I am encouraged by photos like this...knives that are used and cared for without the thought of diminished value. Just where I live, no judgement of those who feel otherwise.

Probably shown before...but who's monitoring?

Queen City Swell-Centre Stag, single spring: GEC 73 liner-lock in Osage Orange, a wood that I like a lot and be nice to see more GECs with it.

An awful lot of outstanding pairs in this thread. These two of yours caught my eye, Will. The Queen swell center is such a nice pattern and this one has such nice stag and I alway like the looks of a bomb shield. The osage 73 lock knife.... well, I'll just say I'd like to GEC offer that one up again.

Thanks ismaris. While I do have knives that remain unused, using and even modifying pocket knives, actually increases their value in my eyes. We must live in the same neighborhood.

OOOOOHHHH! Ten years ago I dithered for a week or two (that's right that long..) over a Pumpkin Patch 66 and missed out. Now it's coming back to haunt me

Many thanks The Queen Swell Centre is a single-spring knife and it was a present from the late @Half/Stop Ron very kindly sent me it and a large Redbone CASE Penknife, a total Gent. The 73 locker is a tough work-knife, it can cut grippy stuff like hard plastics and tough rubber without shutting on you Kind of pity the bright Orange colour fades to brown but it's very durable wood.

Regards, Will
