It's amazing how much it changes.

Isn't it? The used one looks just like Ebony even though it started with the same color and grain as the other one.

I can't decide which one I like better.

Here is a nice pair of lightly used Schrade-Walden fixed blades: #147S from the late 1960s and #172UH from the early 1970s.

A pair of Case stag stockmen.... the stag on the one with the worked bolsters is "fatter" than the other, but I don't have a pic of that, yet.... apologies for the really weird lighting... couldn't find the sweet spot. The worked bolster one also has a pen blade instead of the traditional spey, and a more traditional clip, versus a sort of Turkish clip..

Case did a nice job on these. The pair has been split up though. I gifted the trapper to a cousin who likes knives.

If I only kept two? It would be these two!

That's a great color on those.... really highlights the jigging. The tribal looks like it could almost have gone "appaloosa" on you, if they hadn't jigged it.

That's almost a little disappointing... I was hoping my coco 93 would keep its grain pattern forever.. I didn't know it darkened like that. Learn something every day...

Couple of custom kitchen knives delivered last night when we went roping. Grey Water Buffalo leather sheaths:

These were just finished, Rose did the green handle one, I did the walnut burl. Both are gifts for friends we're saying goodbye to as we move out of Alaska.
