There's not much of a story to that knife. Yes, it was done by Dale (pretty obvious with his mark prominently on the blade) and yes it started life as a Camillus Electrician's knife. I guess he just decided I needed it and it showed up in the mail one day. You could have knocked me over with a feather. That's been close to four years ago and I'm still in awe of it. Makes my eyes sparkle every time I see it. I appreciate all the knives with which I've been gifted but there's a few that are especially special and this is one of them. Thank you Dale. Semper Fi brother.

Re: Who's into S & M?
I won't argue with you on that one. I gotta tell ya, that electrician's knife is an amazing canvas for mod's. Between Dale and Glenn, they have done some stunners.

Re: Who's into S & M?
From the Keystone Series XII they called it the #14113L Lockback Mountain Man. There were seven knives in that series. Two were MOP, one black, the other white. The other five knives in the series had a white MOP shield. ---> http://www.traditionalpocketknives.com/ ... toneSeriesBrumbydownunder wrote:Onlt S&M I have (so far Currently eyeing off the S&M Sway Back with large clip blade.)

Re: Who's into S & M?
Speaking of handsome knives, some time back I ran onto this modified #29 English Jack on another forum and fell in love with it. Even looked into getting an extra #S&M 042 129 English Jack F&W Series 3 Edition 2 from 2005 so I could have the same thing done. Other interests popped up and that idea kind of petered out.
Clarence Risner's grandson must have seen that knife and loved it as much as I, because C. Risner Cutlery put in a Special Factory Order and had a run made very similar to that knife. I'm excited. Just ordered one this morning. It comes in three different handles. Smooth White Bone, Black Saw Cut Bone and Amber Whiskey Catalina

S&M 's in mother-of-pearl...my photography leaves a bit to be desired, doesn't capture the fire well at all. But, I do like the lighting in the early morning.

Mike, pearl is just a bear to photograph and catch the fire. That's a couple of dandies you have there.

Re: Who's into S & M?
Guess I'll post this Executive Jack here as well (also posted in Wharncliffe thread). I really like this stripped down, bare bones version with no shield or blade etch.

Re: Who's into S & M?
Q: That is an exceptionally good looking knife. And I agree, it flows exceptionally well absent the standard markings.

Re: Who's into S & M?
A beautiful barlow Tsar. Congrats. While I have a couple of large barlows, for personal use I prefer the standard sized barlows. However, looking at yours, I think that particular one could make me change my mind. But it is just to impressive for me to put to work.
Re: Who's into S & M?
Speaking of Barlows...
Already posted these on the Barlow thread, but I think they should get a viewing here as well.
