Kerry, what a haul! ::tu:: Well done. ::nod:: Can you tell me about that little smooth black XX-era barehead jack?
Thanks. Its a 2229 1/2 slick black tadpole. Bought it at a flea market I hit weekly.

gwelker62: I have a few scrimshaw but I have not seen yours before. It appears to be part of a series. You may find scrimshaw knives a bit addictive. :)

Thanks, guys. The blade is CPM 154 and just shy of 3". The handles are bone linen micarta and the bolsters are turquoise Westinghouse G-10.

I had sent Ian van Reenen the Westinghouse material to have this bent gunstock made. After receiving the gunstock, he called me saying there was enough material left for bolsters. I ordered the trapper since this particular Westinghouse material is pretty hard to find nowadays.

You'll regularly see Ian's knives for sale on BladeForums. He makes great EDCs for a good price.

That's a beauty Greg. Just love the skinner blade paired with the clip. Their saddlehorn model has the same blades just smaller to fit the smaller frame.
