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..
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.
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!!
Thank you for the birthday wishes. Much appreciated, and you are right, the years sure do pick up speed as we go along. But we're still here, what's left of us, and that's the best part.
It does indeed look like Santa will be bringing a couple of new knives if he can find his way out in the desert and the critters don't get him. We are hopeful anyway........
Thanks Ron,my friend, I haven't figured out if I'm liking the big 60 yet, or not. I can tell people I know a lot of crap cause I"m old, but on the other hand, getting out of bed is harder than it used to be !! !BTW, Santa, I almost didn't recognize you with the new white beard!!

Hey Ron,
Thank you for the birthday wishes. Much appreciated, and you are right, the years sure do pick up speed as we go along. But we're still here, what's left of us, and that's the best part.
It does indeed look like Santa will be bringing a couple of new knives if he can find his way out in the desert and the critters don't get him. We are hopeful anyway........
Thanks again My Friend.
Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes. Big one for me- 60.

But the technical wizardry is not gifted to all men though.
Love the Christmas theme Ron, specially the dancing Santa and Rudolph !
