In my pursuit of Queen made knives, I just added this wonderful Railsplitter in Honey Corn Cob jigged bone covers. I was on the fence about the covers but they just kept calling to me. D2 steel, solid blades all in a hefty yet compact package. I love the knife:cool: It came as dull as a butter knife but with time and patience she is laser sharp now:thumbsup:

Wow that's a great looking knife Paul, congratulations! I've always been facinated by railsplitters and the colour and jigging are spectacular :thumbsup:
 
Finally got around to taking some pics of my new Otter Messer 161. Fit and finish were mediocre, but the ergonomics and thinness behind the edge are fantastic. It's really too bad that high quality 4" to 4 1/2" handle single bladed spear-point barlows are so rare. May have to settle for a 5" handle S&M Grand Daddy spearpoint at some point, even though it's a bit bigger than I prefer.

I wanted to give the Eisenhower pattern a try so I found one on the big auction site that didn't cost me much. It is dinged-up a bit, and there were some sizeable divots on both blades (main especially). I couldn't really see them in the pictures. Although I spent time on a coarse stone getting them mostly out (I am far from an expert freehand-er) you can certainly see 'em here. At any rate, the purpose was to have decent example. The main is pretty soft on opening, with good snap on closing (what's up with that?). The pen secondary is nearly a nail breaker. I like the single-spring thinness of the knife but after carrying it for the day it will certainly not replace the mighty peanut.

Is that an American Whittler? I have one in ebony, and I simply love the lines and threading. It looks stunning in abalone. You've done a great job photographing it, but nothing beats holding a piece of abalone in order to appreciate the depth and colors. Very nice:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thank you. It is one of my favorites. It is amazing to hold and see the depth of the scales. GEC does a fine job on the abalone. As far as I know it is just considered a Congress. It is the #61 pattern with 4 blades.
