That Laguiole is gorgeous, Gary. Walnut, guilloché range?A peaceful Sunday to all!
Spent 3 hours raking and hauling leaves this afternoon. Today's knives didn't help me at all, except for allowing me an excuse to take a picture break.

Thank you very much, Gary!!!Pair of prestigious pile sides, JJ!![]()
Those covers do look outstanding and the sunken joints are definitely a bonus!Thanks, John.The blade etching is a bit "over the top" IMHO, but the stag bone is nice, and the knife's shape/structure is what a stockman ought to be with the round bolsters, low-riding blades, sunk joints, and overall smooth profile.

Yes, Vince. Gunstock French Walnut Burl, Guilloché series, XS (9cm). A great little knife. I really like carrying and using it.That Laguiole is gorgeous, Gary. Walnut, guilloché range?
Thanks. Thought it might be the slimline trapper. I have not encountered the back pocket.RLB0414 it is the Case Backpocket, don't know the model no.
It is the Carhart version which originally had textured g10 covers. I didnt care for those so I changed them to rosewood.
Great looking knives and photo Gary . I picked my leaves up yesterday and today I am just sitting around inside with these 2 in my pockets .A peaceful Sunday to all!

Thank you for the kind words on the Arno Bernards . I figure that I am 2/3 done with our leaves this year . We have a 1 acre lot with a fair number of Hickory and Oak on it . I do virtually ZERO raking now though . Blow them and pick up with John Deere X-500 and collector system . I enjoy seeing pictures of your wild turkeys . We have 5 to 7 that come around most days here . Be well my friend .Thanks, Harry. I'm afraid it's only round one with our leaves!
Your Arno Bernard knives are wonderful. I gifted my oldest son one a few years back. Very fine knives indeed.
