Re: Northwoods Norfolk Pattern
Finally found the last jigged bone Norfolk needed to complete the three blade Whittler set…and a couple extras.

Re: Northwoods Norfolk Pattern
Very nice Buck. Wow, what a sweet collection. That’s a pattern I have always liked but haven’t concentrated on, I think that needs to change after seeing your collection.

Re: Northwoods Norfolk Pattern
That's an awesome set!
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: Northwoods Norfolk Pattern
Can anyone help me to identify the covers on this one? I picked it up right here from the AAPK member store recently, but it didn't come with the baggie and the seller wasn't sure what it was. I know it's a Norfolk from the first run in 2013 (2-blade slant bolsters). But when I look at the production sheet for that year I see covers that include "smooth calico bone" and also "smooth camel bone" (undyed). It has to be one of those two, but I don't know enough to distinguish between them.
Re: Northwoods Norfolk Pattern
What a sweet line up. Great score, congrats, excellent group of beaauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuties.

Re: Northwoods Norfolk Pattern
That two blade Norfolk that you have is the Calico Bone. I had one of those along with an ebony and an elephant Ivory. The Ivory is the only one of those that I have left.beezwax wrote: ↑Sat Dec 17, 2022 12:25 am Can anyone help me to identify the covers on this one?

Re: Northwoods Norfolk Pattern
Thanks Bryon! Calico would have been my best guess, but this sample really doesn't have much of the darker splotches that I associate with that coloring. And camel bone seems to have a natural patchiness to it too, so I wasn't sure what I had here. Calico is bovine bone, right? That ivory of yours is gorgeous, I can see why it's the keeper
Re: Northwoods Norfolk Pattern
In my experience, anytime something is referred to as "bone" it is always bovine cow bone. Any other species other than bovine is usually noted in the name. For example:
(color) giraffe bone
(color) camel bone
(color) kudu bone
etc.

Re: Northwoods Norfolk Pattern
I’ve added a couple duplicate Norfolk 3-Blades to the collection and happy to say that this purple camel bone had some storage spots on it so I cleaned them off, sharpened it, and put it in the carry rotation. It’s a joy to have in the pocket. The newest mammoth got a coat of Ren Wax and after a bit of admiration, was put away with the others.
