These are very nice GE. Just beautiful!Today's catch - Improved Trapper. Getting accustomed to the added thickness and heft over the Weasel, but I like it!

Thank you, Alan! I think I'm now all set with this pattern, totaling 4 counting the Diamond Jacks. I should cool it for a while. Maybe. I think.

GE I think you are set for this pattern. You got some beauties! I often tell myself to cool it, but it never seems to work

Beautiful knife pictures just don't seem to do it justice thoughThis weekend's carry, courtesy of TJ's recent GAW. 1996 spear/pen red bone canoe. The nickel silver bolsters cleaned up nicely. Thanks TJ.

I've had this one a few weeks now, but never got around to putting a final edge on it for carry. Found out it had no edge at all on the spear main, and only a minor one on the clip. I sat down with a large 400 grit diamond stone, and it took me almost a half hour to get a decent edge. This 1095 must be around 62-63 HRc if that's possible, based on my sharpening of other hard blades. It took MUCH longer to get an edge on than Queen's D2 or ATS-34, and literally seemed to skate across the diamond stone at first.
These are the most beautifully polished blades I've ever seen. True mirrors! I don't think the photography captured it well, but they really gleam. A very nicely crafted knife from 1988, other than they forgot to sharpen it. Oh, for Queen to return to this quality!

That is one sweet looking knife! I had not hear of Rigid knives. This image made me look them up. What a shame they folded.

I've had both of these for a while, but have never officially acknowledged them in this thread!
My wife and daughter picked up this A Wright & Son rosewood lambsfoot at a hardware store in York, England when they visited the UK for a week in April. My wife has been back for almost a month and I've been using the lambsfoot in the kitchen frequently since then.
This Marbles scout is a generous gift from LastRodeo, and it matches a trapper in the Marbles Workman series that I bought at the end of March. Some of the scout's distinctive features include G-10 covers, in-line Philips screwdriver, no bail (and I'm considering trying to put an edge on the awl to turn it into a little wharncliffe). Thanks, Mike!
