Very good Ron...I am absolutely overwhelemed with the kindness from all of you folks, thanks a million! When I get a chance, I'll take a pic of my 1925 German train model...it's all black with red colored wheels and hardware; it really something else. For now I put a few pics up of the Old Cutler line in cat. 1995..And my company Heritage Cutlers.. were not in business long because my partners were lawyers and not knife people! They did have money but no patience and wanted to show a profit immediately! That aint' happen' with custom knife production. FYI Heritages first order was 5,000, Trapper's, two stainless steel blades hollow ground India Stag handled, Solid NS bolster and stainless steel pin assembly, FOR Mr. Stewart Taylor, Taylor Cutlery.....Mr. Taylor and I go way back! This order was tang stamped and sheilded for Smith and Wesson!!  It took me six months to make them, with some help!!

Excellent Ron; here's some pics to give you just a glimpse of my work.

Mother of Pearl, Hand Engraved Bolster's, (Clint Orms), file work and painstaking assembly by yours truely..40 years ago!!  I'll try to fit more pics in one comment and how do I make sure these get up for all to see...(still learning how to navigate here!) Rob.P.

Here's the front of the pearl baby.....This will wake folks up!!

Here's a shot of the Barlow..Mammoth Ivory (purchased from Russia and Alaska), the Scimshaw was done by Joe Luiz, Newport, Rhode Island, also 40+ years old..

One more shot of the inside frame of the pearl baby...It took weeks to make this knife!! ENJOY!!!

Thank you very much, Ron !!.
And congratulations for your pictures !!.
Best wishes !!
Jorge

Thanks Ron.

Ron, thanks for the like & comments on my lock back folder. The blade material is 440. I did not do the knife from scratch. I purchased the parts with the blade heat treated & thru the first grind. I did some change to the blade & final polished as well as the other parts. The handle material I purchased, shaped & fitted, assembled & final polished. I do not have the equipment to blade grind & heat treat. Buffalo horn is a good handle material, holds up well & is respectably economical material to use. 

Thank you.

Thanks for the birthday wish Ron. Someday you will have to teach me how to make such cool pics to post with.

I don't have a dog buddha-I hear the voices in a different way- I was watching a rerun of M*A*S*H* and I heard them say  Trappers, John,- Must* Accumulate* Several* Handles*- I swear, that's what I heard ! LOL

Thanks for the B-day wishes, Ron!

Evening Ron, thanks for the like on my stag Case bull dog. I just happened to be in the right place & time to make a good trade.

Ron,

Thanks for the greeting and birthday card

Thanks for the Welcome!

Thanks for the welcome pic, Ron...I like your page!  Cool...

Ron, maybe I missed it, but I have been wondering how your MRI went? Hope all is well my friend. Ken

Ron, sounds like they have a good idea of what to do. And that they have good plans but painful ones. I know what you mean by the new MRI machine, I have had both and the new one is much more comfortable. The shots in the back are working for me, sounds like you will have much more than that. Anyway, hope all goes well, the back can be very painful. God bless Ron. Ken

Thanks Ron.

Thank you for your welcome

Truly the honor is mine.meeting some real fine folks Here! thanks for accepting my friendship!

Hi, Ron!  Thanks for the birthday greetings!  I guess I've reached that age where I have to buy my own birthday presents.  Thanks to eBay & Amazon that's a gas!  Not only a new guitar, but a new EDC:  An Al Mar "Nomad".  I've wanted one of those for a long time & so far it's been worth my waiting.  Life is good. 

Ron,  Thanks so much for the BDay wish!  Have a great day yourself. JC

Thanks for the birthday wishes, Ron.  69 isn't really a benchmark - 70 is.  But somehow 69 has a certain ring to it.

Ron,

Hahahaha. Ok, I'll take point.  Damn if I ain't the oldest guy in the hunting/shooting crew, as well.  My best buddy in this crew just turned 68 in January.  But, I am having a great day.  Already got a Firebox camp stove and some books from my Darlin.

Ron ,thank you very much for your welcoming me in your club,Jean
