Why thank you It's English Yew that I bought in Germany and sent to J jsdistin for a total re-handle. Unfortunately, it's cracked, if you zoom left of the pivot you can see a hairline starting (that's got a lot worse) Will have to send it back but I fear this wood is unsuitable and it will have to be Micarta Just can't face parting with it as it's so amazing.Will that bottom bull nose is super fine.

I need to try some Delrin covers. Thanks for sharing. Cute dog tooHere is one with an O1 steel blade and delrin handles.
Beautiful series of knives Jack Black. I want that Imperial in the last image, or at least one like it. I didn't know Imperial made one.
If you want an Imperial than no need to dream. They are on Amazon for $10.Beautiful series of knives Jack Black. I want that Imperial in the last image, or at least one like it. I didn't know Imperial made one.
No, I'm not soliciting a sale. I'm just dreaming out loud and drooling on my keyboard.
Oh wait. I want that Imperial, but only if it was manufactured in the USA. I knew it was too good to be true. Maybe I should have paid closer attention. -Hanging my head in shame-If you want an Imperial than no need to dream. They are on Amazon for $10.
Ha! Just go for the satisfaction of wearing the etch off. That way your joy lasts longer.I know it's silly
I wanna pick me up a large SS case sodbuster
Get me a belt pouch
Sand that ugly etch off
And use it like a rented mule as a work knife ..
Maybe after Christmas ...
I work in a hardware store
Mostly cutting boxes, opening bags nothing terribly difficult but alot of it is probably tough on blades.. especially all the tape that needs cutting
It's silly cause I have lots of "better" and more expensive knivesHa! Just go for the satisfaction of wearing the etch off. That way your joy lasts longer.
Oh, and there's nothing silly at all about your wish. After all, knives were originally made to be used.
Ooooh an old carbon steel versionGo for the Sod Buster... work it like a John Deere plow.View attachment 2016918
As near as I can tell, it's from 1967-69 era. I'm working on cleaning it up now. Standby for photo updates.Ooooh an old carbon steel version
