[IMBand]

IM

[Wood-Guy]

Nice one there IM. I had two of those myself, down to just one now though. Nice knife!

[Wood-Guy]

This one just came in... #73 in dark cocobolo wood "1of10"

[big monk]

Nice,Ryan **____Looks more ""ebony"" than the last few runs of ""EBONY""

[Wood-Guy]

Yep... She's dark, that's for sure! hard to capture, I try again sometime...

[Wood-Guy]

Picked these up at various times, two from eBay and one from a trade. #42 Missouri trader serialized, #72 jigged bocote serialized & #76 western outlaw in ebony. 2012, 2010, & 2013...

[Wood-Guy]

Picked up a couple on a trade, 2010 #23 beavertail jigged bubinga, & #79 "1of4" blonde curly maple serial #04.

[big monk]

Nice pair,Ryan !!!!!____________the end cap on the Beaver,really makes it stand out !!!! I like the end caps, but they don't do them much (cost factor,I guess ??? )

[jerryd6818]

I like the end caps,

Finally, an ally.

[Wood-Guy]

Yep... I have to agree, end caps are the way to go, depending on the pattern, it just doesn't seem right without. I guess cost is a factor but how much more could it be $5-$7 a knife to add em'. Perhaps they do without to change it up?

[jerryd6818]

Don't you think it's a combination of the style of knife, tradition for the pattern, taste of the people making the knife and the cost it adds to the knife?


I can't be quiet any longer. The title of this thread cracks me up.

[Wood-Guy]

Yes Jerry. I believe all that plays into cost, end cap/no end, etc. I have been pretty much on board with the majority of the knives they put out, heck they'd have to read peoples minds to get em' perfect! they do just fine, it's only that's sometimes certain patterns one says to themselves "this is a great knife, if only it had an end cap..."

[jerryd6818]

Sorry if I restated the obvious.

[Wood-Guy]

Not at all. I think the patterns that don't have them that would be a perfect candidate for end caps just leaves the door open to revisit the pattern and apply end caps. oh by the way thanks for the compliments, very hard to find a good #23 these days...

[Wood-Guy]

Picked this knock out up recently, #74 ranch hand in stunning cocobolo wood. Wow! she's a keeper for sure.

[big monk]

WOW !!!!!______________outstanding grain on that one !!!!

[singin46]

Yeah, the grain really matches from side to side.

[IMBand]

Beautiful #74 there Ryan. NICE!!

IM

[Wood-Guy]

Thanks fellas, mighty kind words... when I first saw it, I had to do a double take, I couldn't believe how good it looked... Wow!

[Tennessee Dave]

That one is simply stunning Ryan. Congrats

[Wood-Guy]

Thanks Dave! She's a beaut, no doubt about it. glad to have it.

[Wood-Guy]

Here's a pair of #23s I've picked up not too long ago. Cocobolo & ebony.
The ebony is not jet black as it appears in the pictures it's actually got streaks of lighter brown in it.
