Let's see some Ebony!

[Bastid]

Some great looking old and new knives in this thread.

Three Bose/Case collaborations and a swayback by Ken Erickson. (I carry this one on occasions.)

Gus, that NYKC shield seems to have been designed around ebony. Just a great locking swing guard hunter, there.

Two oldies - A New York Knife Hammer Brand and an AJ Jordan -

And a Great Eastern/Tidioutte Conductor -

Did any of you by chance purchase the #18 serial ebony Conductor from Northwest? I have the #18 Ben Hogan and #18 Cuban Stockman on the way, I'd love to have a trio instead of a duo.

Pics today if I'm lucky... I'm really hoping to see a package on the porch when I get home.

Thanks again for posting the pics everyone... I'm loving them. Ebony is such a classic and beautiful material on these knives. What's funny is I've been working with wood for a long time and never really had any love for Ebony until I got into traditional folders.

edit: YAY!

Here are 2 Old Ulsters. Ulster used some great ebony, very tight grain hardly a pore visible.

Those are stunning, Paul.

Hi folks -

I think I enjoy looking at pictures of traditional slip-joint knives more than any other knives.

Here is a picture of the only ebony I have, my 2010 moose.

best regards -

This is my only Ebony so far.

It may not be much but I am now officially an addict. My ebony collection will be growing as soon as possible.

My only two:

2010 Forum Knife and a Cattaraugus Electrician's knife

Everybody has to be congratulated on those lovely knives...
Paul M...that big Ulster is just one fantastic knife - beautiful !!

Here is a lovely TB designed Case, love this little saddlehorn..

 

[OldSarSwmr]

thank you my friend, I haven't been brave enough to use this lovely knife too much, but I am about to do another photo shoot soon, so they will all come out, and I just may have to change my ways....as we all know to use a knife is to REALLY appreciate that knife

Edit...the reason I bought this knife was the style of the saddle back-and also the secondry blade was just that bit different, the description was African Ironwood, which I thought was in the Ebony family...i am certainly NOT sorry I saw this knife, the seller was just a great guy as well = perfect.

It would be as shame not to use such a nice knife. I did a search looking for one but it looks like it may have been a SFO that was done several years back.

Great idea for a thread. I really like those Ulsters.

Sperry and Alexander (Charlie says made by Schrade):

Catt that looks just like a Case 83 whittler:

These are truly outstanding. That serpentine jack is in phenominal condition.

 

[black mamba]

Just received this ebony beauty today. Both sides match beautifully, with barely discernable lighter brown streaks, but very dark overall.
