Trying to go with more natural materials lately, but some of the synthetics sure know how to compete

Harry...I love the little Norfolk for carrying in the office. I've thought about buying a blue camel bone variant as well!

Kris...you have some of the nicest knives I've seen.

Phil, your TC looks well loved yet it still has many years ahead!

David....my next Davison may have to be a two blade...I love yours!

Paul, I like it without the bail but I like the tortoise anyway. Simply awesome!

Joe, that Menefee is looking real good after getting a makeover!

 

[J_Curd]

Jake I appreciate the kind words. I'll take better photos outside of "evening of Old Grand Dad 114" hours.

Cask/Barrel strength is my other love (aside from my wonderful girl, that is).

Custom full tang puukko style knife. I would post a pic but my iPad is 'special'. But the handle is oval shaped and I made a leather neck carry sheath for it that I am quite proud of

You clearly have excellent taste.

Thanks for the link Jack, I couldn't figure out how I missed this thread till I saw the date, it was when my SIL was in the hospital with cancer, I was absent a lot from the forums the first 4 months of 2015.

It's good to have you back Ted, I hope all's well now :thumbup:

They look great Harry :thumbup:

Nice Phil :thumbup:

That looks good :thumbup:

Only a few days left with Earl now, but he won't me leave the house without him

Back to this one.

These days, it's a New Day spey.

That is really nice Jake. Never had a Northwoods yet , you may become an enabler.

Harry

Hi Harry, here are my two Northwoods , the Norfolk is made by GEC and the Peanut by Queen, whats in a name ?

Wowzie! That's how the knife should have been done, and I actually thought of that when I had mine. I loved the caramel toffee bone but the grip on the knife was just pain.

Going "bailless" today:thumbup:

I think the bails will be coming off my Sunbrite & Chestnut also

I don't know how these are, but while I like a bail on some patterns, I don't like a loose one. I pick up a lot of old knives, and I would say that at least 95% of the ones I pick up with loose bails, have a ding out of the edge just where you'd expect it

That's exactly what I'm wanting to avoid on my two.

At least these are easily removeable, and you still have a nice lanyard tube, as well as the option of replacing the bail

You're right A.L. As soon as I received the knife, I said to myself, the Wharncliffe blade needs to go. It ruined the whole aesthetics of the knife. Not to mention comfort. I sent it off to our friend Glennbad for rework and he did a great job of preserving the beautiful peach seed jig bone. :thumbup: now I can use it in comfort.

 

[Half/Stop]

I am starting out with this #73 this morning, hope everyone has a great Friday

 

[clutchcarter]

Mark, I think it looks better with the bail actually but feels better without. When working I close the knife against my pants leg and just about got the blade to close on the bail a couple of times....I'll experiment a few days and may go back?

This has happened to me as well. I hate things that get in my way and a bail seems to qualify as "in the way" most of the time, but I'm going to give at a go and might even attach a lanyard! I have a feeling this experiment won't last very long.

I really need to work on the virtue of patience, but I have no time for that.

(EDIT!! - I just noticed this is my 2,000th post! Look out for a GAW coming soon!)

Congrats on the post count Mark :thumbup:
