Nice DE Philll!
Thanks for adding the Russell pics, Evan, That is one sweet pair!
tstaut, here's a scan of my curmudgeonly ONB. One of my older knives, alongside one of my younger ones. It is quite pitted, but works perfectly, and holds an edge forever! I knew a woodcarver who used to protect his handles, then bury his knives in damp soil until they were suitably pitted!! He said the porosity achieved in the steel worked wonders!!! Go figger . . . . .
In all the years I have known Glenn on here, I have admired his cutlery skills, but never got a chance to have him do a knife for me, until a little trade came up! I consider myself lucky to have his work now in hand!
He did a masterful job of fitting some nice John Lloyd-sourced stag onto this TC; a match made in heaven!!
GEC does not put premium Stag on Tidioutes. In fact there was a little reluctance on putting third-cut handles on the Barlows (just a little!).
But, I had to have one. Here it is, fitted to the bolsters in the best Sheffield tradition: Thanks, Glenn!
