Fabulous pair Jerry, man alive that one with jigged bone and the Tbird shield is the coolest knife I've seen for a while. Beautiful bone, sweet shield, great shape on the blades. Do you recall the bone color? That's killer bone. The yellow smooth bone is beautiful too. And great patch shield. ::tu:: ::tu:: ::tu:: Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnyeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh.

That's another beauty Nev, love that bone color. Looks like an excellent job of putting her back together too. Looks factory stock only better bone that I ever see on these. Kudos to you for making the knife world a lot better looking.

Those are great! I had forgotten about the one you did for Mr. Tommy.

Great work Nev. I love mine, I’m not a big lover of two blade Jack knives in general. But the CASE Loomfixer and the Camillus 23 are the exceptions. It’s a great knife for a mod.
