Whatcha got on order? (Traditional Knives Only)

Evan Nicolaides has been busy the last few years, making astounding knives, and winning astounding awards!!! So I was very surprised when he contacted me about - "what is my favorite handle material"?? - !!!
I had asked him to make a version of a curved Barlow, based on a Russell!! This could easily be 5 years ago??!! Well he hasn't forgotten!! I'm on the edge of my (rocking Chair) seat!!!Curved Russell B.jpgCurved Russell C.jpg

Beautiful design Charlie. The lines flow so nicely. 😍
Good things do take time. 👍🏻

Recuerdo de Oaxaca is apparently an expensive mezcal, not a knife-maker. The other side says ""don't forget me" in Spanish.
7" blade.

First thing I'll do is give it a good swish in dirty kerosene just in case the woodworm is still active. Then patch the horn with some colored epoxy.

Bought today (08-29-24)
Western 062 Folding Hunter with original sheath. (seller's photo)

Has "Steve" engraved on a bolster and the shield. Since that is my name, not a big deal ... if anything, a "free" bonus.
If nothing else, it lowered the price?
I should have it on my belt after Memorial Day.

I've been wanting a 2 blade slipjoint folding hunter with 1095 blades for a while now.
Both my offshore Old Timer and Marbles of the pattern have stainless blades.

I was thinking I should have gotten this instead, but it's too late for that. Got it in addition.

Ahti Korpi. I went with the carbon instead of a similar one in stainless (which is too hard to spell), because the carbons are drawn a couple of points harder.

Pre 1977 (no date code) Western 742 Stockman (1 of sellers photos)

It should pair well with the Western 062 Folding Hunter I bought last month (see post 8431, above) and my 4 line Camillus 33 EO Jack. 😁👍

I should have it in hand in next week or so. 🤞
