A 1940-1968 red bone Big Cigar Jack John Primble HDW. & MFG. Co. knife, sent to me as a gift by Gevonovich.

and a 1890-1940 Cocobola Wood handled India Steel Works John Primble Hawkbill Pruner.

Thank you Gevo, my friend. :thumbup:;):)
 
Was that 25 re-handled Scott? I like it and I haven't seen that double bomb shield on a GEC knife.

Thanks,
Mark
 
Those are gorgeous Primble! That cocobola looks almost like ebony, love how it darkens with time.
 
Looks like a Bulldog Brand made by GEC, Mark. They have nice matchstrike pulls, too.

Hey Primble, you gonna take apart some old knives with those punches??

Mark,
philllll & jrtodd46 is on top of this!!! It is a GEC made Bulldog Branded #25. Older Pic Showing the Blade Etch:
 
"Beautiful work, it makes such a wonderful handle material"

Sam

Thanks Sam
It's a wonderful material to work with, it takes a lot of time preping the bark but it's worth the time for the feel of the handle.

Best regards

Robin
 
In hand shot eh Jack?:D

Yeah, we all have 5 fingers up here due to Agent Orange and the Northern Lights;)

Maybe you do need a trip to the eye-doctor or have you been on that 8% IPA again??? :D:D:D

Sean, every time I see this one, I get a hint of sweat on my brow as I ponder....should I?

Today it's the #85.

Yes, you should. This was my first modern traditional and it's gotten me hooked. With the new #77s coming out, I'm trying to decide what to let go and this one almost made it to the block, but I like it too much. It's a fantastic knife.

That said, I have the same feelings every time I see one of those #85s. I've got a few things going up for sale (trying to not me knives) so I can fund the 77 Barlow.
