Nowland Saddlehorn Trapper

[rbmcmjr]

Got a new one in the mail this week:

Photos are a little bit sucky (note the reflection of my hand and camera in the rear bolster), but they convey how nice the knife is. This has Rick's integral milled bolsters/liners with dovetailed jigged bone in a nice honey/amber color. 3.5" closed, the blades are 2.75" each, with half-stops and very good walk and talk.

I'm not sure if you would describe that as a Turkish or California clip, but it sure seems that way to me.

Thats a beauty, rbmcmjr! Great jigging too. I'll second the request for pics of the back, lets see those springs and the dovetailing

Very nice! I don't own a Saddlehorn.......yet. You guys just love finding new ways to make me spend my money.

Went and took some, just for you guys:

Bottom, showing the fitting of springs, liners, and scales:

Not the best shot, but the blade tips are well centered (better than the photo shows):

Shown with its fellow Nowlands, a 5-blade Sowbelly and Wharncliff Copperhead:

I won't hijack this thread, but I have one of these patterns by Nowland I'm picking up later today. This would be the first from this maker.
