Thanks, last night i spent half an hour giving them a clean and a polish. You would not believe the gunk that was in the wood from the factory, but by the time i finished has a beautiful sheen. I will see if i can get a photo that shows the difference, but may be hard. As you would know, in the hand can look a lot different to a photo. But thanks for the comments. ::tu::
Mate, these are 2 photos i took after i gave it a polish last night, hard to see the difference in the photos, but not in the cloth i used. This is a 2x2 inch piece of cotton with all the gunk on it both sides, this is from the factory out of the box, amazing.

Whoa, brautiful piece now. You been busier than a Lizard drinkin". Beautiful knife.
Thanks, i really like it, compared for what i have to pay for some knives fairly reasonable. One thing about A wright knives when you get a good one, they are good, and they are good solid work knives, which is their market. You have some beauties in your collection. Have a good week.

Swell Center Whittler, with original box and papers. Here are photos of it as it came out of the shipping box. Tight blades with no wobble, no cracks in the handles, and beautiful snap. I will be posting this in the Camillus 72 clone thread.

Got these two today. An A.G. Russell stag whittler. About 99% certain that these were made by Queen. This is my second one of these. This one is dated 1997, my other one I bought from KJ and it’s a 2007. This one has some really nice stag on it.
The second one is a GEC 19. I like this, it’s a nice size. The color is very good on this too.

Tom, Your gifts were well chosen. That stag Doctor's knife is off the chain. Outstanding.


Mark, Your Tidoute is just downright handsome due to that coloring.

Thanks Garry, I like that color too. I would have waited for some other handle materials but this one is pretty good looking.

Tom, you did get some nice ones for your birthday. I like that black Hartkopf especially.

This showed up yesterday and it belongs in three places so I'll start here.
I really like these handles and hope Case uses them again. Note it's a 2020 edition.

I just saw that a few minutes ago in the Shepherd Hill’s catalog. It’s a real eye catcher. All the patterns with that handle material are gorgeous.

I got another A.G. Russell lockback in today. This is my fourth one of these. I have this black Micarta, a white Micarta version, Chinese Quince Wood and an Aristocrat Regent in Cocobolo. All have the ATS-34 stainless steel blade. IC Cut made these for Regent and A.G. Russell. The run up on all of these is top notch and tight as they come, I really like these knives and my wife does too.

Beautiful Mark! ::tu:: I've been eye-balling ::watching_you:: the 2 you have in your store, and I'm sure I'll pull the trigger for one sooner or later! Just LOVE that black micarta! 8) EDIT: My apologies, ::facepalm:: it would seem that the 2 I've been watching, the one's with the red spacers are different models. ::shrug:: All very nice just the same! 8)
