Thanks Robert, really awesome work there.

I have seen Jan's primitive bone collection first hand and it is better in person. I really love to see people put their whole heart into a collection, Jan and Donnie have done that with their knives.

 

I just did a bunch of food prep with my #73, right now it has a beautiful blue semi patined blade. That 1095 is hard to beat, great edge, great looks.

Yea Johnny, burnt stag, I love that primitive bone too. Miss Jan has an awsome GEC primitive bone collection. The wood on those staffs are Ash and Popular, both make great staffs. They are light and strong. The patina is something special that you just don't get with a stainless steel blade...lol

Beautiful work my friend, very interesting woods you seem to be working on, beautiful though, what variety of wood, would they be?

That moose is looking splendid, the patina is killer and those scales display hours of pocket time, I love seeing this. I would imagine that those were burnt stag scales at one time, correct?

Now they look like the primitive stag I have been wanting for some time, great knives.

These two knives should show my love of the spear point. The Case I carried for years in the late 1980's and the GEC is the one I carry today. The staffs are some of my enventory, I have been working on.

I so look forward to it's finish, like you I feel it will be a great "feeling" knife. It's so reminiscent of a knife from yesteryear, I think it would have gotten along well in the wilderness of days gone by. I want to EDC one, so I think that I may need two of these things. 

GEC's moose is very attractive to me, I don't own one yet, but I really like the looks of this knife. Right now, the #72 is looking great, so I'll just wait for a while.

No Johnny, the spear point folder I had as a boy wasn't a lockback. I just thought it would be neat to have one like I had as a youth. I think it's gonna be just fine. I was shopping for a knife in this pattern a while back but instead got a Moose. I just love this old time pattern. I hope its a great success.

I thought that I read that you didn't like the lockback for the club knife? I assumed maybe you didn't like the lockback for some reason. My mistake, I know you have that beautiful Stag #72 as your hunting buddy. I thought it was a bit strange.

Johnny, I do like the 72 lockback. Where did you get the idea that I don't?

Will do Robert, the deer season starts the Monday after Thanksgiving, so I have a while to wait. Bear season starts on Saturday, so I don't have so long to wait. I'll be heading up to the hills on Sunday though, so I'll miss the opener.

 

Robert, if you don't mind me asking, why don't you like the #72 lockback?
