Oh yeah, I can understand that Barry, I used to own the Cattles with the High relief Cattle head on the Handle, one was a Dan Burke from memory and the other- Utica?
This example is gorgeous- lucky you Barry!

Rhid's first stockman; he didn't want to sell it but with much begging and pleading I finally talked him into it. Fantastic knife, and of course Rhid's impeccable fit and finish!

Rhidian has an impeccable eye for proportions!!
Such a knife!!! A heartbreaker!!!

This may be my favorite Rhidian made knife; execution is flawless. The pulls are about mid-range but as on his other knives, but seem lighter. The blades fold in and out crisply on this true split spring whittler with a great choice of blades; the mammoth ivory is absolutely outstanding! And oh yeah, it won best folder at the 2023 OKCA Show! I'm very happy to be the current conservator of this knife!
