Nice ones, Jim! I've never seen a Northfield #72 with a crescent nail-nick.

Yup ::super_happy::.

Possibly one of two made (I don't know for sure, but Greg thinks so). I have five #72s, but this one has the best lockup of the bunch - no blade play whatsoever.

Not sure this one counts or not, but I grabbed a 1 of 3 Elephant Ivory #33 from Greg.
Its 1 of 3 with a coping blade I guess, not sure on how many were made with a pen.

Thanks...

I love short runs. I get in on as many as I can in patterns I like. I'd like more of the short runs but you have to be quick on the draw to get most of them.

A few more from this year:

Edit: I just realized in the pictures I have my tubes for the whittler and the wrangler mixed up.....gotta fix that. I take these photos of all my knives for inventory purposes so the blades aren't opened.

Glenn, maybe you didn't ask the right member. I have a mint 73L ebony w/ end caps I would consider selling if you're interested.
