Fantastic carries, all!
Ever notice that, even though the scales on the Rodgers Wostenholm gunboat were purportedly green jigged bone, you can almost never tell? I have 3 examples of this knife, one I recently put into my carry rotation, and only the lowest serial number is perceptibly "greenish". I wonder if that's a function of age or just the dyeing process used to make this NKCA club knife. It's still a pleasure to carry and cut with, just a curiosity.
Today's trio of traditionals...

I don't expect this knife to resonate much in here, but I'm kinda proud of it. It's one of the few items belonging to my grandpa that I received after his passing; I just recently rediscovered it after almost 15 years. I polished the shield and bolsters, cleaned the MOP and gave the blades a little spit shine and sharpening as well. I maintained a portion of the patina but healed it of it's scratches. It's been in my watch pocket since.

Imperial right? Looks great. I have a hobby of putting new scales on these. It's awesome you were able to locate it!
I may be picking your brain for some advice, Jeff. I have no fewer than three Imperials inbound including a pretty clean fisherman I was thinking of jazzing up some.![]()
