Love the sawcut handles on your Tip Top, Ron!
Ron, that rusty rail (or whatever the background is) really brings out the fabulous patina on your 73!
Stunning Sowbelly, Ron! :thumbup: May I show your post to my wife as part of my campaign to get one of those knives for Christmas??
These two were in my kitchen all this week.

I'm just catching up on a few pages I've missed this week. Very nice Tim - I really like this one.
A Gimp shield it is and that shield was also used on my Hatch Cutlery knife, which Challenge bought out in 1899. The shield is why I purchased the knife to begin with. The shield on my Hatch is quite thin and I was hoping to use the more substantial Challenge shield on the Hatch, until I saw the possibilities of saving the Challenge. Now - what to do about the Hatch ?![]()
Sporting one of my very favorite old shields, the Schrade Cut. Co. Sleeveboard:
