That's the G10 scales, right? I really like those.I see CK had these on easy reserve, for this December.
Thanks. It's Carbon Fiber. There's white carbon fiber this time as well as the black you see on mine. I like this knife with the modern materials over the natural.

Recycling a photo for watch thread again... no I don't usually wear my watch that way but the other way with a knife on the back of your hand looks even stupider... lol.
Worked in the shop today, still trying to get the stupid door on the 33 to line up. Not ready to drop the Dunlap on concrete yet so the warren got duty for awhile.

Thank you for the Likes folks!
Some natural brownish stags for the weekend with my son's brown guinea pig.
Sorry for the focus, difficult to make it right.

Playing catchup again, my apologies.
All very fine knives. However, my eye is drawn to the second one from the top. I know nothing about it, other than that it is gorgeous.
Randy and Jack, you guys are going to make a believer out of me. The stag you both are rocking is exceptional.
I love that Harness Jack, Bob. Aside from the difference in blade configurations, I'm hoping the upcoming Churchills come out just as fine, particularly the ebony.
I am sporting a new to me blade today, paired with my stag 66. I scooped up a used Otter Messer Anchor Jack, not knowing how huge it was going to be... Apparently they come in two sizes and I got the larger one. This one looks like it was carried a bit, the wood feels worn smooth, but the blade appears untouched. It has got to be the most comfortable knife of this size that I've held in quite some time, an absolute delight. The wood grain itself is rather unique as well, though you can't tell from the picture.
Four nationalities.

I carried two A.Wright Lambsfoot knives in Sambar today. Even with the size difference, and the different frames, that may seem a strange choice...
But I wanted to get a few pics!

Thanks Alan!
Great looking pair Harry!
Looking forward to this looooong weekend! Hope everyone has a good holiday! Only one knife along for the weekend. This Ebony 79 Workhorse should handle anything I'll encounter this weekend!

Hope you'll enjoy it despite it's unexpected size Mark

I'm really digging that pony jack! Looks like a 66 that went to the chiropractor.

#47 Hay'n Helper and Case/Tony Bose teardrop in ebony.
I'd kept my Hay'n Helper rather patina free for quite a while, but while I was in Oregon I used it to cut the rind(?) off of a green walnut so a little one (cousin's daughter) how they look on the inside. Instant patina at the edge, so I just rubbed the juice all over the blade to make it even. I like the way it turned out.
As for the teardrop jack, it took me a long time to warm up to it. Honestly, I don't know why I bought it in the first place - just on a whim I guess. I wasn't a big fan of the teardrop shape, and the blade had more wobble than I'd want to accept on a knife with Tony's name on it.
After a while though, I started to appreciate the elegance of the pattern. the slim profile, and I love the tribal spear blade. The ebony on this example is stellar too. Very dark but with some streaks of brown when seen in the right light. As for the blade wobble, a few whacks with a rubber mallet fixed that, and now it's as tight as I can expect from any traditional. Now I've got my eyes on a bonestag wharncliffe/pen teardrop in CV.
