Managed to round the edge while stropping tired last night, so retouched it this morning and in the pocket went. It's about to go on kitchen duty, Sunday dinner to prep and all that jazz.
 
Put a nice edge on the Queen Gunstock yesterday using a DMT aligner. Some debris was under the clamp, so I'll need to polish it out. It still had a nice edge, so it's been in my pocket since.

Thanks for your comments burnside and clutchcarter.
I was on the lookout for one of these 2011 forum knives for quite a while, missed a few myself they tend to go quick. I think the 2011 forum knife is my favorite of them all so far.
Here is another picture for you.

6318HE, or 087HE? Either way, nice old knife.

I had to check the pattern descriptions and it is a 6318 for sure. It measures 3.5". What does the "HE" signify?

Very nice, Owen! Just my style!

Thanks a lot. I am so happy with it. The main was pretty wiggly but I sorted that out. The tip of the sheepsfoot has been rounded so that it almost resembles a spey.

I actually saw this knife in an antique store in the toney part of town about a month ago and grabbed a Schrade Walden splitback whittler instead. But this one kept calling me. The seller quizzed me about why I wanted it - like a whole battery of questions. It was weird.

So jealous. I keep checking the for sale section and I never see em in time. They are extremely sought after. Great looking piece.
 
Picked up this Boy's Knife several days ago. Really enjoying it. Today it is paired with the Pemberton
