Thank you and in regards to the 35, of the 3 I own (Banana bone/Stag) I like the ebony the best. To me it screams "classic" pocket knife. I waffle between the Northfield and Tidioute trim but in this case the Tidioute wins out:thumbsup:

Just got this 23 in. This is a serious knife here..reckon the reason i got it is possibly the last owner had a hard time getting it open. I love the strong pull. This one is going to be my full time companion. 2010 chattahoochee cutlery club knife.
 
Ace, please let us know how she is for whittl’n. I’ve been eyeballing one of those for that task myself.

It's doing a fine job. So far I've made a whistle out of a small wild cherry branch, and a garden dibber (basically a pointed stick!) out of the same branch. I'm using the factory grind as far as blade angle, but have stropped it to shaving sharp. Plenty of leverage with that short, thick Wharncliffe blade, and two small blades for getting into tight places. I picked up a whittling book for ideas and have learned that this is a good time to whittle while you can get green wood before the sap starts to run and being "wet" it is much easier to carve.

Awesome! Thanks Ace. That settles it going to have to give in and pick one up. That smooth chestnut is a looker too...
