I have several black covered knives, mostly Ebony. These two are a couple of my favorites, a NYKC whittler and a Rodgers sleeveboard.

That is awesome right there! Lost my first knife long ago, received in the early 80’s and lost in the mid 90’s. An SAK of some sort, wish I could remember.
So often on here I see first knives were a scout/camp/SAK pattern.
GT I bet that one has some stories on you!

Thanks, Josh. :) The fact that my first knife was a scout influences a surprisingly large number of my knife preferences even today! Looking at the bent backspring on my Forest-Master, I'll bet it DOES have some stories of times we've shared that I don't necessarily want to hear! :rolleyes:

How about some black knives I've been gifted over time by members legendary for their generosity? (I apologize for any repeat pics from previous posts in this thread, but I'm trying to be "thematic" here. ;))

Nice GT... I think we can handle "thematic" over "dramatic" any day on the BF ;)
 
You've been "Wharned"... Schrade Walden 766 Wharncliffe with glossy black cell, this knife says "I showed up for the wedding, but I'm here for the party." :cool:

Sorry about the lime green reflection of my phone case in the bolsters... I ordered a new grey one off of Amazon yesterday so I don't poison any more of my knife pics LoL. o_O

I've heard very good things about that model, Heath. :thumbsup::thumbsup: Yours sure is a looker; blade shape is definitely "killer", and I like the classy black/silver handle. :cool::cool::thumbsup::thumbsup: Lock bar releases well?

Yep, good lock bar release, no play, nice thin grind, pretty good steel, and as you say,, sweet blade shape. The opening is very cool too! Every time I take it out I wonder why I don't carry it more!
