Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

[Rufus1949]

I bought this Klein as a practice knife to see if I can actually build/modify knives. Definitely need to add a couple tools to make the various processes easier and more precise, but overall I'm thrilled with the results and will likely continue with more projects.

This is a crusty, slightly rusty electrician with fugly plastic covers. Typical Klein knife, all function no flair!

Now it's a nice 3/4 hawk with ebony covers.

Might be a catch and release since I already have an Orange Scramble.

Got home from vacation and had this knife waiting on me. It’s a massively kind gift from Bob Rufus1949 who knew I was on the hunt for a lamb. I absolutely love brass bolsters and the Bocote is beautiful! Thanks again Bob! I’m thankful for your friendship! It’s going right in my pocket!

You MAY be spot on!

And to keep it in the family…

I got this one in the mail from TXGatorbait today.

This one surpasses my expectations. It feels and carries like smooth bone, with the color and character of stag. Love it! Thanks so much Greg!

I got this Imperial Ireland promotional Barlow NOS off the Bay for $12. Fake bolsters, hollow plastic handles, secondary bevel on one side only, but decent enough action and no blade play. I really like it.

Nice one! Those Imperial Ireland Barlows sharpen up well enough and make good users, plus the advertising etch on that one makes it a bit more interesting. Did the 8-pack of batteries cost more than the knife?

Stupendous! The 33 is a really credible carry, lot of master blade in a small frame and it looks fine too. Great stuff all round.

Thanks, Will

Thank you kindly! It is a looker for sure! And I agree, the lamb is such a handy blade.

Thanks Will!

I got hooked, had one for a bit, and had to make sure I could get one back in my pocket. I’m really enjoying this one.
