I agree, nice little fella that one

here's my littlest fella, afraid i only did the scales and sheath though, john did the hard work

It IS an absolute beauty though, very nice sir :thumbup:
 
Very awesome!!! looks like P sent that stuff to just the right guy :cool:

It is the Paperstone that ~P gifted me... There is a WIP thread on this knife in the JK Forum if you want to see how it came together...
And thanks! I call it constellation blue :)
 
YFound this Graef & Schmidt Smooth Bone Jack in my basement a little while ago, it looked like it was used to open one gallon paint cans and stir paint. When I was finally able to unfreeze the main blade I could see there were chips taken outta the blade by the last owners obvious abuse.

I cleaned it up, got all the paint and rust off, reground the main blade and now it's in my hand, against my stone getting the attention it deserves and a sharp blade to boot.

Here it is:

Ted, it is always nice to see a rescued knife, or kitten, or puppy.

Did you already carve that ball in cage with it? Or is that just for context?

Barry, I sure wish there were rocks like that in these parts with those nice knives on them. Are they common in your area?

It was a prop Ed :), I actually carved out over the course of a month of lunch hours when I was working as a mechanic for the County courthouse. I used a Case Seashore Whittler a friend brought me back from Smokey Mountain Knifeworks.

I used to sit on the front steps every lunch just carvin' away, the Sheriffs would stop and talk knives on their way back and forth to the prison.

I do love rescuing knives, now that I don't have to fix things for a living I actually enjoy fixing and fabricating things.
 
Carried my 53 today. When I got home a great package was waiting for me. I get to spend a little time getting too know this White Owl. I really like it so far :thumbup:

Ed, those granite boulders are lying aroung all over the Okanogan backcountry in north central Washington State. Beautiful, rugged country formed by ancient lava flows, floods, and glacier action. The fishin' ain't bad either!
 
I was carrying this today. I have had it for about 30+ years. No clue the details of it other then it's marked as a rancher iv and the blade has a globe marked united which I think is united cutlery. It's also marked with uc 403 surgical steel Japan. It was the only knife I could afford being 14 at the time. It's very odd since its light stag on one side and dark stag on the other. If I remember correctly it may have been a salesman's demo piece.
