Traditional and Modern pairings

Best I can do with an old phone...

 

Chinese flipper and Japanese friction folder

 

Spyderco Native with Case Barlow

 

Fascinating pairing. That Spyderco is something else, eh? I'd never seen a swedge/cut quite like it. Spyderco's FRN is one of my favorite materials in a modern handle, with its combination of comfort and grip-- yet one more knife/material I didn't fully understand until I had it in hand.

Spiffy TC you've got there, Al.

 

I like the Spyderco Native very much and have a couple three of them. One of the things I like the most is that it is "Pin Construction" NOT "Screw and Post". Further, it doesn't have the Spyderco "Hump" but that's only a minor consideration.

 

Thanks Phil, it was an special SFO... 1 of 0

 

Tools..... Fes

 

940 and 92

 

it's been these two for the last few week...

 

Northfork and 57 today

 

I like the wood scales on that one.

Here's mine today; Jerry Halfrich "Jack Russell" fixed blade, with a Paul Long pocket sheath and a Bailey Bradshaw "Folding Bowie" with the Sawby self-lock.

 

Nice Bradshaw Gary, it's a shame he's no longer making knives. His double rifles are the heat though

 

Thanks, Jerry. Bailey made some great knives. If I remember correctly he was one of few makers that Scott Sawby licensed to use his "self lock" design. I'm real happy to own this one. I know he's out of the cutlery business, has been for years. What we custom knife lovers lost the custom gun lovers gained.

 

Here's another pair I like to carry. Jerry Halfrich Small Rounder in CPM-154 and a William Henry/Tom Brown Quest, button lock in ZDP-189.

 

Very nice. Where did you get your pocket sheath with the clip?
