I'm carrying my "Coal Miners". As you can see from my avatar I've spent time underground.
When rma100 had his 47 SFO run, I tried to convince him to call it the "coal miner". It was black, had a hounds tooth shield that reminded me of a continuous miner bit, and was refined in a modest way. Bob-it is a coal miner's "goin to church" knife.
When I saw a new maker's ability to put artwork onto the frame of a friction folder, I thought this could be a tribute to the four generations before me, those I've worked with, and those that have passed. He nailed it.
These are my "Coal Miners".
