Argyle is such an under used colour-way on knife scales :)
 
I know what you mean... but it´s a nice knife and still rocksolid (after some hours :eek: of cleanup on a foggy saturday afternoon).

And the handle "colors" are a little strange - but that´s just cosmetics ;)

BTW: You have VM ;)

Okay, I own one of the 76's in copperhead bone so I hope no one takes offense to this, but your copy of it is by far the nicest I have seen, Peter.

I know I am going to be sorry I don't have money for a Pemberton like that too. Wow, both are just amazing.

Thanks Kevin, your the one that got me onto this pattern. I am very happy with it! I now need to work on care & sharpening equipment...hence the PM about stones.

Regards,
Peter
 
Carried the new Half Whitt today. This thing is a 66 on steroids as far as feel in the hand goes. Ill bump my pic thread with the group shot ;)

The coffee house acrylic is stunning in person. I will try to really capture it this weekend. My first acrylic and I am very pleased. The wharnie has already got me in my palm when closing it, great job on this one GEC :thumbup:

Got my first sowbelly a couple days ago...there's something about those lines that I can't stop staring at. As a bonus, it's a "good Case"; perfect fit and finish, walk and talk, and even came centered and evenly ground to boot! *faith restored*

LOVE that coffee house acrylic Jeff!

If you all keep posting these gorgeous pictures of coffee house acrylic 57s, I may be forced to sell something in order to get one.
 
Thanks Doug :)

I think the ergos on the 57 are better then the 66, atleast in my hand. The fuller end of the knife just locks in your hand and ooohhh how I love how slim it is. The joint on the wharnie is almost completely flush when closed and covers the pens joint (which is almost flush itself) completely, making it a great pocket carry. I highly recommend picking one up, the coffee house I am sure wont be around long. Now I want another flavor, wish they had made an ebony.

Oh and I actually really like the pen on this one. Its flat ground on one side and swedged on the other, super thin and will be a surgical tool if needed ;)
 
Glad to hear some aside from me appreciates the 57. Nice one Jeff, couldn't agree more about the points you made.

Thanks Kevin. While mines the Half version I am pretty sure it just loses a little fat when the coping blade got dropped off. It took a straight main blade for me to appreciate the pen as a tag along blade. While I did not like the feel of the wharncliffe blade closed on the saddle trapper it feels great on this smaller knife. I wouldnt want to see a moose pattern made on this frame with a wharnie as one of the blades but I dont mind it with the small pen. Gives you a great grip to use it. Pattern after pattern I am really starting to narrow down on a "type" and its nice to have a little stable of reliable users to pick from.
 
Thanks Jeff. I tend to go for smaller knives than you do, but I think we may have found common ground on this one. Your description only increases my interest.
 
Very cool, and yup the tapered spring whittler is very slim too :)

I just caught your group shot very excellent assortment IMO :)

We truly are opposites when it comes to our preferences but I still enjoy all those great pics of those little guys. I know you moved your 66 out of the barn but I dont know why. Hoping the comparison pic in the other thread shows ya that its bigger then the 66 in almost every way except thickness. All that aside I think it is better in the pocket and I dont feel it as much.

Its about time you reminded everyone how good the 57 whittler looks Kevin ;)

Thanks a lot about my collection, I appreciate that. I am trying to be well rounded as far as usage goes. I think im pretty close to covering my cutlery needs, at least thats what I tell my wife ;) :D
 
Here you go, Jeff. Both of these sit in my EDC bunch :)
