New 14 run

For some reason, early on I bought the golden brown jigged bone CC, which I like very much. You guys make me reconsider my choice, since the elderberry is gorgeous, and seems to be all the craze! Oh well... I might need to get a second one.

Yes, I can't complain. I'm just wondering if only one was sold... to me! :D It sure doesn't seem to be popular. Anyway, I like it, and I'll stop now, with three #14. Ok, maybe a TC barlow on the exchange eventually...
 
I've been carrying the jigged bone 2 blader and it has been performing admirably on baler twine and whittling sticks! It's actually looking a lot better with a little wear on it, the Northfields are just so fancy and shiny when new, it can be hard to "knock the new" off of them. I think the jigging and color will only improve with age.

Frankly, it is a touch small in the twine cutting role, I have had it fly out of my hand once when I was really getting after it, haha.

I love GECs acrylics and would have liked a 2 blade option in the Dead Skunk or a kryptonite acrylic.

this little antique jig bone #14, though not an SFO, for the price and a knife that will last a lifetime, is a go to EDC...(IMO)

I only allowed myself one, and chose Lyle's white bone, but I was sorely tempted by the antique jigged bone. I could see picking up a used one on the exchange some day though. I was kinda glad the TC Barlows were only offered in single blade as it made it less disappointing when I inevitably missed out on the reserve. I only have one TC: a clip/pen in ebony, and missing out on a mini version would have hurt. :( :D

Just starting to get a bit of patina now. This one is just going to look better and better as it ages.

r8shell r8shell not a doubt in my mind that Lyle's is a home run. My absolute favorite of the run. Just something about the subtle shield, the etch and tang stamp that takes me back to an earlier time.

Here’s a natural that just came in. I live in constant humidity, so I’m going to force a patina and then drop it in a pocket. When I don’t force it, I usually get some of the orange and brown patina showing up! Should be a great little companion. Thanks to Darren and Frank for keeping me in the loop.

Looks great :) Glad you were able to grab one :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
 
Prefer the single blade over the two blade version by quite a margin. My top five in order of preference:

1. Ebony TC
2. Smooth white bone TC
3. Green bone boot shield
4. Red sawcut bone no shield
5. (tie) Oily bone old man shield / Yellow bone diamond shield

Sleeper: Antique amber jigged bone feels really nice in hand.
