My newest Osage with my 1871. The sheath is from Rick Lowe, and is meant for a Bison, but is serving double duty at the moment.
Can you say blue? And this particular osage has some of the best chatoyancy I've seen in this wood. It ripples in the light.

I'm still laughing at your calling Pert a sir! Though it's an understandable mistake considering how few and far between the ladies are on here.
Now...waiting for you to post some weaponry!

You're quite right my good man.Beautiful! Except, that's not a "bolster," that's a half-and-half handle.![]()
Now, now, let's get it right:
He called me a "good man." That's way better.
All in good fun! As I've mentioned before, I read Bladeforums for a while before joining and, noting the predominately male membership base and the dynamics thereof, chose a 'neutral' username when I signed on so that I could start talking about knives and glean from others without drawing attention to myself: "Look! A GURL!!" (I've seen this happen.) Even when meant with good intention, it can change discussion dynamics from the get-go.
So now, discussion draws to a halt when others point out a misapplied pronoun (or noun, in this instance) here or there.
(It's nothing that bothers me either way, which is good because I've brought this upon myself.)

Sorry P, no offense intended. I was just ribbing you a bit. You were right, it's not a bolster. It's half and half.
Happy New Year [emoji324]

Top rifle. Marlin 39? And an old school Winchester 94? Very nice!
