This is a BEAUTIFUL prototype from my buddy Justin Lundquist. It features a 26c3 (Spicy White) steel with a smoky hamon at 64.5 hrc. Chisel grind with an asymmetrical swedge. Black G10, Ivory Linen, and Dragontail Richlite frame handle, with carbon fiber and ivory linen pins, and a three part hidden ivory linen backspacer. This knife is a 16 piece construction and is completely out of this world!

I love it. He was flying completely by the seat of his pants when he made it. No CAD designing or anything. All he knew he wanted was a blade based on a spey. 😍
 
Good to have one of these back again

Nice new addition Jack :thumbsup: These are an underrated pattern in my view and better than the CASE Slimline or GEC 48. D2 and nice jigging, now you need to keep an eye out for the White Carved Stag Bone version 😍

thats a nice one!!! its gonna go 48 big clip ((then muskrat, they win for half stops )), then queen 11 then csc half moon trapper which were my first love. i just wish they had a bit more stouter pull. last is of course the case slimline of which ive had a few in the past. case never gets the blade dimensions right to me.

Great newcomer! Rich colour on this one, and a very handy sized smaller knife in my experience.

It’s a handy size that is just big enough to feel like a full size knife.

I agree. They still are the best in the business but the earlier GEC knives is where it’s at.

My Father in law gave me a whole box of knives that were his Dad's. Im still checking them all out, and going to start cleaning up some of them soon.

What a great gift... One of my favorite pastimes, fussin' and cleaning up old knives. I don't restore - I refesh. Each and every knife gets a different approach to the refreshment activity, depending on the knife, and its condition. I try to keep the character of each knife intact. Some have rested in the knife roll since 1981 while life went on and I tried to decide how to approach them. Unlike many folks, I do most all of my cleanup by hand, with very little help from a Dremel for some of the tight spots here and there. I find it quite therapeutic. I look forward to seeing some of your progress on these. It looks like you have some real beauties there.
 
The Old Timer was still new in box.
I did take a dremel to the kick of the Buck 500 to get the tip in the handle. But other wise its getting rust/gunk off of them for the most part. I like the character they already have.
I like the initials of the Grandfather on the Schrade lockback. And the busted up handle on the Sodbuster. I thought about rehandling it, but it makes me laugh seeing that side of the handle he used as an improvised hammer. Ive been told he had quite an anger problem.
I might have some i end up completely restoring though, just depends. Sadly i lost a couple of them. They pretty much crumbled apart on me lol.
 
I'm a bit late displaying this addition. (My son got married last weekend on Oahu where he lives and we've been BUSY the last few weeks.)
Will Power Will Power shocked me silly several weeks ago with a gift of this stunning Case Humpback Half Wittler. Gorgeous fit and finish.

It's been in my pocket quite a bit recently.

Lookin' good... That Sodbuster doesn't look too bad from what I can see in the photos. Is the other scale in better or worse condition?
