These arrived yesterday from a Master's bench. I asked @jsdistin to rehandle a GEC 71 Bullnose and 13 Clerk with English Yew and Olive Wood respectively.. For the Clerk he added Rat-Tails and inlet a beautiful shield, the results are astounding, my photo is poor due to the lack of daylight now but you'll get some idea.

Thanks, Will

Thank you very much John, I'm glad that there hasn't always been such a lolly scramble for them :eek: My Radio Jack is half of a matched pair, but GEC kind of cocked the shield up on my Harness Jack :(

My word that is outstanding

I just love that 71 who did the rehandle anywhere near England?

I would sacrifice one of my orange 71s for that.

Carrying this one today -- the first knife I bought with my own money, circa 1983-ish. I guess I wasn't patient enough to wait until I'd saved up enough of my allowance to buy a Buck, so I went with this one. Would Brasso be my best best for cleaning up the bolsters?

yes or cape cod.
 
First thing this morning out in the sun,I had forgotten I even owned this one.

Its outstanding build quality,silky smooth,sits in a pocket perfect with no rough edges,if it was GEC people would rave.

Yet I dont understand why it doesn't move me,is it to perfect?

I dont like totally smooth girls (boring) or music either without some rough edges (the blues has to be rough so does punk),maybe that's it.

Thanks, I have a couple of the Alox models. I’m on the lookout for the change in the 40’s or 50’s when they put the sharp edge on the inside of the screwdriver/scraper.

Harder to find.

I am not sure exactly what model that is I have a 49 I sent back to Vic for a sympathetic refurb its outstanding 2 tools are still nail breakers though,they where tougher back then.

I think they turned out absolutely amazing! The Yew gives the Bullnose a vintage look, at least to my eyes.
 
My wife is a friendly woman. She will strike up a conversation with anyone in the grocery check-out line, the line at the bank, etc.. I've often told her she'd strike up a conversation with a dead skunk if the opportunity ever presented itself. Lo-and-Behold, on the way home from town yesterday there was a dead skunk laying right in the middle of the road. I nonchalantly said to Cindy; "Would you like me to stop so you can talk to that dead skunk?" with no reply from her. I'm staying home today with this Gerber Sportsman at hand as a drive to town will be impossible because of the frost still on the windshield.
