Thank you Jack, of course you know how much I love your Rosewood Barlow.
Tom, The sheath was made by Paul Long for another knife of mine. It just so happens to work wonderfully with this Eldon Talley City Knife also.
It was well worth it even though you had to give up some nice ones.View attachment 1157923 View attachment 1157926 View attachment 1157927 View attachment 1157925 View attachment 1157924
Best made knife I have owned. Like a lot of others on the Porch, I am a sucker for a Sowbelly. I have been looking for my ideal version which, to me, has to be jigged bone with a traditional corset shield. How could I pass this one up? Although I had to sell half a dozen factory knives to pay for it! Good thing my wife thinks all knives are created equal and sell for about 100 bucks a pop! I hope she never figures out the reality.
Congratulations you’ve reached the point of insanityView attachment 1158044 View attachment 1158043
Thank youGevonovich @Chui and @Peregrin for your compliments and, much more, for your imparting your knowledge.
Gev, Paul, and Gary, in a very real way, the three of you, along with other knowledgeable members of the Porch, have helped me to reach this place in my collecting. I have learned so much from reading your posts and viewing photographs of your amazing knives over the years. This hobby truly is a process. Like horseback riding or martial arts; you never finish learning. It is a life long journey. And finally, do you mind if I send you a bill for causing me to spend so much money?
Cool pic.Hello everyone. I haven't been on here in such a long time. You all know how life gets sometimes.
Work is always consuming but it sure helps when you got a trustworthy knife in your pocket.
