Will: Nice review on the TPK Superior and have to agree aon all points. I have the Ash one also and FnF has been very good. Quite a slicer!!!

Got in these GEC fixies to join the Buck 102

I guess it's appropriate that this one came in on Wooden Wednesday, and I couldn't be happier! Got this one off auction for very reasonable $$, considering it's just 1 of 5 #73s made with natural box elder burl covers back in 2007 (Factory Test Production Run). It is the prettiest burl wood handled knife I've ever owned, and the pulls and snap are great as well, firm but no nail breaker.

 

[Peregrin]

That is some gorgeous wood, Jeff! Congrats!

 

[Will Power]

Jeff That's an astounding find! Kind of cool 'camo' aspect to it

 

[paulhilborn]

WOW Jeff!!! Simply one of the nicest #73's I've seen:thumbup:

 

[black mamba]

Thanks, guys, and Will, you're right . . . I wouldn't want to drop this one in the woods during fall!

 

[BigBiscuit]

Wow!!! That's a beauty Jeff. I don't think I've ever seen one so nice from the factory. Congrats on a nice pick up. :thumbup:

 

[black mamba]

Thanks, Bob, I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the tube. The seller's pictures did not capture the colors in the burl very well at all.

Thanks Ron. Gotta get some pics in the light of day to show the coloring of the bone.

Well, here I am a week behind in congratulating folks on their new additions. Lots of amazing blades people have acquired lately!

Looking them over, I see old and new Mountaineers, 2 Gran Prix, 84mm Master Craftsman. LNF Champion, Rangers, 120 Wenger, Huntsman, couple of Fisherman, Spartan, Foresters, Backpackers, Wenger Fishing knife, BSA, EVO, 2015 LE Pioneer, Shredder, Snife, Boker Scout/Camp....etc.

Holy Gopher Guts, is this for real, or are you pulling our collective leg, Robert?? Are you telling me that in addition to all the other fine knives you've been hunting down, you also find a couple of dozen SAKs every day to bring into your collection?? I don't see how you'd have time to find all these if you're locating them one at a time; this must have been a massive "package deal", right? Anyway, what an impressive haul!! :thumbup::thumbup:

Holy Hippo Hearts, David!! Congrats on the stunning knives!! I'm speechless!

just came in!
...
god i love flitz metal polish!

Congrats on picking up a 2014 Forum Knife, mrknife!! :thumbup: Impressive clean-up job with the Flitz!

Rushed picture as I was just leaving the house, but hope it gives an idea.

Thought I'd write an initial review. Very pleased indeed with this latest, an SFO which I'm certain was made by Queen Cutlery and if the one I got is any indication, one that will certainly surprise those who've had questionable results from Queen.

Gaps when held up to daylight? No.
Blade play of any sort? No.
Blade centre? Yes
Arrived sharp enough to shave arm-hair? Yes
Decent grinds/bevel? Yes.
Pins flush? Yes all 6
Spring flush open/closed? Yes
End of spring cut off cleanly and well finished? Yes

This is an interesting Copperhead for a number of reasons, clad in reclaimed wood (this one Ash other include Oak, Maple, Yellow Birch) the handles are very well radiused on the frame smoothly finished with no liner sticking out or other annoyance for the in hand feel. A large but thin Wharncliffe that is easy to pinch open due to the wide blade, the spring is strong, smart half-stop and good snap once oiled. Looks very nice open but a bit odd closed due to the breadth of the blade but a whole lot to pinch open made the nick kind of redundant. The 154 blade is nicely sharp, has a good glaze finish so no fingerprint mess and shows a lot of promise for slicing being ground thin. Ideal as food prep knife or for fishing or small game tasks this makes the knife a versatile carry. Fans of a big Wharncliffe apply here, the swedge looks very much at home on the steel. The price is certainly decent for you Americans under 80 USD delivered, a little more for us in Europe.

Very nice surprise all round I feel.:thumbup:

Thanks, Will

Congrats, Will!! Thanks for the thorough, and glowing, review you provided! :thumbup:

Holy Iguana Innards, Jeff!! Those covers are totally amazing! :thumbup::thumbup:

Beautiful, classic knife, Bob! :thumbup::thumbup: Is that some flavor of GEC 15?

Wundergussy, what model is that delicious stag stockman you picked up? :thumbup::thumbup: I know that it's not one of your usual splendid Charlows!

Wow Jeff, another piece I never would have known was made if you hadn't posted it.

No light when I got home so a lamp had to do. Better photos tomorrow but this is a keeper. Zulu Loveless City knife Tribute by Bret

 

[BigBiscuit]

Thanks Gary. It's a 77.

Tim, you know how I feel about that Dowell. Beautiful. :thumbup: you're a lucky man.

 

[joker354]

Tim, that Zulu loveless is a beauty!

Here are a couple fine examples of natural stag that just came in today. The Yankee is nice, but I really love the workhorse. I bought the workhorse blind, but Mike said he would look at it and if he didn't think I'd like it, he wouldn't send it. He did right by sending it! Thanks Mike!

 

[swaybacksteve]

On a roll Tim!!!

 

[Ryouchijtx]

On a roll Tim!!!

Haha I've been very lucky as of late Steve.

Thank you Eric, that workhorse is really nice. I've always liked how they did the swedges on those and some 73's

Thanks Gary. It's a 77.

Tim, you know how I feel about that Dowell. Beautiful. :thumbup: you're a lucky man.

Haha I have to show you all of them in person one day Bob

 

[mrknife]

decided to add some barlows to the collection, single clip 77, one in black wood and one in stag!

oops meant to put this in on order

 

[2Dead]

Very nice Jeff!! I wondered how the Box Elder #73s looked. I think there some dyed ones out there too but all extremely limited.

Congrats on the #77s Jack!!

Love the GEC fixed blades Steve!! I haven't tried a H50/60 yet but do like the H10s and H73s.
