NOTABLE PAIRS : Only traditionals

Bonus pic from the weekend. Two Case Tony Bose bone modern classics.

A pair of Sonoran Skinners:

Both in AEB-L stainless at 62-63 RC add with a brass bolster. One is handled in elk and the other in sheephorn. Both have copper Loveless bolts used for handle attachment.

They diverge on their sheaths quite a bit:

A Slotted sheath for the elk one. A Slotted sheath is extremely versatile and can be worn 360 degrees on the belt.

A right hand draw Small of the Back sheath (SOB) for the sheephorn skinner:

Bought this pair from a fellow club member for a few bucks!! He had them for years and never used them!! I don't know much about Brusletto , but some old-school hunting knife makers used their steel for custom FB builds!!
I like the simplicity of them, and the nicely shaped handles and blades!!

I probably won't start collecting FBs, but I like these simple Norwegian knives!!!

Harry and Steve Morseth used Brusletto Laminated blades in their knives. John

Thanks John!! I had a mint, original Morseth at the Oregon Show, and I believe it was Harry's Daughter who bought it from me!!!
She wanted it for a display of her late father's work!! Wish I had a pic

Eureka! Eurekas.

Almost feels like these two came out of the same cutlery workshop! Needham Brothers sportsman’s knife in horn and GEC eureka jack in (not very snakey) snakewood. Still a gorgeous handle! I added a flute to the bolster, the threading isn’t my taste on a knife like this.

Is the large back tool on the Needham a hoof pick?

It sure is! It’s got a nutcracker cutout as well. I’ll take a couple photos in the sunlight tomorrow

I had to bend the hook slightly when I was cleaning up the knife, it was impossible to unhook by hand. Even using the edge of a workbench to lever it open I was afraid I’d break a scale or put a gouge in the back springs. Now it’s VERY stiff but manageable.
