You are single handedly convincing me to pick up a CJ, your comparison pic in your thread with the bullnose was most helpful :thumbup:

Thanks Jeff, I'll be using the Micarta version for work, the pomele one is for weekends:) I reckon if the ebony version is anything like the ebony on your Charlow it'd be a stunner....:)
 
Ah well, I spent a fair amount of the morning stooped over weeding in the vegetable garden. To preclude plumber's grin, I wore overalls. And when you wear overalls, you kinda hafta have a sodbuster in your pocket. A nice yellow Queen sodbuster. I find some other sodbusters to be a bit blunt. The Queen blade shape works better for me and the D2 is becoming my favorite traditional steel.

:thumbup: Those Queen sodbusters are one of the best deals around in a hard-working slipjoint, imo. I'm trying really hard not to succumb to one of the micarta versions.
 
In my pocket..



and on my belt..



The GEC is developing a really nice patina now, loads of purple and pearlesence!
 
Had these two with me all day today... "Menefee Made" Lanny's clip and a Wards (made by Winchester) Dogleg Jack.

Think I have my fill of ebony for now ;). I am actually looking at the micarta like yours or one of the bones. Very tempting pattern for me but I can say that about a lot of GEC's knives.

I'm afraid a lot of that is shadow. That pic was taken yesterday, but here's one taken the day before. I'll hopefully soon have it a darker grey, but the Case mirror polishing is pretty good :)
