I must confess that as a European I didn't know who he was, had to find out. Imagined he was some kind of outdoorsman legend type....Well, yeah very outdoorsy and indoorsy too
Great knife whatever
Two of my most recent purchases have been the most challenging to photograph. The mammoth Amherst folder is treated with an extremely shiny coating that made it hard to control the reflections. And the Jason Good black micarta contrasted so much with the blade it was tough getting the correct exposure. Like you said, bright overcast works real well.
. The mark side is gorgeous and the pile side is a bit light with quite a bit of white showing but still very pretty. At 2.75" it's the same length as a peanut but the clip and pen blades are smaller than those on the peanut.
That knife used to belong to a fine forum member @BigBiscuit that passed last year. May Bob’s legacy live on. Carry it and remember every day is a blessing.A good sale from @Signalprick put this one in my pocket today. I have to say, for me at least, the 15 pattern could be just about the perfect size for a pocketknife.
As much as I like the 77, just a smidge smaller seems about right.
Was just gifted this knife from Saladini in Scarperia, Tuscany, Italy. The model/style is Fiorentino. The bolster and little accent on the bottom of the handle are silver and etched with lilies (symbol of Florence is the lily or "giglio"). Back spring has some file work. Handle is ox horn.
I really liked the looks of those from the get go but wanted to hold out for Stag and as you know , I prefer to only buy Northfield and I can not buy them all . I could easily settle for one of those though . We will see what is available at Titusville . Were you lucky enough to get one with some really rough Bark as well as that color ???? Nice looking knife my friend . Looking forward to seeing it in person in Titusville .This one just in yesterday is one of a group I picked up on the exchange. A Tidioute 43 Oregon Trapper with Frontier Bone. This is my first 43, but it won’t be my last!
Thanks Harry. The colors and texture is very consistent on both sides. The texture is not overly rough. I’ll say one thing that I really didn’t know. I can pinch the blade open with no trouble. It could have been a little stouter and would have been better suited to my taste!
