It's bull horn, I like its tactile nature and translucent qualities! This one winked at me from a shop window, since a bad experience with a Joker (almost a 'how many things can we get wrong!' kind of knife!) I had been steering clear. This one more than makes up for it
A nice knife indeed Sam :thumbup: If you don't mind me asking, what was wrong with the other - or maybe what was right?
, that might be easier. It opened and closed (just!). The wood covers were, uneven, poorly finished and there were gaps between them and the liners. The blade had uneven grinds and was so off center it rubbed one of the liners. Finally, the back spring was very proud when the knife was closed and not much better in half and open positions!!
I'm going over to Sheffield tomorrow to have a look at some Arthur Wright's! 
Oooh-- noice. What's the handle material? I think I may like it even better than the wood I've seen on others' Jokers.

Nice pairing with the Scout knife.
Jack - nice choice for today. It's a great pattern, especially with the spearpoint, and those jigged scales are just terrific.
Trollbane - interesting and attratctive H&R trapper. I really like the blade designs and nail nick positioning.
Andi - hope you feel better soon.
arizonaranchman - I like the matching pair! :thumbup:
scrteened porch - great combination. You look to have all your bases covered today.
Bloefield - of all the various versions, I think blue is my favorite color on the Sodbuster Jr.
Whetstone39 - or perhaps yellow is my favorite Sodbuster Jr. color...
Bill - very elegant looking Queen City teardrop. I can't make out the tang stamp on the bottom knife? It's also very attractive though.
Pete - wow! That's a lot of snow. Hopefully you won't run out of gasoline, propane or Jameson.
Smithhammer - lovely knife. I can see why it would grow on you.
Gev - terrific photo today - simple but elegant. And :thumbup: for the Dick Proenneke reference.
AR RiverValley - beautiful heirloom!
combatjiujitsu - great looking SBJ. I'm sure it was up to the task.
Erik - the EO looks fantastic! You're more than welcome; and I'm happy that it's brings you so much joy!
clutchcarter - very nice looking forum knife.
r8shell - great work on that old Kutmaster!
rbeggs - very capable looking Bull Buster. I'm guessing it could handle anything you could throw at it.
Samon - simple and sharp make for a great combination.
TX_planes - I've got a Bullnose in canvas micarta, but hadn't seen a Crownlifter in that handle material. Very attractive!
GronK - lovely! I have one with similar scales but a wharncliffe blade - think I like yours better with the spear. How's the pull on yours? Mine's a bit of a bear trap.
David - very handsome 85 EO.
Derek - I agree with Paul, that's a wonderful looking 73.
Sonnemann - very cool photo. The color match is uncanny.
I carried my Christmas present from my wife today.
Bill - very elegant looking Queen City teardrop. I can't make out the tang stamp on the bottom knife? It's also very attractive though.

Due to the graciousness of a fellow member Stephen (old & in the way), one of my all time favorite knives is back in my pocket today. I could not be happier.
