Peach Pit Pulls

I can now legally openly carry a switchblade in my home state.

!!! YES !!!

Always have ..just.. discreetly. . . . .Now .. that's changed.

I everyday EDC a modified leverlock .. stag scales .. desert ironwood bolsters .. mosaic pivot pin .. all other pins spun .. X160CrMoV121 (D2) blade steel ... tempered to a 61 +/- 1 HRC. It's my go to knife .. when there's something in the other hand that needs cut. It's my go to knife .. most all the time. The one hand opening .. is so .. convenient.

I asked JJ about the possibility of a carved peach pit skull ... to act as a pull. I'd originally planned it for my Russell Medium Lockback Barlow .. which I also EDC. We did a deal ..and.. look what I got !!
However .. discretion is no longer required for the auto. SO0oo .. it'll pull duty with the leverlock.

Above that is Moe the monkey.

Currently configured for keeping the company of keys.

Likely destined for a life similar to that of his brother.

!!! .. Thank you, JJ .. !!!

well one of these days Mo will have to meet up with Ike the iKC monkey. I tried peach pit carving once and have a great admiration for how difficult it is and how easy JJ makes it look LOL

Congrats on those D ale!

Indeed, Jan ..&.. the pics don't do them justice.

The detail is simply amazing.

The naturally creviced peach pit .. when smoothed down a bit .. resemble the folds of a cerebral cortex .. adding a morbidly unique aspect to the skull.

Moe .. the monkey .. has fingers & toes.

I'm holding concrete evidence supporting JJ's preference for the wharncliffe.

Moe has found a permanent home.

What a wonderfully unique watch fob.

There's a Cattaraugus 3-W in the lower left.

The 2-blade jack in the lower right bears the stamping

ENTERPRISE

CUTLERY Co.

St. LOUIS USA

At the top is an Ulster Mountain Knife

It was only made for 2 years .. 1942 & 43.

The bail bears the stamp ... U.S.

Note: When doing business with the Japanese .. if they call the meeting .. they bring the gifts. If you call the meeting .. you bring the gifts. The watch was gifted to me by my equivalent @ Acer Communications & Multimedia. The watch is manufactured by ALBA .. a wholly owned subsidiary of Seiko. The watch is amazingly accurate. It keeps better time than my SEIKO Chronograph. When time to change the battery .. I set it per NIST time. It maintains that time throughout the entirety of a battery's life .. 30~36 months .. literally , to the second !!!

Thanks again, JJ.
