Sarah, we've all seen that one coming, didn't we?
Yes, I will be more favorably inclined towards returning Jeff's knife now that I have its sibling.
I had no idea I would like this pattern so much, nor that I wouldn't like all iterations of the same (GEC's store inventory and an otherwise fetching Kingwood that Bob had along left me cold last week end). I'm really glad I waited for this Jobillo; I've never seen anything quite like it-- in a good way.
Hmmm...what's that sheath I spy holding?
Oh, that's just a little something-something I also picked up along the way last week end, upon the delightful surprise of discovering Blind Horse Knives at the Queen Cutlery event.
BHK Frontier First Patch Knife, O1 steel clad in green micarta.
Emphasis on
little something-something:
Just a coincidence. Mine just came up in the rotation today.:thumbup:
I'd been eyeing that one on Barry's website for weeks and almost pulled the trigger several times (if not for other expenses)......then it disappeared.....wondered where it went.
Glad Jeff's #79 convinced you to take the plunge; you won't be disappointed, Sarah. (I own two and want more!)
I've eyed this knife for weeks as well, and am now glad I took the plunge before Mr Rick posted pictures of his and prompted more of you to seek out "Jobillo"!
P - Stunner, a rhapsody in wood. Couldn't wait till Wednesday then
"Rhapsody in wood" indeed! I love these covers.... Just crazytalk in color and pattern, yet reminding me of mahogany (thanks, Barry, for your helpful pictures and description). It has a nice heft to it as well, which might not seem desirable in a knife of this relatively large size but which I was hoping for.
... I was going to try to hold out until next Wednesday, but when I saw Mr Rick's picture? There I went posting.
Yes!! ...great choice in word, Avoidspam. It reminded me of a Rhapsody in Blues, by George Gershwin, which fits
~P's taste in blue too, very classy looking knife!!
Speaking of which....
If it's possible to overdose on an influx of too many overwhelmingly beautiful, well-suited-for-me-me-me knives within a given span of days, I'm definitely at risk.
Golly dog, what a week.
