Thank you Pertinux and Will for your wise words and encouragement. I think you're spot on with regard to the frustration of not being able to recreate on screen with what you see in front of you. Hopefully experimentation and practice will help some. And I'm grateful to be able to contribute to a thread that has provided many untold hours of entertainment/pleasure!

This duo

That's a great looking duo! :thumbup: I haven't really been able to appreciate just how small a peanut is until seeing this, they're tiny!

These two pretty much since I got back. They've been working on whatever has come up.

The top knife is a beauty! :thumbup: Just off to google the brand/maker.

Totin' a new arrival today, which arrived from England. I did a little polishing this morning, on this slightly used antique yellow saw-cut bone Charlow, which Paul sold me. I had been trying to find this model for a good while. Thank you Paul. :thumbup:

Thanks. I'm impressed you could make out the stamp: A.W./ Wadsworth/ & Son/ Germany. According to my 2cd ed BLR, part of A. Kastor, NY, importers from Germany and Austria circa 1905-1922.

I want to get my hands on one of these in a bad way

Thanks, Sir!

It´s a great knife, indeed. And pretty special for me in any way. I got it as a gift from my wife some years ago. I use to carry it more or less frequently. They are a discontinued pattern now. But maybe they are back in production soon.

I got this USA made Winchester Large Congress model 4002 (made in 1996) from a guy on eBay who had rescued it from the pitfalls of celluloid gassing. It originally had waterfall celluloid scales on it, but they deteriorated and left a rusty mess behind. He cleaned it up and made some new scales from some stag he found in the Georgia woods. It has super strong springs and rock solid half and full stops. I do not like redundant blades, so I serrated one of the sheepsfoot blades, and reprofiled one of the pen blades into a great whittling blade. I sharpened everything up and relieved the stag a bit with my Dremel to make it easier to open the pen blades.

I figured, since it already arrived to me in non-original shape, why not self-customize to what I really want. It has become my current EDC. It is super strong, and I really do not worry about it.

There was a little face-pulling and squinting involved Thanks for the extra info; they certainly made some good looking knives. Google led me to this thread with a few fantastic EOs of theirs.

That's a fine example of a most excellent knife, congratulations

That certainly is a beauty. I really like what you and the previous owner did to it.

Wow! Is that the same knife!!! You take the most wonderful pictures Primble. I'm glad it arrived safe and sound, and it was much more prompt than I expected
