Ok, I looked at the pics again. No more, too tempting. Thankfully they're not a little larger.Sorry Alan, LOL, I try to leave a little to the imagination but I guess I failed,,,,,, again!
Awesome!![]()
These just arrived today. Satin blades on both, and I’m pretty excited.![]()
I use my knives hard here in suburbia, cutting up pb&j sandwiches and even slicing tomatoes. If I carry a smaller blade I'll have to switch to plum tomatoes. Decisions, decisions!Lol, I thought that too, Alan, till I got them in my hands!
You ever get one of those knives that makes you think "well, I can go ahead and thin the heard now. Won't be needing most of the other knives in this drawer anymore"?
Well I got one yesterday. This started life as a fine example of a GEC #35 Northfield in Hummingbird Acrylic.
Thanks to @glenbad it is now the knife GEC should have, but so far have not, built.
Re-scaled in Amber Richmond Jigged Bone with a 'Double Take' shield.

That is a little different, but makes for a good conversation piece. Looks like a good knife.Further, the sawcut feature is interesting in that the direction of the cut on the mark side cover is from the top at the well to the center pin while on the pile side, the direction of the cut is from the upper bolster to the lower bolster/end cap.
I don't have a fancy version like that but I really like the 501. I end up carrying it way more than I thought I would. I like the micarta is that a different steel too?![]()
This one just arrived fromskblades . It has great f&f with solid lockup. I’m very happy with this one.

I just received this beautiful, near mint, Western 640 trailing point from the late 1970s. Just the slightest staining on the blade, and the sheath looks brand new. 8⅛" OAL, with jigged Delrin covers and 1095 CroVan steel.
