Initials with Black ink (scrimshaw), and later, silver ink!!

A trip down memory lane!! Before my carved initials!!View attachment 1829561

I like your initials on it, as well. Thanks for showing it. You changed the course of the Primble River with that knife !
My Ulster Barlow has similar features. I have always wondered how I could change the V to an L and make it my middle name. Probably should just mail it to Knowtracks one day.

Your finest in my opinion Charlie, it was a bold knife to make, with great history, and a treasured gift of course

Nice Ulster, Rob!! It looks like that Dave could be carefully sanded off, and replaced with a Rob!!

Certainly not real, but, I am warming up to the idea, but, not on my beloved CheChen Rosewood TC. RFLOL

Might be a good time for someone to post the skunk TC. I had forgotten about it.

Hmmm, I hadn't thunk of that Charlie.

I have a CSC trapper that had somebody's name engraved on the springs and I managed to remove it with judicious use of fine steel wool.
