Greg, very nice!
Is it a 08230 1/2 by chance?

Re: It's In The Mail
Well I just checked my Sargents and it shows the 30 pattern at 3 3/8 from the Case Bros period. It came with recessed or smooth bolsters so it looks like 08230 1/2 Is on the money.

I was starting to go into withdrawal and since the Rough Riders are not much money ------- This one is on it's way. She's a 3½" mini-trapper with buffalo horn handles dressed up by a strip of abalone.

Thanks Greg. I was influenced by another member who had bought one of these Premium Rough Riders. I'm so weak.

While I was pondering the best way to spend a lazy rainy day this morning, this one caught my eye and she's on the way.

Wow another awesome knife Greg!
I gotta get back to work soon. I'm getting tired of watching my collection shrink. I would like to see it grow instead. Guess I'll have to go and check out some Rough Riders and get my fix.....

Re: It's In The Mail
These Churchills got their hooks in me. I've been waiting for a smooth yellow rose bone run from GEC for a while now. This one's en route:

I would like to see the Churchill with mammoth handles. They would suit the sleek profile very well.

Re: It's In The Mail
I've got one of those in transit too, Tony. The Yellow Rose and the forum knife will be the only Churchills that I'll get from this run. I anticipate having a hard time deciding which one I like best but I'll have to wait until I have them both in hand.Tsar Bomba wrote:These Churchills got their hooks in me.

Re: It's In The Mail
I thought the same thing when I made my reservations but then I got my eyes on the ebony Churchill, a handle material that is surprisingly sparse in my accumulation. The smooth yellow rose was a "must-have" as soon as I found out abut it, though. I'm also highly psyched for the AAPK knife. I might need a thicker belt.Railsplitter wrote:I've got one of those in transit too, Tony. The Yellow Rose and the forum knife will be the only Churchills that I'll get from this run.

Re: It's In The Mail
I was so enamored with the GEC #35 Churchill Yellow Rose, I called GEC this morning and ordered a #35 Churchill Green Banana Bone. Chris said she would get it shipped out today so I should have it by Friday, Saturday at the latest if the Post Office doesn't stick it to me.
