• Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! I hope that you all have something to be grateful for this year and for many years to come
  • America has reached 250 years, and I am grateful to be here, in the best country in the world. Thank every one of you who helps make this country a better place, those who have gone before and risked it all, and those who've paid the ultimate price to make the United States what we are today.

    Happy Birthday America! Let Freedom Ring for all time!

Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

Rules seem to be gray? Or intermittent, prehaps..you'd think I'd know after years of membership. I was lightly "checked" recently for mentioning a non supporting dealer..

On topic

This one sort of found me.. when answering a WTB/WTTF listing...Love and carry a #35 Hummingbird regularly..this is a welcomed addition.

Well done! Your photo came out great. :thumbsup::)
 
IMG_0003.JPG IMG_0005.JPG Just got a 2 blade 73 GEC from 2007.
This has a nice strong pull and the walk and talk is fantastic.
The only thing lacking was that it had a very obtuse angle and wasn't the sharpest thing out of the tube.
I got it sharpened up to about 15 degrees and it is a fine slicer now.
 
Thanks to JohnDF JohnDF I now have all 4 from the 77 run. I initially was just looking for a solid Barlow knife I liked but....well, you guys know the rest. I really need another knife like I need a hole in my head!!!

Looks great! Would you mind if I shared your photo with others outside this forum who are asking what the satin finish cocobolos look like?

Edit - nevermind you are in the same groups I see or someone else already copied your photo :)

Be my guest. I just edited the photo, this one is a little brighter.
 
A few months ago I came upon a camillus 70 cattle knife with sad, shrunken handles but the blades were about as good as it gets and still had the factory edge. I had yet to own an ebony cattle knife and I knew it was the perfect candidate as soon as I saw it.

So I sent it to @glennbad and he did a BEAUTIFUL job putting on dark ebony using the original shield.

I was just gifted this TAYLOR 12OT pal, and I really cannot fault it one bit as a knife.
I'm not big on it being made in China or the less attractive delrin color compared to an original OT, but the F&F and the W&T are excellent.
I'd never think it was made in China if I didn't already know.

I'll put it in my pocket some time this week and see how I like it.
It came in a gift tin with a 62OT and a 71OT, but those are staying in the display tin as intended since this is the only one that really spoke to me as a potential user.

I got one in a 2 knife deal from Wal-Mart with a 95OT for 20 bucks. Both are great, yeah I wish to Schrade was still a wholly US company, but for a good user working knife these are really good imho. However I found the pal just a bit to tiny for myself. I gave mine to my boss and she loves it.

I don't mind the size at all to accompay any larger single bladed knife I may be carrying.
