I got this Watchman Brother 1508CF VG10 Blade, Knife Carbon Fiber handle.
Very tight well made knife.
David, that is very nice. Right up my alley. Your post has me looking at the brand. Is that a pin I see going through the shield?

Reminds me of years past when I traveled Eastern KY and would ask for multiples of business cards from other sales reps I met. I would use them (business cards) when I met young ladies at the local watering hole. Had a lot of fun. Never got caught! ::facepalm::
Great knife Smitty !!! :)

Very good eye Rick, especially with my photo. I looked at it with a magnifier and yes it looks like a pin that has been ground to
match the shield. Of course it doesn't go all the way through and there is not a matching one on the other side. I don't know
why it would be needed to hold the shield in place, but there is one there.

Thanks for checking on that, David. I was hoping that the shields on these were pinned but if you don't see it on the backside then I'm not sure what to think.

I can barely imagine a knife of this price point having a pinned shield but I was hoping.

I looked it up. Fine looking knife but to me (and this is just my opinion) a little much at $42 for a knife made in China. I guess I'm just stuck in the 20 teens.

All I saw was Wharncliffe, VG-10 and Carbon Fiber and I was hooked (regardless of where it was made). ::nod::

Just received a nice Bear and Son Stag lockback today. Very nice knife for the money. Trying to help keep these small companies going the best that I can. Good lockup, nice tight blade, pretty stag, with a nice leather sheath. I'm a happy camper.. ::tu::

Those Brother knives are really pretty. If they are as good as they look, you guys have some real winners there!

Jerry I have to agree I would much rather buy those that are in the $20 to $30 range, but I just had to have a look at this one.

David, I'm absolutely sure you're right. This knife ticks almost all my boxes. ::tu::
Thank you for showing yours...I never would have known about this knife / brand otherwise. In fact, check out the "Knives I'm Contemplating Purchasing" thread and you can see the other Brother knives I'm very drawn to and seriously thinking about getting. If this Carbon Fiber Wharncliffe Watchman 1508CF proves to be a halfway decent knife, I'm all set to pull the trigger on the ones waiting in my Amazon.com cart. ::handshake::

Hey, 2 1/2 months is pretty dang good to me. For addicts that's great. And from that Bose stockman to the Weidmannsheil all I can say is you have impeccable taste when you do pull the trigger. You should feel good about lasting that long. Accomplishment. And I say this in support and comradery only, no dissing or slight at all. Ya give me some hope. Congrats and thanks for answering.

Sweet knives, all!👍

I just pulled this Leek out of the mailbox.. $16, best offer accepted on ebay.. $20 with shipping.. why are these going so cheap lately? ::shrug:: ..I understand the Chinese one's going this cheap, I bought a few for gifts, but the USA ones? I'm not complaining 😁.. it said used in the listing but was NIB upon arrival...
