Thanks, yours show off your knives very well.Thank you, Bart.
I just wanted to carry a larger workhorse knife, even though my plans were more pony sized.
Thank you, GT.
Only if he adopts the name Arthur.
Very sweet looking little fixed blade... not sure I'd seen that one yet.
Beautiful horn your Lambsfoot, Jack.
Very nice picture, as most of your pictures are.
No argument from me!These posts do little to debunk the frequent claim that Austin is weird!!
Thank you, Bart.

Thanks pal, I like the look of that 'Special horn dressing' you're using
Thanks, John. Its an ESEE I’ve had for several years. It originally had OD canvas scales and I recovered it with those paper Micarta scales that were left over material from the skate ramp surface.Very sweet looking little fixed blade... not sure I'd seen that one yet.
Thank you for the very kind words.
Lol...I like the look of that 'Special horn dressing' you're using
You did a fantastic job.
Oh Wow!!!
Can't beat that pair.
Carrying this Okapi Biltong today. Very charming knife, I like it even with its flaws. The wood is beautiful from some angles but very ugly from others. I don't know if I got unlucky, but some areas appear more resin than wood. Luckily most angles are more flattering. The tip of the blade also contacts the handle when closed, so I'll have to be careful about closing it. There is an exposed pin on the inside of the handle, I don't know how much clearance the blade has but no contact with the edge at this point. Tiny amount of forward-back play when open, the smallest amount of side to side play noticeable. Neither is enough to really matter or even notice most of the time.
Surprisingly decent walk and talk, blade came poorly ground at the edge but is sharp enough to try out a bit. Handle is very comfortable. 2.4" edge, 4" closed, the perfect size.
For $15 I'm happy, but I'd LOVE a $30 version with a bit more refinement.
Edit: Knife is not suitable to use. Somehow, by just opening and closing the knife, the tang managed to marr or gouge or scratch the spring. It's now unbelievably gritty and grindy, actively unpleasant to open or close. Knife self-destructed without even using it and isn't worth a dime, would strongly suggest never purchasing. I can't believe a company would put out such a fundamentally flawed knife with such unbelievably unsuitable materials, the spring must be made of pot metal. Lasted less than a day.
Great photo Bart, but wow, what a difference from your signature photos!Ettrick and a small fixed blade.
It was really dry where I was today.
Outstanding Jack.Have a good Friday folks
It sure is Gary. Synthetic Ebony and jigged Chestnut are probably my favorite covers from Case.That black stockman is very dapper!

Saw this picture in another thread and didn’t even realize it was bacon!
Too bad remove the spring and tighten the pivot, converting it to a friction folder isn't an option.Carrying this Okapi Biltong today. Very charming knife, I like it even with its flaws.
