I've been struggling with time the past couple of days, not in an Albert Einstein sort of way I hasten to add, just very busy, and inundated with PMs and emails! 
I've just gone through about 5 pages of this thread, and in the end, I had to give up quoting pics of all your gorgeous knives! I was carrying these two today...
I'll have these two with me tomorrow Have a great weekend everyone

Yep. I bought 2, but the other will be going back. A bit of blade wobble that most wouldn't worry about, but the spring is also rather recessed when closed, so both issues combined mean it's not one I'd want to keep This one is great though.

I saw some cocobolo handled knives posted recently (after my ebony postings) and it got me looking. Today, I've picked a Cattaraugus equal end jack (1826-1963) with cocobolo covers, But so as not to add to much cocobolo clutter, I've also picked Robeson Shuredge regular jack (1940-1964). Both Cattaraugus Cutlery and Robeson once were located in Little Valley, NY (as were several others).

Great looking covers on the Robeson!

I know exactly what you mean. I get lost trying to quote all the love out here. I’ve relinquished to using the like button. That #35 is still my favorite GEC...as far as use goes.

We just don't get enough opportunities for snow and ice pictures around here.Funny you should say that my friend. The knife had been in my pocket and was melting through the ice and threatening to slip and slide to the cement

Good memory Paul
it was a few years ago when I modded that 113, I've got a few Buck folders that are much lighter and slimmer than when they left the factory a few others have been gifted to family and friends along the way. There's an old 112 sitting in a box out in the shed with the blade and bushing wrapped in blue tape, it's still all ugly from the disc sander, maybe this summer I'll get around to finishing that long abandoned project...Yes, Harry, those are very special. Thanks for letting us share them.These for Old Friends Friday : The one that I have had the longest ( Ulster since 1961 ) and the one that may be the oldest one that I have Taylors Eye Witness . Possibly older than 1892
