The knife is finished out pretty well . Someone with more skills than just a Blacksmith worked on it . The edge looks well sharpened , but I have not tried to cut anything with it yet . Nice grain in the Cocobolo . I was very surprised at the level of finish on the Spline . Did not expect it to be highly polished . Very happy with it and like that I do not have to make a Sheath for it . I can see why people wanted to buy them back in 2014 -2015 .
Edited to add : Very surprised to see a Guard hammered into the Blade . I am going to have to show some better pictures Mark , but I think you probably have one .

I had two of the whitetails in Cocobolo. Now I have one and Harry has one. I never did anything to either. That was how Lon finished them at the time. Glad to see you like it Mr. Harry !

This is the other one:

I need to get up with you sometime to find out what kind of lucky charms you was carrying around Harry. The first 2 names out of the bucket was Old Engineer, then R8shell, then old Engineer again. I stirred them names up really good and again after I folded them all. Seemed like some kind of force at work. Good thing for the others that I had the you can only win one knife rule.

I had a Lon Humphrey Muely that I foolishly let go a few years ago. I was really impressed with the workmanship. The hammered guard surprised and impressed me too.

It’s sporting clays day again. Today I brought the first Case/Bose collaboration knife that I purchased.

Outstanding John.

That is a really pretty 29 Jim.

Been carrying the 88 Gator all week. Figured I would give this one some air today.

Nice substitute Mark!

Thanks Joe !!! ... the knife is from Forge de Laguiole (my second FdeL) and the fit and finish is okay but not up to the standards of the Fontenille Pataud knives I have
Doesn't matter, this one will be a user
