Why must you tease with more? :D Put any thought into some straight blades on this frame?

I am very happy with this one, the ebony is so dark and beautiful on it.

 
My kids tell me tease is my middle name, Jeff!

The next batch will have a Sheepfoot, but that's down the road a month or three . . . . . .
 
I'm VERY excited about these pen behind spear. My favorite Barlow setup! I'm going to need more than one!

WHAT!!! There must be others besides me that like that arrangement better. I guess I better start scratching around for some more cash...

I'm planning on getting one of the boys knives in ebony in a couple weeks. But that might have just changed. Has anyone seen the smooth ivory bone on their site? Wow, it looks really nice. On another note, will they be making any pen blades behind the clip? I've seen the spear ones but just wanted to see if they were doing any clips in the future.
 
The clips are much easier to get to than the spears, I wouldn't expect them to make any clip point barlows with pens on the other side.
 
Speaking of Pens on the other side, I finally got my hands on these guys!

They have the usual nice workmanship IMO, plus that easy to reach Pen of course.
Along with them are some 1 blades for those who missed the first Spear Run (or maybe DIDN'T miss them;)).

A comparison shot of the two-blades front (mark) and rear (pile).
The Pen just sits back there waiting for you!

And finally, here's a pic of the Rust Red variations. The previous batch rep is in the middle. The two outside ones (new spears) were dyed longer, without an "overcoat".

We were looking for a deeper red, but dye doesn't always do what is expected. Still nice though. We need to pull out the "Wayback" machine, and go spy on Case in the 40s and 50s!:D
Hope you like them!
