. The covers on this on are sawcut amber bone Kinda hard to find these days. Sold out at dealers so you’ll have to keep your eyes peeled on the secondary market.What wood is does that case barlow have? Now I want one just like it.
Thank you!That is just so damn beautiful
Fine pair of knives, Greg, and an impressive bowlful of other edged tools! Did you make all those arrowheads? I doubt if I could even draw one that nicely on paper, let alone shape one from stone!

Wow! What a great skill and generous soul!Thank you, Gary. Those arrowheads were acquired from a friend and talented flint knapper in Texas in a trade. I made him a osage bow and he sent
all those arrowheads plus two flint knives and two arrowhead beaded necklaces, one for me and one for my wife. I was blown away by his generosity and the quality of his work. My grandson has taken an interest in flintknapping and has gotten some instruction from a few of my friends at rendezvous.
Here's a pic of him from 2018 when he was 9 yrs old working some stone on one of our campouts. And a pic of an arrowhead he made the next year.

Cool picture, Jeremy.
That's one sweet knife Jeff. Hope you are all rested up in the morning and have a safe trip back home.View attachment 1513845 Once again, 500 miles from home in a hotel, and a bunch of pages behind here.
Returning my three grand daughters to their Mom after a nice week with them. We met in Kentucky, sparing me from having to drive all the way to Georgia.
I look forward to catching up with all your posts when I get home. For now, I’m zonking out.
I am of the same mind as you when it comes to Micarta. For years I never really warmed up to micarta on pocket knives. I preferred to see it on larger fixed blades. However, when Northwoods started using the blue denim Micarta I knew it was for me.In general, micarta doesn't appeal to me (maybe I'm too old) but denim micarta is an exception! Is the knife resting on the "hen and chicks" plant that often appears in your pics? I had no idea that they eventually turned purple like that! I thought they just disappeared under the snow and resprouted in the spring.

Corto_Malt , this is the Signal Jack, Yann.
Thanks @Jerbhola89 , the Cocobolo is difficult to photograph well. It’s appearance changes quite a bit depending on the light
Got these out for the evening... I think it covers stag Saturday and Sunday. Behring Made Bushmaster and GEC 42 Trapper. The stag handle on the Behring Made is phenomenally comfortable--funny how a naturally occurring material and shape is so ergonomic.
