Fantastic Stag on that Reese of yours John
The Old Dog's is none too poor either

Thanks Will Power Pileside:

Never certain about stag until seen from above. Reese nailed it, or should I say domed it. This view also shows how Tony relieved the liner and scale slightly to enhance pen nail nick access. Not as easily done with stag as it is more variable and I chose opposite sides for nail nicks.

Macro view shows different size stock for different size blades and different width springs achieving the same perceived pull on both blades. Masterful.

Just because I like this view.

Takes the breath away.

Chief Many thanks for those detail shots, very interesting. I was wondering why you chose different placements for the nail-nicks.

I have to confess, that if I were lucky enough to own that Reece I'd use it to death

Regards, Will

I guess that technically three knives is three pairs: 1 and 2, 2 and 3, and 1 and 3. But however you add 'em up, these are beautiful!

Happy Birthday!
Anyway... It's a celluloid wrap on the shell construction handles. I got the stockman quite a while ago and couldn't believe it when I saw the little jack a few weeks ago, had to get it for the matching pair!

Thanks! Those are cool. Glad you found a mate for the first one!

Couple of kitchen knives. Spruce cone handles and copper hardware:

Really a pair and a spare:

This handle material just lights up in the sun:

A pair of Churchills; notable because they are regularly displacing favorites of mine from daily carry.
