"Old Knives"

[Oldy]

R8shell, I have an old Keen Kutter with a similar divot out of the clip as your spey. I always assumed it was "arc-ed" while doing some electrical work.

mine came ready to strip wire as well.

That's what made me buy it was the bone,I like that the old bone which had that deep dieing process that when the dark brown faded it it didn't show the white bone underneath,it faded to that beautiful honey golden look.

Absolutely! Sometimes we buy the blades and sometimes we buy the bone. And when they come together....

My favorite Catt.

More Ulsterations in bone.

These "french ivories" scare Charlie but more to me. Those old rascals are older than me and still better in shape than my knees.

Back to the bone.

Although I'm not a fan of polishing the blades on old knives, at least the person who polished the master blade on this did a decent job. It looks like they didn't round over the blade/swedge transition very much.

Cal I can see why that Catt is your favourite! Beautiful.

Those Ulsters are absolutely gorgeous, the whittlers are superb my friend!

Love the Bone on that example at the bottom Cal!!

French ivory seems durable!! It is other cells that I don't trust!! Nice knife, Cal!!

 

[tongueriver]
