Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

After a year of searching I finally found one. Polished out all the patina, cleaned it up and gave it a fresh look.

Was also gifted a 99 Farmer Lock. I appreciate it alot Todd. This came pretty gunked up with quite a bit of pitting, the top pivot area was used to open beers and blade had been used to dress a critter. Todd left it up to me to breathe "new life" into the knife. Couldn't wait to start. Gave it a -800 grit satin on the blade until all the pitting was gone. Left the pepper spots as is to leave character. Then sanded the micarta marrs down to 150, 200 and back up to 600 grit. Finally cleaned out the action with WD-40 and Compressed air. I should really start taking "before and after shots" xD Extremely happy with how it came out and now it shall be put to use.

A bit of old school and a bit of new school! New knife is a GEC #15 one arm boys knife with rust red jigged bone.

I had sold my SBJ a while back and regretted it ever since. Here is a Case Display model I just found at a hardware store a few hours ago! Gotta clean it up and take better pictures this afternoon.

Just received this #25 in the mail that I picked up from Bob (BigBiscuit) on the exchange. He did the EO notch and the forced patina, and he did a superb job on both. I love this little knife already! It's definitely going in my pocket tomorrow.

So my buddy 5k Qs and me traded a uncle Henry I found at a antique shop for a old timer he had picked up. Man this knife is great and he even sent a small letter telling me how it came about along with some other stuff just added to the value of the knife to me. it now has a longer and better story that I'll cherish for a long time. What amazed me is what great and friendly people I keep meeting here on the porch. This us just a big ty to GT Man anytime ya need something let me know friend.


 
You're welcome, Keith, and I'm glad you like it! :thumbup::thumbup: davek14 once sent me a 34OT just like that one out of the goodness of his heart and I think it's a great example of a stockman. The Uncle Henry arrived today, and I think it's fantastic! :D I hope to post some pics soon and say more about my new favorite uncle! Thanks for letting me "make" you trade with me, Keith. :D

Just got this one in yesterday. Like a kid in a candy store when you open the door to your mail box to find a package that has a knife inside.
