A 2011 look at some of the primitives. The collection grew over time to every pattern that has been done in primitive. More shots of them are in my photos, the early pages
Wow! That's a real beauty, Jim! Love that "Frontier Bone"!
Here's my '08 Northfield #23...
It was originally a banana yellow but it's original owner had kept it submerged in motor oil for a couple of years before he auctioned it off on eBay. I was the winner of that auction and have owned it for the last 5 years.
The size doesn't bother me as much as how hard it is to open. I bust a nail everytime I try to open that sucker! That's the main reason it sits in a drawer collecting dust.
That's a shot of my 23 watching a SoCal sunset!
Cory,
I am with you. The 23 is a fantastic knife but it is at the limit in size for me. I have a backpocket sheath that mine fits in but I carry it seldom due to the size
"Sort of" with you Cory at 4.8 its about 3/10 of an inch longer than the #23 which itself is a BIG handful! But I guess (like my #23) if I had one it would be carried in a pouch on my belt. I carry my #23 on my belt that way lots around the farm and it is no problem - hardly notice it unless I am climbing through a wire fence.
