Nice.
That Kalevala sheath looks like it might be relatively easy to make. (I mean the upper one, if I got the name wrong.) But I like the compactness of the sewn-up-the-back ones.
I went a little overboard. (first sunlit pic of the lambsfoot!)

Naaahh!
These two just seemed right today!
And now for something completely different. I pulled this bullet end jack out of the archives today. It literally begged me to be let out of its tube and carried. I’d forgotten what a handle little knife this is. It deserves far more pocket time than it gets.
Thanks Dean, the same to you my friend, and that's a cool pic
Emspop - did you have to 'tweak' the kick to get the sheepsfoot level?View attachment 786837 View attachment 786839 So many amazing knives from such great folks grace these pages there is just no way I can keep up!
Great knives everyone.
I’m sure my carry today will surprise no one and bore everyone but...my favorite example of my favorite version of my favorite knive...
Cami made Buck 303 with the sheeps level with the clip when closed. I really feel it’s the perfect pocket knife.
I bought this one like is. It looks to me that it’s had a bit of file work on the back of the sheeps spine and maybe I tiny tweak on the kick.Emspop - did you have to 'tweak' the kick to get the sheepsfoot level?
That pony Jack (all steel construction) tmd_87, sure looks like a solid user, sleek and graceful too. I would be tickled pink if GEC did another run of those. Spear and pen please! I prefer the spear but wow, I have to admit that that clip is fantastic.
These two... extremely impressed with this pony Jack! Glad I picked it up.
I'd definitely be in on a run of pony's!!! I am a clip point fan so I would be even more in. But this knife has surprisingly caught me off guard as to how much I like it.That pony Jack (all steel construction) tmd_87, sure looks like a solid user, sleek and graceful too.

It looks like it had another piece of wood hinged to the top to cover the bits. Kept the paint looking newer under it as well. i wonder if evidence of an old latch is under the ruler?Yes, I had thought bits too, and that may in fact be the answer. But, it is not satisfying, because if you open the lid to grab another tool, what falls off? The bits. Hope your friends can shed some light.
