As always, an eye for design, detail and utility. Well done Charlie.Long a favorite pattern of mine, one I have often called a Two-Blade Stockman!! GEC has allowed me to preview it here, my new SFO!!! It will start production very soon!! It should head out to my usual dealers fairly soon, and will be a limited production!!View attachment 2628792
I have opted to call it the City Stock, and to "Brand" it after my old home town!!
Here is the back label text!!
"City Stock
Designed to serve a City lifestyle, or be appropriate for Ranch duties, (and maybe Buffalo hunting!), this may be the only knife you will ever need in your pocket. Made slim to be a less obtrusive carry, this knife required the advanced cutlery engineering to use only one spring for two blades.
Utilizing the best available materials, the carbon steel blades will gain a protective patina with age and use. Wipe the blades frequently with a soft cloth, and occasionally with an oily cloth, and oil the joints as needed. Waynorth Cutlery planned this knife to last a long time! Keep it Sharp!!
And use it in Good Health and Good Cheer!!
Charlie “Waynorth”!!"

Is there a story behind that jigging and your discussions with Bill Howard? It looks like they really got it right this time!
