OK, now lets see some handles with a bit of fire in them

Arathol · Dec 10, 2006

be it pearl or whatever. Bring out your best Sunday go-to-meetin stuff regardless of what it is.

I'll open with these

A Case Copperhead and a Kabar trapper in pearl

A Gunboat Canoe and a Sunday Stockman in gold lip pearl from Bulldog

I'm not into 'BLING' this is my most exotic handle.

Apple Coral on an Al Mar Osprey.

Arathol · Dec 10, 2006

I like those Al Mar folders. Here's one with micarta handles that have had a bit of embellishment added

ClintB · Dec 10, 2006

That is SWEET!

Looks like a Hawk with a scrimshaw redtail. Where the heck did you get that?

Arathol · Dec 10, 2006

I picked it up at a knife show in Windsor Ct a few years ago. There was a woman at one table who was a scrimshaw artist, and she had a couple of these Al Mar Hawks that she had done. Theres a large feather running along the length on the obverse side of the knife. Way cool, and one of a kind I think too.

This is a small pocket fixed blade knife,with Stellar Sea Cow Bone,by Charles May.It is called the Handi- Scandi
This is Mike Robuck's new Chamblin.

waynorth · Dec 11, 2006

Nice May, Vince!
Can you show the blades on the Chamblin??

smiling-knife · Dec 11, 2006

I think this one is from the c1930s. Made by Harrison Bros & Howson of Sheffield . It has the new fangled "Rustless" blades.

Thanks Karl and you're welcome. You must be based in Europe somewhere as I always see you onboard quite early. Either that or you are a chronic insomniac. The second pic is a little darker than real life but it refelcts the colour nicely bluegreen and some pink tones on the right.

Charlie Waynorth,here ya go.....

The Ironwood on this May,is unreal...

Very Special Amber Stag,by Daniel Warren

waynorth · Dec 11, 2006

Yup, I live in Switzerland.
Just had my lunch as a matter of fact

The pearl on that Harrison is very lovely indeed. These things don't seen to loose the luster when ageing.

VCM3:
The wood in that Charles May is truly a stunner.
More of that please??

That is beautiful work David.

I really like your Pearl Rogers knife 2toes.

Thanks for showing them.

El Lobo · Dec 11, 2006

Here is what was once a Stockman...dressed up by Wendell Carson in 1981.

Some great knives here. :thumbup:

smiling-knife · Dec 11, 2006

I like that pearl El Lobo. Reminds me of a Rainbow trout.

This one is not a fiery pearl, but is a nice stag-handled pen knife. It is marked Wade Wingfield and Rowbotham Sheffield.

Mike Robuck · Dec 11, 2006

Great lookin' knives everyone. If you think the Chamblin VCM3 sold me is nice wait till you see his new one.
