I am really trying to like this hibbard spencer bartlett but i dont think i can get over how bad it has been buffed and polished! I bought it only seeing dimly lit photos and had no idea how much it had been altered. Now everytime i look at it it reminds me ☹ maybe if i force some quality time i will get over it. I had the lambsfoot along today as well. View attachment 1583546View attachment 1583551

The bone on that HSB is spectacular. It's a shame to see the overbuffing, but I know I could knock the shine off that old knife pretty quick. Cut some pickled jalapenos and onions, slice some limes for vodka tonics, etc. and it'll have a nice patina before you know it.

Greg, if you have a GEC lockback (83, 72, 42), how does your Queen 4L compare in the lockup/blade play?

Or anyone else who has both brands to compare.

Today I switched back to my large Boker stockman in stag and 440C. Dang, this is a nice knife!

black mamba Jeff, that is flat out perfect knarly stag - I can see how you return to that Stockman often. OH

Thanks, Bruce! It is a big knife, 4.08" closed, and even with all that gnarly character is only .65" thick at its widest point. Still very pocketable.
And the 440C steel doesn't hurt, either.

I'm hoping to find a Giant Mouse in my mailbox today (never thought I'd ever hear anyone say that)!
I may do switcheroo later.
Happy Hump Day!

Hard for me to capture the hues and contrasts in the pile side of this whaler,it has interesting grain on that side imho.
