More beautiful etched blades, thanks for showing them

[dirtyfonzie]

Absolutely beautiful specimens peanut! Thanks for sharing them!

Boy peanut, these are great to see. They are all so beautiful. I like the Maher etched jack.

Got a couple etched Winchester jacks recently.A bone handled 2844 pattern, and a 2640 pattern in ebony with fluted bolsters.

This is a Maher & Grosh hawkbill I posted earlier on the rope knife tread.

That's a great knife Beech,I would think a very rare LF&C,as most were rough black rubber.

Beautiful examples Roger,absolutely stunning.I kinda like that blade on the last one.

[Beechtree]

Thanks wlf. You are right, the black composition handles are the most common, and while I do see stockman knives with different color cell handles, this color combination is uncommon and quite striking.

That is a great Maher Grosh pruner Peanut. It is lovely to see old pruners with their tips intact, not to mention etched!

Great point Bt,not much of a pun intended ,but a nice observation. Pruners condition can be deceiving ,unless one has observed the same in a catalog cut.

Same with spear blades,they might look about full,until you actually see a full blade.No subtstitute for experience.

[Beechtree]

^ So true wlf. The experience you mention just makes me appreciate when I see a full blade even more

[Beechtree]

Not one but two! Very nice. The grind makes for formidable looking blades

[peanut740]

I posted this on another thread awhile back but it definitely fits here also.Excelsior with Forest King etch.

[wlf]

That's a king etch too Roger.
