"Old Knives"

Thanks! Ebony Jacks are the Platonic Ideal of pocketknives.

I complain about "social media" because I am a curmudgeon, but I have to admit it's wonderful to be able to make friends and learn from people all around the world. :thumbsup:

I think curmudgeony is a prerequisite of being an "old knife" nut ;) We should get "Certificates of Curmudgeonness" :D
 
Here's one that r8shell r8shell will approve of :D I've been looking for one of these for a while now and finally got one at a reasonable cost... just love the pocket worn look of this one :):thumbsup: It's my first Schrade Cut Co with this tang stamp on it. Even though this knife has seen it's share of active duty, amazingly the pen blade still has "like new" half stop / snap and the clip is not too far behind ;)

Not sure how many Ulster jacks I have but this one is special cuz I got it for under $10 :D Took me 12 minutes with a Scotch-Brite sponge* to clean it up and have it looking (and feeling) like near new, full snap and all ;) The thumbnail photos are what the knife looked like when I got it, I think someone thought it was a piece of junk o_O

Normally I crop my photos but this knife seemed to like being seen on the pedestal :)

You would think from the delight I take in showing off minty knives when I find them, that I wouldn't think twice about worn, patina-ed knives like your SCC, Kevin!:eek:
But I get equal warm, fuzzy feelings from knives with long, mysterious histories such as this one!!!:)
Nice going!!!:thumbsup:

I do indeed approve! Not only for its "long, mysterious history", but for the lovely caramel bone. :):thumbsup::thumbsup:

Hi Kevin. First off nice job bringing back the lush color of those scales. Did you scotchbrite both the scales and the blade?
