Very nice wood Ron ! :thumbup::thumbup:

Carried this one today because tomorrow it is being sent to my brother George in Lamb , Indiana. I still have another one just like it and I owe him a good knife.

Great knife for a gift Harry. :thumbup::thumbup:

Well, I hate that I missed it the first go round, but am happy to see the photos of it today. Very nice example. :thumbup:

Thank you again OW. :thumbup:

Primble
I carry the Case more often then I post pictures of it. It was my only GAW win and from Kris. Of course he has great taste in Damascus. Pete sent me a sheath for it as a gift. I treasure them both.

It deserves to be carried - fantastic knife !!! :thumbup::thumbup:

[A.L.]

Thanks guys!!

Good looking Mercartor, and in brass no less for a patina
Now..is that a corgi I spy :O

I might be wrong, but it seems like the handles have coating of some sort.. it sure feels/looks like it. I did not see any kind of discoloration. And yea, you were right about the Corgi.

I toted my Tuna Valley Railsplitter:

I love this knife!

i have always loved the Tuna Valley knives for their "custom" features. Qualities that stand out to me are the slanted bolster and the shape of the blades, to name a few. I hope to watch this one develop a nice earned patina

 

[Dadpool]

I always have trouble capturing the warmth of my Dog's Head Barlow, but you nailed this one. Beautiful knife!

I hope you'll share it again down the road, once that copper's had a chance to develop a patina.

Thanks, paulhilborn and Gevonovich!

With 154CM blades I don't expect a patina, but I can guarantee some good pocket and use wear -- it's been my constant companion since it arrived!

Thank you Primble and Dadpool. The dog head pinch lock back is a joy to carry and use

Going to carry this fantastic old Schrade-Walden 294 that I was gifted with here on Blade Traditional's in a GAW. OH

 

[Markesharp]

Ryan - Nice 73's my friend :thumbup:

OH - Great looking Schrade trapper

Carrying the "original" 85 or what GEC based their pattern on.

NYKC Hammer brand pre 1931 which I acquired from my buddy Paul Hilborn

Also the O.O. 73 that I just purchased

GREAT looking knives Mark! That's a heck of a trio, I bet theres nothing they can't do . How are you liking your fixed blade that you finished?

Thanks Ryan. Yes, I really like the big fixed blade. It took an hour to get a razor sharp edge on the 01 steel. That knife will cut through anything I use it on with ease and it is very well balanced and comfortable.

Here is a view from the top

Mark, that old NYK is awesome and the 73 OO looks very natural in between to nice fixed blades. :thumbup:
