My two Patch knives. One in Osage. The other in Curly Ash. Both with blue liners.

The Ash arrived yesterday. Figured I'd post pics next to the Osage for comparison.

Nice set there Tony. That curly ash has some unbelievable curl and color.

Thanks Rick. And thanks for the phone call! I'll get by soon and bring it so you can check it out.

That curly ash is really something! Great looking set of knives Tony! Allen's patch design looks very comfortable and practical.

Very nice!
I really like the orange liners with the Osage. Blue liners are great with it too.

Thank you! I'm a fan of it myself. Can't wait to watch it age. Good looking Hunter, is cool how the stripes and liners change the look of a knife so much.

Osage orange trees or Bois D'arc (wood of the bow) were used by the Indians to make their bows and ranchers used them before barbed wire to enclose their range lines. It's a very historical tree and wood.

Definitely! I'd love to have an Osage bow.

Tony, that Ash is something else. Whoa.

That is a perfect example of why I cut it the way I do. Look at those rays pop! Nice knife!

It's one of your old fat handled ones. Good for us long fingered guys One of my favorite things with osage is how well it ages.

 

[Odaon]

I guess I should add this picture to this thread also.

The cool patterns in the grain really pop at that angle.

Beautiful knife and great picture Odaon!

Great pic Oadon. You really captured the curves, and the spalting well in that shot.
