Sorry, but I can not resist posting again these three wonders!!!

Added a couple older ones, Wostenholm with a spey blade and very nice jigged bone and a Camillus, well worn but with some pretty bone also.

 

[waynorth]

Both great finds, Augie!
Better that your average Barlow, Boo Boo!!

That shade scrimshaw is enviable, PT! The bolster engraving is cool, and something about the ducks makes me want a knife with ducks.

... How's the walk and quack? Ba-dooh, tshhh!

Augie, the Wostenholm is stupendous! That bone is some of the best I've seen on a Barlow.

The jigging on that Wostenholm is fantastic !!!

Lovely sawcut on that one, Paul. GEC amazes me with what they can do. Here is the latest run. Cranberry makes me drool.

Notice the difference in the blade marking, between the older and the run from this summer. My knife shows single blade marks, and yours shows a three mark pattern.
I remember an old thread talking about the difference in the blade depth, on the TCs. But this looks like a different blade pattern altogether. The variation makes it so fun.
