I took the 'Bait' John having never heard of Oils Sucker Rod Wood
I thought Rod Wood was a guitarist with the Rolling Stones but no that's Ronnie. Now having Googled it I now know why it is called "Sucker Rod" wood.
Now can you expand my knowledge please? Is the wood used on the knives actually from used Sucker Rods and perhaps infused with oil? And what is the actual wood?
I see the GEC #18 Beagle is available in Oil Sucker Rod Wood , sounds different !
I don't suppose that anyone has a 25 with Snakewood that they would sell?
Favourite combo of pattern and scale material and I would really love to get my hands on one.
Thanks!
I can see why you'd be happy to get your paws on those two knives, Derek! I would be pleased as punch to have either one of those beauties! I especially like that Tidioute Barlow with the embossed bolsters! But I like stag, too! And there ain't nothin' shabby about that Northfield, either! Great score, mate!
Derek....
Well all States allow these two knives. Many States now allow automatic knives as well. Great looking patterns. Good to hear from down under.
I know even for you folks in the USA it is difficult at times to add specific GEC patterns/knives to your collection. It is doubly difficult here in Australia. Many US dealers will not post to Aussie so very few GEC's find their way to our shores.
So was very happy last week when I was able to pick these two up on the secondary market #56 Dogleg Jack & TC Barlow (Not my Pics these were from the vendor)
Now that is looking rather nice !!
wow, that's real nice.
Hmmm, cant wait to see who gets this one LOL
