Mine just showed up yesterday, will post some pictures. Mine works perfectly, didn't even oil it yet. The jigging and bone is old-school gorgeous, love everything about this knife. ::ds::
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

. . . and here you go. This sweetie weights about as much as a Case 640045R scout, nice weight in my opinion for the size. I guess I got lucky, can't find any flaws with this one. The shape of the main blade and the locking mechanism distinguish this whittler from all others.

Surfing old threads looking at Cargill knives, realized I didn't post a picture of the "little brother" Norfolk I picked up from Charlie about a year ago. Robeson Mastercraft, made by Queen(?).

Looks different than the humpback lock-backs in most of the photos posted on this thread, but this Northwoods Smooth Calico Bone is also called a Norfolk Whittler. Like knowtracks mentioned, this pattern is what I always thought of as a Norfolk (similar to the Case / Tony Bose Norfolk posted by smiling-knife).

Regardless of the name, all the ones posted so far are real beauties..especially that MOP Cargill

Larry Hayes stag lockbacks 001.JPG
This is a Larry Hayes Norfolk I picked up a while back. I think I have posted this before in other threads. I also have dreamed of owning an original Remington but was pretty sure that wasn't going to happen. Sometimes you just have to settle but when you get a knife as nice as your's or this one, settling isn't such a bad thing. ___Dave
