Great ones Bomba. Something about the round ends, rounded scales, incredible marbled looking bone. Wow. Alluring, pulling, draws in like a siren song. Nice pair, especially the Tidioute. Absolutely love that bone.

Thanks, I-Man. The white bone 78 is beautiful, I'm a little surprised that the 2-blade is still available at dealers. The single-blade was gone before I could talk myself into buying one but the ivory is still calling my name even after I thought I'd be satisfied with the two-blade version. ::paranoid::

Beauties Q, wow is that my kind of Mammoth and my kind of Amber bone. Yeahhhhh.
I have here basically two sleeve board spears. Or about the same shape anyway, just one smaller. Really love rounded ends, larger at one end, a spear.

Newest initiated member of the Blue Camel Cult. Tidioute American 78 spear. The Northwoods was already in. They can check out any time they like but they can never leave.

Oh Yeah...that blue camel bone is positively electric...Very Nice. Those two steely knives would only feed the beast. You must be livin' it up at the Hotel...Seattle? (Such a lovely place!)

Buck 110 and 112, nickel silver bolsters, drop point blades, blue indigo diamond wood. They look much bluer in real life.

That Lone Wolf in the last photo with the psychedelic black pearl is incredible. Burning it up. Great photo to capture it.

Thanks, guys.

Yeah, I'll admit it: I'm quite smitten with the smoky MOP...must be the purple haze; but, whatever it is, black pearl put a spell on me.

That's just pure beauty, right there, Ivoryman. I love smooth white bone...next best thing to, well...ivory. Very clean looking.

If given a choice, I'll choose ivory whenever possible, but smooth white bone is much less expensive and much less 'controversial' and, in photos at least, every bit as attractive IMO (some white bone, not all).

You guys have some great looking pairs in your collections, I gotta get over here more often to check out whats being posted.

These two are my most recent purchases. GEC #56 dogleg jacks, natural canvas Micarta and appaloosa smooth bone. Really good fit, finish and function on both, more than happy with these two.

Man that is two fine beauties. That bone is great, GEC's bone is killing it for me lately. Camel, Giraffe, Appaloosa, you name it. Wow that's sweet color. Great micarta too.

Pulled my GEC knives out of the safe today. I just got a replacement Ebony #13 Whip in the mail today. I was talked into selling the one I had a few weeks before Christmas. I thought I would take a few photos before locking them up.

Its triple's on everything.
