Thanks, Dean; I feel very fortunate to have stumbled upon that one! :)

That's an outstanding half-whittler, Dean! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup: What cover material? (Do you and @Jack Black share a "photo pool" for watery backgrounds? ;))

Thanks, Dean. :) (I've started my "Asimov Summer" by picking up The Complete Robot, a compilation of robot short stories. Yesterday I read "Mirror Image", which featured you and Elijah Baley solving a dispute between 2 mathematicians. ;):thumbsup::cool:)

Gary, Case calls the bone on my half-whittler "smooth antique bone." The only pool Jack and I have in common is the big one separating the British isles from North America. :)

Re: Mirror Image: I remember that case (of course)! :D

In addition to the knives I carry each week in a variety of categories as dictated by my rotation schedule, I often carry a couple of "free choice" knives that catch my fancy for the week. This week those knives are a Case Caliber LT347 stockman (I call it large - not sure what Case calls the size) and a Joker 3 1/4" stag lockback:

Your Joker has great stag, Gary. :thumbsup:

I am still struggling with a terrible internet connection here, and I'm afraid it's likely to be like that at least until Monday :( I'm heading out hiking tomorrow, armed to the teeth! :D Have a great weekend folks :thumbsup:

Looks really good! What are those scales? Some kind of stabilised wood, micarta??

Thanks, will
Great job on the re-cover. :thumbsup: :cool: :thumbsup:
Nice work! I also am curious about the scales.

Thanks for the kind words, guys. I can improve on it, but it’s very functional. The material is rag micarta. I stumbled across a guy on Instagram that makes micarta and it turned out he lives in the next city south of me, so I met up with him and bought some material to try some re-covers.

The rag is a bit porous and seems to pick up dirt from my grungy hands at work. I need to clean it up and try to seal it with something. Maybe more oil or bees wax?
