Sweet HH, Jack.

Harvey, I really like your choice today and swear that I had already picked mine out before I saw your beauty. After my brass barehead swell end buddy of yesterday, I chose this Miller Bros. barehead swell end in steel today. It is linerless and the covers/bolsters are one piece. 1872-1926. It is another one that @Half/Stop helped me uncover in some boxes. Sharing my pockets is a Schatt & Morgan jack with a real clip(ped) main. 1902-1928.

I took the advice not to clean the patina and pitting off the old seaman's knife I bought from Estonia. I just cleaned it with soap and toothbrush, flushed it and then dried it with hairdryer. Plenty of oil, wipe off the excess and sharpen. I have it in my pocket now. The mechanism actually has snap left, now that I did the operation. The surface between tang and spring has been worn, so there is some play but this is an old knife, like I'm getting old with some patina and play here and there :D. To me it has character and the knife cuts well.

The puukko by Juha Perttula is interesting. It breaks the conventions of Finnish puukko's by having a finger quard and a sheath with snap tab. Very comfortable in hand, the handle is actually so long that I could shorten it a bit. The edge on this knife is something to behold. I don't know how to describe in any other way than scary. Easily one the sharpest I have ever had as new. The maker knows what he is doing, I have to get a piece of wood and try whittling.
