The more I look at that the more I want one. I have one with a spey blade, but a pen might be handier.

I like the pen blade, sometimes they come in handy for some really fine work.

Much appreciated, Stuart, Matt and Alan! The English Jack should look good, it was done by master smith Don Hanson, III of Sunfish Forge. The gunstock's pen was my work.

Thanks, Stuart.
I do love the red bone. The rust, not so much, although I like rescuing abused knives. On the peanut, I got as much of the rust off as I could without sandpaper. It will never be a showpiece, but it’s a nice knife to use.

Tom, a wonderful image as always and both knives are fine but the equal ender is such a dignified and refined gentleman.

Thanks Dwight! That Primble was old and “well loved” when I bought it, and has accompanied me on many journeys since. Still plenty of life left.

Thanks

315 ! I rarely carry it, and am not sure why. I have no problem using fine knives, but I have a tough time deciding to put that TC to work.

Carrying a pair of mods today, my File & Wire English Jack and stag Buffalo Jack.

Nicely done! :thumbsup:

Duckdog said:
I see what you did there. Well played, r8shell. Very nice work on the covers, too.

Amir Fleschwund said:
Great job! Looks like a perfect fit against the bolsters, which can be quite difficult. And I like the modded blade!

Thank you. The blade was like that when I got it, I assume due to a broken tip. I did put in the nail relief, so I can access the pen blade.

My 2016 EO 85 today. With the new 85's soon to be released there's talk of likes and dislikes of the EO notch. For me the EO is a HUGE plus for ease of use, plus I just really like the look. I do understand it isn't for everyone.

Paul that knife is sweet. Simply perfect. The pattern, color and jigging. Wow! And I know I'm in the minority but that's my favorite main blade. Stunning.
