No Phil ... I think this one is perfect, as is! I think I want to add at least one more of Jeff's knives. Next one, would like to have covered in bull horn.
Gotta be proud of that knife. Very nice. Are you planning to decorate the shield?
That is a lovely knife Dennis !
That is stunning!!!! That micarta is beautiful
Thanks! This one is sweet. According to Jeff, he bought the micarta way back in the 70s from Angus-Campbell in California (where Bob Loveless was buying his micarta at the time). Over those 40 some years, the color has aged to this wonderful orangish brown. He also "under-bladed” the spine of the blade (as was done with many of the old Sheffield knives) so it sits slightly lower than the top surface of the back spring in the open position. Here is a pic showing this:
Oh my, Dennis,

!!! .. That's remarkably sweet .. !!!
