Thats a beautiful knife Duncan....All class...............FES

Duncan, that 'Real Harness Knife' is a beauty.

The 85 pattern has become one of my favorite patterns ever since I received my SFO 85s in African Black wood. I didn't think that I would, but I love the shape of the spearpoint blade, and the Easy Open notch is a great addition!

Meet "Pardner"; I wasn't sure exactly what he'd be holding when I carved him, but he's become quite busy holdin' grandad's old Western States folding hunter, dad's Buck 303 and balancing my razor on his hat! Oh, and my mini-easy open collection too!

Wow Barry! You have great carving skills! Do you use pocket knives to do your woodwork?

I love the mini EZ Open collection!

Several of you gentlemen are artists with your cameras - very cool thread - really look forward to seeing what is going to show up next! OH

He's awesome. Your carvings are great pal, I'm so impressed. Everything I carve just ends up looking like a shrivelled, gone-off aubergine. What kind of wood do you use?

Thanks Paul! I use basswood, as it is very fine grained with even texture (no knots) and carves easily being a little harder than pine. If I was really good, I'd probably use cottonwood bark, as I understand it is quite easily carved and is uniform in texture.

Wow, Barry! You are an amazing whittler!

Thank you sir, but I'm afraid you overstate!

Wow Barry! You have great carving skills! Do you use pocket knives to do your woodwork?

I love the mini EZ Open collection!

I do not use pocket knives for carving. I rough out my carving with a band saw, then use an assortment of chisels, gouges, scorps, and other various carving tools as they are easier to handle and much more versatile than pocket knives. I use pocket knives for just about everything else, though!

The little EO jacks are pretty cool; there are two types out there in the used market, most have shell handles. I collect the ones with solid celluloid handles and real pins, just like their full sized cousins. They're made exactly like a larger knife, only they're 2 inches closed. I don't know who the maker was, but they're US made.
