JP, they're all superiffic but that 23 makes a wonderful canvas for a re-handle and it's fat enough for a special pin or tie-tac as a shield.

Here's an example that Glenn did for me.

And then one he did for one of his relatives.

Great idea, that 23 is a stout one but the handles don’t do anything for me. And those 2 you posted that Glenn did really personalizes them, and the work he does is amazing Hmmmm, Now you got me thinking ::hmm:: .Thanks Jerry ,have a good one ::handshake::

Go get 'em tiger. Glen does fantastic work but because he does fantastic work, he's always as busy as a cat trying to cover shirt in the middle of the hard-road. But don't despair, there are several others here that do a bang up job. In fact I currently have one out with Jeff getting some new covers. ::tu::

I got these in this week.

A Craftsman 9494 to add to my Craftsman collection and also a Camillus 72 Clone. It has the oval stamped Craftsman Shield with the brown delrin handles. The blades are tight with no wobble and great snap on all blades. The blades have the original luster but do have some spotting and small scratches. Haven't done anything to it other than oil the joints. May do some light cleaning on it later.

Next, also adding to my Craftsman group, a Craftsman Stainless 9553. It has the Stagalon style handles with what I call the embossed Craftsman shield. All blades are tight with great snap, and have very few scratches.

Thanks, the photos do not do it justice. It has the look and feel of an old stag handle that the old Trappers/Hunters would have had. It does not look factory machine made, it looks like it was made my someone out of a piece of antler that they had hunted. And i reckon it will only get better with carry and use. This is my first Northfield and second GEC made knife, they are just to difficult for me to purchase, so i do not even try anymore, i just admire all the photos posted. I only managed to get the 2 i have by other peoples generosity and being in the right place at the right time. Got an SFO from one of the living legends in the knife world by his generosity, and i value that knife so much. I love the knife that you posted from Frank's knives. I pondered about getting one, but pondered too long ::dang:: , but the one you posted just oozes quality. Have a good weekend mate. ::handshake::
