Well that's a hard question, the carvin jack is pricey, but the fit and finish is very nice, the locks work well and the blades are very high quality. it can do a lot of work, but its not really a substitute for a good veriety of tools. It can however, when combined with a larger knife, a wood rasp and some sandpaper make just about anything. The sheath is quality but not super robust, and you may want to make a strip of leather that is about 4 inches long, an inch wide with a hole in the end, if you plan to use the push chisels this will stop the opposite end of the handle from ripping up your palm. I think if you have the money, and it is something you would use a lot that its worth the cost.
I lost all my photos when my computer died. This way I'm getting that record updated and futhermore saved here off-sight if I have an insurance battle should something bad happen.
JJ, we have to bring Shelby along he does not have a Elephant toe or a seahorse but so he will not have a hard time getting accepted, I'll lend him at least a seahorse... I know that's a must for you.
I can tell by you picture your not "just plain" anything.. more likely a real entertaining charature to asscociate with and you're not that old but I will call you JJ!

You amaze me with with your ability to photoshop those images.
Get ready, gotta feeling we're opening an iKC Gift Album.... at least that's my thinking from reading the comments so far. Gonna need your help to get some up from them to use, eventually folks will see what we've done and will create some of their own too.
I have one, a 1994 classic 73055 abalone swirl. It came unsharpened and it is out gassing and pitted 2 blades on the side where the case shield is located. BUT it sure is purdie.

Yeah, see if you can whip us up a custom iKC one or two. I'd love an "ATABOY" or Kuduos one :)
