I've only been able to find the #15 single sheepsfoot in nifebrite. If you find them in any other covers, don't keep the info to yourself ya? ;)

I have not found them anywhere in any covers other than nifebright. I have been sourcing them from other individuals, but if I discover a honey-hole I will spread the wealth.

Ha! Ha! Good luck. Maybe we'll both get lucky.
Before cleanup.

Wow! That was fast. Single sheepsfoot #15 EO Scout with Ebony covers -if ever you're tired of it, I'll be waiting :)

I will let you know if I get tired of it, but I doubt that will happen. This was the knife that drew me into the fold of wanting to learn more about GEC. I did have a slight misconception about the overall scale (thought it would be a slight bit bigger), but it will fit perfectly where I normally carry the slippies.

After polishing the blade, bolsters, spine and liners as well as a good coating of oil on the moving parts it is now mine to personalize with my own marks, scratches and patina.

Looks like a whole new knife!

Glad it made it to you okay. Like you said time for you to make some of your own marks on it

I am debating about polishing the ebony, but I am not familiar with this practice so I will investigate further. Thanks for the compliment
 
Thanks for the kind replie, Primble. The one you are choosing today also seems to be a wonderful all-purpose knife. Thanks for sharing.
