That wood is crazy Travman! WowThis one is from GEC’s recent run of Desert Ironwood #78’s. View attachment 819540 View attachment 819541
Here's an oldie that I don't think I have posted before. View attachment 819457 View attachment 819458 View attachment 819459 View attachment 819460
So many knives I want to comment on today, hopefully you all can bear with me.
I am particularly fond of micarta on fixed blade knives. Not so much for aesthetics but more for its sheer practicality in terms of a working knife's handle material. That being said, I think that maple burl is stunning and does an exceptional job of dressing that knife up. Beautiful.
I'd have to agree, that tree captured in the bolster is a convenient "accident", I love it when that happens. Great picture of a terrific knife!
I enjoy seeing the Canal Street knives when they pop up, such a shame that they went away and even more so that I came along too late to experience their greatness.
I am beginning to enjoy more and more seeing knives that sport American woods like Walnut (something I've always been partial to), Chestnut, Osage, Oak, etc. Your knife is no exception, chestnut has some really nice grain to it.
I've been enjoying seeing your Zebrawood Queens lately, such a unique wood.
This recent run of Ironwood 78s has certainly given me cause to expand my wood interests. I will certainly be paying more attention the next time a run is done in this wood. There were a lot of terrific examples produced.
Lots of excellent variety today in the displayed woods! Snakewood is so unmistakable and absolutely stunning. A fine pairing you have there.
Is that the Texas Camp Knife is Bocote? Or is that Kingwood? I can't recall off the top of my head. I hope they do another run of those some day, such a cool knife.
This TC that I recently picked up has some of the smoothest Ebony in my budding collection, not a lot of visible grain to it.
That curly zebrawood is awesome, beautiful knife!Galvanic, that's quite a unique knife! Nick on the main and long pull on the secondary- never seen that before! And the frame is kind of a swayback teardrop- never seen that before! Stamping on the spine- never seen that before! It's not April Fools Day, is it?
Just kidding, I love it!
I've got my curly zebrawood teardrop today.
Thank you for the kind words, Dylan. That Ebony TC is quite the looker! Is that a bit of flora that I see reflecting in its ample bolster?
