Thanks, Maxx. Don sure knows how to meld beautiful stag with forged steel! :thumbup:

(And the images still don't do it justice.)

Enabler.
I really need one of those. Beautiful. I had the hardest time deciding between that and the mountain man just wednesday night... the MM won out that time.

I hear you. I have been lusting after a Mountain Man for a while now...Hmmmm maybe this weekend.

Whoa Elliot, A Hanson Trapper in incredibly lustrous stag crafted up old style leaving those covers as they should be right to the bolster. :thumbup: That is a perfect example of Don's work. Well executed in every respect. :thumbup:

Pocketed today.. Here is one that was given to me by one very kind blade-brother in here all the way from New Zealand and landed a couple of days ago..

I couldn't be more tickled with this pattern, an old school style Fiddle Back Jack built by Queen for Blue Grass Cutlery with the Winchester stamps back in 1987.

Thanks pard. If you could see this old camera you would LOL, the battery is held inside by two rubber bands.. But hey, it still works OK.

You don't often see many makers using good reliable W-2 either.

Best,

Quite True, Ed. I am a very Lucky old dog!.

This traditional community is made up of the finniest group of good natured folks on the world wide web today, bar none.. This knife was gifted to me by a fellow member that found out I was on the hunt for this particular slipjiont and took the good time, trouble and expense to hunt her down and and get her to me on the sly.

This has happened to me so often in here over the years, that I shouldn't be surprised and amazed of the likes of such uncommon and selfless caliber of character! But, it never ceases to amaze me of what fine company we are in here in the Traditional forum. :thumbup:

This time of year I like to carry my Irish-made Imperial. :thumbup:

 

[TLARbb]

John G., that Imperial is sweet.

Sunnyd, that's a nice Winchester; I've got one of them too. I sure like mine.

Elliott, super fine knife and named after you no less!!! :thumbup:

I'm carrying the Queen economy copperhead today:
