I LIKE the bone on that knife:thumbup: I have the Horticulturalist's knife from the same series, very nice colour to the handles .Comes with a useful Sheep's foot blade, but regrettably,blade-wobble as well.....
 
My recent favorites. Really like the wharncliff pattern. The orange trapper is prooving to be a nice EDC. I like the Case serpantine alot and just ordered a G-10 version in SS. Should make a nice one in the rotation. :) The Buck is an older one I picked up about 6 years ago. Very sharp edge and a personal favorite of mine. Don't need to say much about the swayback...these are sweet. I have always liked slipjoints and really use them more than my lockblades.

CASE Wharncliffe Mini Trapper is a useful and excellent Jack. I have 3 of them, all well sorted BUT I just wish CASE would put some more Old School scales on this knife,such as Stag, Amber Bone,Chestnut or even G10 in black! As it is the 3 I have are lurid to say the least....There's this green one in a kind of pond algae colour...red which is pinky bright tart's lipstick and a recent smooth bone dubbed Emerald. Emerald as in Irish flag? Oh no, sort of camp jade hue. Not appealing. I even hear they've started offering the Small Texas Jack in some vile fluorescent lime green!! Again, pocket worn redbone,Chestnut,Yellow or Black G10 would do a lot for this fine pattern,both for hoarder/collectors and users.

Yep. Thanks! I like it very much. The jigging reminds me of slicing some wood and finding holes bored by beatles. Really cool!

I just got an XVIII series S&M wharncliff whittler
I really like the bone as well.
Your photo begins to show the color difference between the dark brown jigging and the lighter almost reddish brown bone.

S&M do their bone and jigging very well!

That Horticulturalist is nice with a large clip and a sheepsfoot, and the bottom bolster!
Sorry about the wobble!

It is very frustrating being across the seas!

It is such a hassle to send stuff back for a simple fixing like blade wobble.
Such a hassle that I only send stuff back for fixing if it is more than unacceptable.
 
I've got a new Schrade "Uncle Henry" Gambler in my pocket that I just picked up the other day.

The fit and finish are not quite up to the similar Case knife (not to mention the synthetic "stag" scales), but I find the pen blade and scissors a very useful pattern for EDC in the office.
 
Aaarghhh! MORE of that beetle chewed bone:D

I've got one flying across the Atlantic to me in Scandinavia, in this case the English Jack. I don't usually favour large pocket-knives but fancied a change.Can't wait to see that bone, beetle bores and all:thumbup:
 
Just carried two today. My SAK Explorer which I still have not photographed. And my Case Canoe with natural bone and red shield.

Yes more bug eaten bone.

S&M XVIII series Horticulturalist

With the long bolster it is like a long thin Barlow.
It is very similar to a Doctor, but without the flat bolster

I'm carrying a new Queen doctor's knife which came today. Unusual for Queen, it was very sharp right out of the box.
