Bone covers aren't typically my thing but this one was too good to pass up!

Thank you sir. I think I'll be keeping this one!When you get tired of those boring bone scales and that terrible steel, let me know. Gorgeous.
She's a beauty for sure; that bone has a pleasing color and jigging.I found this 1978 6232 Case jack a few days ago. It appears to never have been sharpened or carried. The brown bone is absolutely gorgeous, the shield is pinned, and the steel is CV. Now I understand what people mean when they gripe about the newer blades not being very well pointed -- this thing has a needle point! The pen blade was somewhat proud but a few minutes with a small diamond file on the kick fixed that. Overall a real beauty that just screams "classic, traditional pocket knife."

Following up your cigar with one of my own... no, not the knife.. the PROP for the knife...
Just arrived, a little Queen! I have just recently been introduced to Winterbottom scales... still sounds like something from Game of Thrones, but I digress... John Snow mooning the nightwalkers, or something...
I found this one on thebay... looks brand new. It's a Queen, Dan Burke #46, wharncliffe/pen. It's a small knife, not quite peanut size, but small... about like a Case copperhead.
It's a beautifully made knife, and the scales are very, very nice... IMHO, of course. The pen blade looks to be very close to rubbing, but it's likely just that it's such a small knife, there's not a lot of extra room there. There are no signs of rubbing at all on the blade.
I'm tickled...
