Schrade is about the only company that I collect boxed sets from, and this is one of the nicest, the Wostenholm I•XL collaboration.
I got this one from the Irv Trachtenberg heirs (a former exec with Schrade). The jigging is terrific, and the clipped spey is very unusual.

I do like that pocket worn red bone! I almost bought one today, but passed in favor of something else... Love the threaded bolsters on the other one, but what is the color? Can't place it. I'm guessing both are 6318s.

Thanks Ace! Actually they are both 6347’s, my favorite case pattern along with the sowbelly. The red one is the dark red CV series not the pocket worn ( I have the pocket worn red, love it). The other is the walnut Rogers jigged bone series.
 
I just found this one yesterday while checking out a (new to me) hardware store. I looked at several nice peanuts and stockmans and a few jigged chestnut bone CVs, then spotted this smooth chestnut bone seahorse whittler. I've tried my hand at whittling a few times with a little RR whittler and have been wanting to step up to a seahorse, so I couldn't resist this one.

Ace, please let us know how she is for whittl’n. I’ve been eyeballing one of those for that task myself.
