L-R: 33 Dog Paw, 62 Easy Pocket Congress, 48 Dogleg Jack, 15 AAPK Rope Knife.

The 33 sees the most pocket time, though the 62 is one of my favorites (2 blade opposite ends are a personal preference).

Excellent quad! I really like the trapper.

Thank you Joshua. There are a lot of really nice knives in this thread.

Here are a few pics I posted in the Trapper Tuesday thread a few months back. The mark side is much darker than the pile.

The last run of the 99 Wall St. in stainless.... Are the back springs stainless as well?

I don't know for sure, but it would be strange if they weren't.

Here's my stainless 42. It also happens to be my first maroon micarta handled knife. I love this cover material!

I like how they split the name.

imagine so, the other GEC Cyclops knives are all stainless springs.

On this point, it's interesting that CASE cv knives have stainless springs and I like this as it helps keep the interior cleaner. Some Böker Germany knives have the reverse, stainless blade, carbon spring- odd...

I don't like having carbon blades with stainless springs, or vice versa like on uncle henry's, but that's the way it is sometimes. I won't turn down a knife I like just because of that.

Lovely knife you have there. I like maroon micarta too. I have a Tod Davison linerless in this material. It's beautifully textured and very stiff and light. Cool material.

The jigged bone is a real winner. Great knife

So what have you got to show? Here's my favorite: a Navy knife modified into a lambsfoot by traumkommode

I’ve got a Navy knife inbound. What’s the best way to remove the bail? Does the original pin stay in place or is that added? Thanks for your help.

I've got another navy knife lambsfoot modified by traumkommode :

As far as I know, you can just cut the bail and peen the leftover metal. That's what Andrew did to mine, I'm pretty sure.

I had the EO notch added to this 74 Mustang and it gets tons of pocket time.

I grind the end of the pin of on either side, because it's already peened. Then I grind it cut through the nail and pull rich side of. Then grind down the pin ends a little until they're nice and flat, then peen gently, then a Little more grinding and a hand sand to finish.
