Doing the work it was meant for adds to the beauty of that Orchard Gem.
Thanks Dean, nice 66 too
You did a great job on that Paul, I once tried to remove the bail on a #68 and made a right mess!
Great to see that distinguished Powderhorn again! :thumbup:
I second that!
That knife looks like a fabulous combination of style and substance, beauty and utility! :thumbup:- GT
Thanks GT! It's my knife of the year so far
I have so many knives I keep meaning to carry, but I am still under the spell of these two![]()
I can see why Jack
Sports and pocket knives, all you need is to add a cold beer to that picture and it's everything a man could want

I got this recent 25 in a trade with a fellow forum member - I had something they really wanted and they had a 25, I'm always game for 25s.
It's nicely done, slightly more soft finished and de-horned than previous runs and nice deep angular jigging that make for that textured finish that I love on jigged bone. It has an odd pull, for a 25, in that it's initial pull is quite standard for the pattern (say about a 6/7) but the half stop to open pull is a mighty 9. I'll do some flushing work on it but there is no grittiness to the pull at all so I don't think it will alter much. very strange. I'm going to carry it and use it a wee bit though because I'm not sold on the eo notch at all and am going to try and overcome my distaste - I'm sure I'm in a minority here as most folks seem to favour them and indeed often mod knives for that purpose
have a good day folks
Paul
