Wow....aint that something! I suspected the construction would be unusual. Thanks for taking the time
 
Beautiful slim construction, and that Shadow style adds to the allure!

Certainly would be impressed with a contemporary SFO Shadow:cool:;)
 
The Ericksons look great side-by-side, Lyle!

Lyle, here's the tool I use on my scanner to hold knives upright/on edge.

Fuse%20puller_zpsniezwwcl.jpg


It is a fuse-puller. Available at hardware or electrical supply establishments, I put some grippy tape around one set of jaws, and adjust the tension with rubber bands. The plastic won't scratch the scanner, nor will it scratch a nice knife! The subject knife is a Seahorse whittler by Case.
 
They weren't kidding in the catalog description about thick brass liners! Can't see in the pictures how they terminated the spacers with the springs but it's good to leave something to the imagination sometimes. Quite an interesting design overall and I second the motion for a new SFO!
 
May or may not be of interest here, but SAK makes a 2 bladed budding knife with the comb on the secondary. Although both blades are equal length; about 4" overall.
Thanks, Neal
 
Thanks Q,Will,Charlie,and Neal70. I'll have to try the fuse pliers.

Something to think about Will, and I have.....

Next comes farmer jack royalty. I had asked Charlie C if he would bring his Ken Erickson to GEC to allow me to examine it's beauty firsthand. You know I'm kinda interested in all farmers jacks! I grin

Upon setting up Charlie told me to place it along side it's sister for display, which I gladly did. When packing up, Charlie said he had thought about it and that knife probably belonged with it's sister in the farmers jack collection,would I like to purchase it. Would I!

I had bit my tongue all the time Charlie owned it,as I know he admires his Ken Erickson knives as much or more than any knife he owns.Luckily I had purchased a Ken rendition of a Remington jack that I could include in the deal to get the farmers jack, so I didn't feel too opportunistic.

Thanks again my friend. Here they are:

Im sorry to copy Paul for carrying this over - but MAN!!!! I just dont know what to say.....
 
Me too guys, it makes me happy to share the beauty of these with others.

Duncan :D

Bob :D
 
Josh A fine combination and I have the same. The Ivory Bone is the object of veneration and the Jigged Bone the field-hand. I had to pay quite a lot for the Ivory Bone what with foreign postage and import tax but I'll never regret it. Can't give a knife a greater compliment. This pattern has so much true character and capability.

Thanks, Will
 
Glad Josh.

The smooth ivory might be my favorite of the Lick Creeks...if it weren't for the antique yellow and ebony ones. Smiles

A great pair Josh. My antique yellow bone is my dedicated worker as well. That smooth bone looks good on you:p:cool::thumbup:
 
Thanks guys for the compliments and thanks Paul. I was finally able to get this one from Paul on my third attempt.

Any thoughts on doing a run of these in 2017 Lyle?
 
This Cranberry Jigged Bone Gem finds itself in my pocket more and more.:) The Smooth Ivory, purchased from Lyle at the 2015 Rendezvous, is definitely a prized member of my collection.;)
