I like it!

2X______I'm likin' the Ruby Red,this go round too !!!!! just because ,they finally "'Dyed"" the bone ,all tha' way to the bolsters

My latest____I had to over-look those ""Double Pulls"" on the ""'New Release, 73 Scout"",because the stag was so nice

____but,to be ""truthful"" ,the knife does not look as ""over-dressed"" in the hand,as it does in the photos**** I tried opening,the knife with the long pull,and it can be done------but it will eat up your fingernail

______If I carried the knife,the long pull,would be a ""total waste""____although, it did make them, move the cresent nick,a little more forward,which makes the knife easy to open

I think,the one,is enough for me,on this model ___(JMHO)

Fine stag there, Monk.

I think,the one,is enough for me,on this model ___(JMHO)

Is that to say if they slipped out a few in ivory or mamoth you'd pass?

big monk,

I like it as well but I don't mind a dye fade at the bolsters. It actually looks real good on some bone.

Gunstock Jack,

It's going into the collection, it'll be a safe queen.

Nice knives, fellas! I'm holding out for the single blader's to come out. OK, I bought a few in between....

IMBand · Post by **IMBand** » Tue Jul 19, 2011 5:18 pm

12J - Gary Graley had a good review of this pattern. I agree with what he says about it.
I think I will call this 'Smooth Burnt Stag' - nice little fatty anyhow.

If someone happens to have either of these knives, that they are willing to trade/swap or sell,please, send me an e-mail or private message___thanks,Monk

Gunsmoke47 · Post by **Gunsmoke47** » Wed Jul 20, 2011 12:32 am

WOW Congrats Monk! I have both the ones you are looking for, but I doubt we can do each other any good.

I want the Open House Casin so bad I can taste it, but I doubt you want to get rid of it and I really don't want to get rid of the Smooth red bone or Bark Moss Green. I too want to complete a set.

Good luck with your quest. If I see either of the two you are looking for I will contact you straight away.
