Absolutely beautiful image, Erik! I've been staring at it for longer than I should admit... it's one of those knife pictures that necessitates an immediate purchase of said knife. :D

Thank you Derek, it's hard to take a bad picture of this knife. This one turned out pretty good except for the reflection of my ugly mug in the bolster. :rolleyes:
 
Not the most expensive knife i own but hands down my favorite! This beauty was given to me as a kid by my grandfather

A gifted Todd Davidson folder. I am in love. I am very fortunate for having this knife. The fit and finish is amazing.
 
For the last few days I've been carrying (instead of my EDC Victorinox Cadet) a Schlieper Eye Brand copperhead. It's an older one, early 80's or so, a gift from a brother in E. Tennessee. The blades (a clip point and a straightback) appear to have never been used. I took care of a small amount of oxidization/discoloration on the blades and they are factory sharp and shine like new. That hammer forged steel gleams like nothing else.

The fit/finish is not perfect but you know you're holding a handmade gem.

I'm told that in Sevierville, TN, where my buddy grew up, that these knives were coveted, traded, paid off debts, passed on to kin.

I'm proud to carry this and I send big cheers to the good people of E Tennessee.

Cheers!

I'm still a little stunned at Paul admitting he hasn't cared for the #15. And sold his only TC Barlow! A single sheepfoot! This is almost like saying you don't care for GEC knives. The next thing you know, Paul will admit that he puts a pocket clip on his WLST! Oh, well. More 15s for me!

Well - Primble needed the TC for his collection and I'm not a fan of single blades anyway really. I also discovered that I'm not a fan of the parallel edges of the 15 spear, I prefer a more swollen end like on the 85 or the 25. Part of the problem for me I think is that the 15 took off so quickly - never been a pop music kind of guy if you follow me.

Oh and by the way, a pocket clip on a WLST?!?!?! Shame on you for such blasphemous talk! Go outside and turn around three times to the left and spit over your right shoulder! Then pray for forgiveness from the sharpness gods.

;)
 
Jeff - The is beautiful knife sir. :thumbup:

That color is incredible!!! What's the closed length on her?
 
The debris on the blade did not show up except in the HD photo, but very nice knife! I'm impressed! Had it with me today on the way to the store.
