This one right here Nothing fancy just all work:thumbup:

Here's an Old Kutmaster---Tough f&f but made to work:thumbup: Brown jigged Delrin handles, no half stops but the blades are ROCK SOLID and sharp!!!

Sun shots to highlight what little color the covers do have...

@ Woodrow Thank you. Even though the covers are jigged Delrin they are kinda nice

@ Willydigger Very nice collection...I'm still in awe of your TC Barlow bead:thumbup:

Real nice Kutmaster Paul - beautiful bone! - EDIT!! is that Delrin - wow - nice jigging on it! Knowing its Delrin still doesnt take anything away from those lovely covers - just a real nice knife!

Nice line up willydigger!!! they are looking just great together!

Some rare birds:

I want to thank Barry (Gunstock Jack) for bringing MY idea to life. He not only exceeded my expectations by one hundred fold, I was so excited when I saw my vision come to life with his outstanding work. I asked him to add his own twists to the design and he surely did. The other side included my initials and is just as nice! I was even more astounded when I learned he had gifted this beautiful pocket slip to me!

I suppose this awesome effort will make any future copycats think twice about theivery of Primble's ideas. I can't thank you enough Barry - more excited than getting a new Charlow and everybody knows how I feel about that. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

I hope you don't hate Barry and me too bad Evan.

P.S. - I sure am thankful my new Beerlow was airborne and on it's way home, before I happened to post this.

My pics are no where near the Caliber of paulhilborns (very nice) I really like the Kutmaster and I remembered I had one in the Archives if you will so here it is, Black Delrin handles and smooth as silk. I threw a couple of my other Barlows I had close by in the mix as well.

of course the pics are crappy,and get your sunglasses ready for the second pic.

Primble my friend, I didn't realize you had patent rights on the TC trademark Charlie might be giving you some grief for infringement of proprietary rights.

You mean that is a TRADEMARK ??? huh? I thought that meant Tom's Choice?? !!!

It was my idea to put it to leather and past that I did not make either - Charlie can blame Barry and Evan the cat for that !!!

I guess I could take a little bit of blame for emailing them my Photoshopped ideas - just throw the dogs (or cats) a bone!!

My last infringement pic for today:
