Nice blades! Which pattern is the Queen? And are the covers buffalo horn?
Hi choombak - that is the #99, and yes they are buffalo horn covers. I think the product description listed them as feathered buffalo horn.

RDaneel- Where can I get one of those trees?
Machina- That modified spey blade looks great. I have been obsessed with those 73s lately, but my knife fund is pretty much bone dry at the moment.
It has been a chore keeping this thing rust free today with this scorcher we've had. 95° plus jeens equals one sweaty knife.

Thank you all for the kind words on the #22 I posted yesterday, it's a handsome knife to be sure.
It's smaller than I imagined but I do really like it. It will make for a nice office carry.
Today I have something I had been hunting for for a while. An SAK Cadet II... Even though it predates the Cadet it is referred to as the Cadet II. It has a small clip secondary blade rather than the file. The action was kind of gummy and there was a little rust in a couple spots, but a mineral oil bath and some cleanup has the blades walkin' and talkin' like they should.

Hope you have a good visit, Jack! Those 2 knives look very appropriate for a museum visit. :thumbup:Actually, are you able to carry your knives in the museum, or do you have to check them at the door??
Thanks pal, so far here there's only minimal security in the museums. They even sell knives in the museum I visited today :thumbup:
Cool pics Pete :thumbup:
Nice 72 Ron, but who can resist a Lambsfoot?!
And that's a nice one :thumbup:Firm was established by William Robert Humphreys, originally of County Cavan, N.Ireland. By 1879 he was employing around 30 men. Humphreys' became a limited company - W.R.Humphreys & Company Ltd - in 1904. W.R.Humphries was liquidated in 1933, but by 1948, it was again being listed in trade directories. In the 1960's, the company moved to Portland Works, brief home, many years later, of Jack Black Knives (
). The company was last listed in 1970.I think that's 3 days in a row, Stephen! Do I sense an attachment
The Lambsfoot is the pattern of the hour my friend
:thumbup:Found this one in the knife plant this morning and decided to carry it.
What a great find!

You mean you don't have magic knife trees down in Georgia? Not only that, but the knives don't rust either!

Jigged Copper!! As a copper fan that may be the grail of copper work! Do you know if it has been oxidized? Will it hold a patina?
Beautiful knife

I didn't realize it until I stopped to take the picture, but apparently it's a "pretty knife day" for me, too (though not on the level of so many others that have been shared!!).

PS. Ignore the stray hair, dust, or whatever that ALWAYS seems to end up in my pictures. :grumpy:

Wow, that's just awesome! Bet it'll develop a great patina.
I have this Cocobolo 73 in my pocket that I just received from Brett yesterday. I spent last night sharpening it up and getting things flush on the frame. I also turned the spey into a bit of a drop point while I was at my bench. This is a really nice knife and I had a great time playing with it and getting to know it. The wood is excellent on this one and the stamped blade is just great! I put a satin finish on the bolsters and backsprings but left the patina and pepper spots on the blade. This knife has been used by previous owners and I really like the look its acquired. For a large knife with steel liners and bolsters it carries exceptionally well! The clip blade is nice and easy to get out (about a 4 or 5) while the spey/drop point is a nice firm 7. I never had a knife with different springs like this and I REALLY like the idea. One blade for quick access and the harder to reach and harder to open blade for longer jobs that may require more lock strength.
Im very happy with it!
I like what you did with the spey, and love the stamped blade.
Mark that cocobolo is gorgeous! That edge looks incredible as well! :thumbup:
Congrats
Carrying mine as well today.
Very cool trio! Got everything covered.
Made some stir fry with leftover ingredients, used my brand new Case Moose:
It was alright haha
