Interesting lockback you show there, thanks. Can you give some more details please?

Oddly enough, I was carrying a brass bolstered Barlow in stag from Trevor Ablett, England today. Didn't much like this at first, strange characteristic of being a devil to open but not much snap. Recently, I've taken to it as I've at last got a howling edge on it and the frequent oiling has mellowed up the opening a good deal.Flush on open and no gaps so it's a credible knife:thumbup:

model #628 from 1993.

bdt0307 - I have been searching for the Almar series with the beautiful ivory micarta and would love to have an Eagle. Your friend gave you an outstanding knife.

edited to add...I would estimate it much closer to 30 years old. Bought the single Ivory micarta folding skinner I have back when I was 16 and that was 32 years ago.

20 or 30 years old, it is still the oldest knife in my collection. It is very nice, my friend did say the he lost about a 1/32" off the tip but had it reground to a point by the same gentleman that I use today.
This weekend I got tired of the knife falling flat in my back pocket, so I put a brown/black lanyard on it.
 
Freshly Edge Pro'ed GEC Dogleg again today. The 1095 takes an amazing edge that will split hairs once the reprofile was done.
 
I still don't understand... Do you mean laminated wood? Micarta is typically made of layers of cloth or paper, impregnated with a polymer resin. I've never heard of Micarta made from wood... Can anyone more informed clear it up?
 
Since I'm not home to carry it Swmbo decided that she gets to.

This is the Henckels stockman that I recieved in Wintermute's recent giveaway. The spots are rain drops which she promptly wiped off then oiled it and put it in her pocket.

yes, It's laminated wood ,wood from carpenter's jack plane. Like micarta with layers of cloths but with laminated wood.
 
Very fair bone on that Henckels.

Today GEC Half Congress in stainless with Honey jigged bone. Sent on 22 Dec but only just arrived! Must've swum over the Atlantic.....
 
I ended up with two of these G-10 Seahorses, so I might as well get some use out of one of 'em. I love the ergos and the blade selection on these things.

Very nice. I love the design of the Seahorse and for some reason like orange g-10.
Can't beat that one.
