Thanks Gary! The Mink does indeed have tip bolsters!Plaudits to Stuart for his generosity!
That stag Mink is quite a knife, Ron. It challenges my meager knife classification skills, though. Is it a shadow pattern, or would you say it has the tiniest of tip bolsters??
Thanks, Jack.
With its massive pearl covers, filework, and jimping, it's the Baron of Bling, the Epitome of Excess, the King of Kitsch! It's so cool!!!

A fine pairing for you, pal ! Lookers for sure![]()
I’ve had limited carry choices in my rotation for the last couple of weeks. I’ve been visiting my daughter in DC. I am missing some of my normal EDC knives but, with these two I’ve managed to get by!

Thank you for the kind words, JJ. Great image of your TL29s. The warmth and character of the walnut is mesmerizing.
So sorry about your son, its a good thing dogs can be so comforting.
I have invested myself into a pup since our kids are gone and we have no grandkids and I'm enjoying having a friend that sticks by me all the time er at least when my wife isnt around. HahaView attachment 1219500 View attachment 1219501
