Super sleek Saddlehorns!

[YellowSwiss]

Share em here! Just got mine and it really catches attention.

I don't have any individual pics of my Saddlehorn so this will have to do for now. Right side slots near the top contain two Saddlehorns. The one on the bottom has found a new home but I still have the other one.

Believe it or not this Saddlehorn is possibly the most ergonomic knife I've ever held and absolutely blue in person even though the camera always makes it looks black. (???) It is a highly favored knife!

It is a very ergonomic pattern, but the redundancy of the blade shapes has always bothered me. So, having a belt sander, I did a little regrinding. Here's the before and after.

On this Ocoee River saddlehorn, I actually reground the larger clip for the sheepfoot.

I like that jigging sparrow. Nice color too.

Thanks VashHash. One of the best things about Case is their jigging. As far as color... it really is blue.

Definitely agree with that. I love their peach seed.

Here is mine. With antique Case bone. I think Kerry Hampton knocked it out of the park. This one finds its way into my pocket more than any other knife I own.

Very, very nice!! That one does it for me too!! The jigging, rat tail bolster, clip blade with swedge and bare head all add up to one special custom. Thanks for showing it Chris.

 

[Half/Stop]

Chris that Hampton is an outstanding knife! I can certainly understand why it finds its way to the pocket so often!

I use my saddlehorn all the time:

Sorry couldn't resist. However a guy can certainly see where the pattern got its name. Really liking the reprofile job black mamba. Thats pretty darn svelte.

 

[black mamba]

Thanks, Dave, and that DOES look like a very nice saddle!

 

[Horsewright]

Thanks sir and it is. We've got four by the same maker (John Willasma), Like em a lot. He's got some of my knives.

These are really nice looking knives and they fit into your palm of your hand just right. I have one in Jade bone. I need more of these.

Great minds think alike - I HATED that oddly shaped skinner blade - for me, a sheepsfoot is much more functional ...

What timing for this topic to jump to the top of the forum as I just took this photo today. This is a Gene Wiseman. I love everything about this knife.

 

[Halfneck]

Wish Case offered more single blade Saddlehorn options. I like how it feels in-hand, and it's easy to pinch open.

Wow! What a beauty Chris!

 

[Chris Montgomery]

rockman0, that Ruple is a beautiful knife. I love the pins, old school appeal at its finest when paired with maroon micarta.

CrowCountry, I really like that Wiseman. It's nice to see a shadow Saddle horn.
