Stacking the deck, eh, Ron? That's a potent and pretty pair.

Thanks buddy!

For my totin' on Twosday, I've got binary barlows.

There is just something about old sawcut!!! A nice pair Stuart!

 

[RDaneel]

I got my Ebony gunstock jack yesterday and am totin' it today. It really is a handsome knife.

 

[Atiger]

Old celluloid Winchester barlow...

 

[johnny twoshoes]

My first slip joint and GEC.
Bought it a couple of years ago, but have never really used it because of the stiff spring.
It gave in at last after several attempts of relaxing the spring.
Happy to be able to use it now
What a great practical knife!

Is that the Osage orange wood?
The #73L is an awesome carry and very handy.

Back with the Cover

That is a clean and pleasing design. The red liner between bolster and cover adds a bit of spice.

Thanks, Ron.

Naturally, though a man will have his favorites. Your comment about speys sounds like a challenge a knifemaker should take up to prove you wrong. I like to think about knife shapes in terms of the whole knife--if the handle lines complement the blade shape, then you have something more special than just a generic handle shape with a blade attached to it.

Think maybe he's referring to a spey blades intended function!

Clamshell teardrop.

They make a great couple Jack! I’ve been noticing that your new Sambar has the blade etch. I was wandering if this designates this knife as a first? I know it definitely appears first quality in every way!!

Thanks Ron Erm...I'm not sure Ron! It was one of five Wright's made for me

Suddenly, I feel like scrapping other plans and going fishing.

Great before and after!

As usual, I am enjoying seeing everyone’s knives. Even though I will never own most of these, I can experience them right here.
Case & SW today ~

Going fishing is always a great plan! Nice pairing there

Nice pair, Jack. I saw your post around 9:30 am this morning, which appears to be the same time of day over your way that you posted. Seeing that pint in your picture changed all of my breakfast plans.

LOL! Thanks Stuart, that pic was taken a couple of days ago. Honest! :thumbsp

Maybe. But, as a hillbilly (albeit misplaced), I bet you have some experience with mountain oysters.
