Joe & Slim, the 61048’s you posted are fantastic examples..

[FRJ]

Thank you.

Earlier in this thread I mentioned I had a 61048 coming to me in the mail.
It has long since arrived.

Thanks, John and doglegg.

Nice ones Joe!

Here's what was born as a 62048 10 dot from 1970. It has since converted into a giraffe bone with Mother of Pearl spacers and filework.

Thank you, slimtrap48.
Nicely refined 48 you have there.

Mine isn't near as pretty as the high grade ones y'all are showing, but it is unique! I bought this off of eBay, complete except for handles. it had never been sharpened and the guy said it was a dead mint 31048 that had out gassed and he pulled the handles. There was some minor pitting, but not bad. I sent it to Dale along with a stick of pretty walnut from dad's wood pile and told Dale to do whatever he wanted to with it. This is the result!

The swell at the end isn't what you'd typically see, but it surely does feel good in your hand. And Dale's stamp makes it even more special.

That walnut handle is simply amazing!!!

[FRJ]

Those new covers turned that knife into a very high grade 48 I think.
Thanks for showing that one, Wade.

[Colonel26]

Thanks guys.

That really is a uniquely styled pocketknife - very nice, slim lines. Not a big Spey blade fan, but it just looks right on that handle. OH

That's a nice looking knife, slimtrap48, who made that one?

I wish I knew! I got it from a buddy who got it from a guy that got it from another.... Thanks, it's really a cool piece.

Great save and meaningful knife Wade. Nothing like having something of Dad on a carry. Best I can say it.

Thanks Jerry. I also had a couple of knives done in some Hickory from my Pa’s old smokehouse. It was some split wood that he’d put in there for the next year’s hog killin’ that never happened. One was an old Areal coke bottle and the other a used 10 dot loomfixer I’d picked up with no handles. Good memories.
