Like both of them Mr Gsmith. Those tusky scales are great. And the jigged isn't a slouch either. ::tu:: ::tu:: ::tu:: ::tu::

Greg, Glad to see you gave that Dogleg a good home. I struggled w/ the idea of buying both the knives that KJ had for sale. If it had been one week later, I probably would have bought both. So glad you took that temptation away. Ivory is such a beautiful handle material. That knife is crisp and clean looking and just plain elegant. The wormgrove is no slouch either.

Thanks SSk! That's my first honest to goodness custom other than a Tony Bose and I am really impressed. The ivory is definitely a beautiful handle material.

Now here is something that never happened when I was working full time. I actually got a TC Barlow on Friday. Got the email at 1:45 that they were going on sale at 3, got on at 3 picked one up and got it today Monday. Man Kniveshipfree is efficient. This one is so cute my wife is eyeing it, wish I had bought two now.
Very handsome natural bone handles. The other choice was ebony.

Rogers Bone Company sold bone to Cattaraugus that looks a lot like that. Collectors now call it Indian Trails. Maybe it was called that originally as well?

Got my first Moore Maker in yesterday. It needed a clean-up so I took it to the shop last night.
It cleaned up pretty good.

I wanted 3½" closed but neglected to read the description before hitting the Buy button. Oh well. Cheaper than lunch at Applebee's.

QS, I have to stop staring at this knife, it’s really growing on me. Once you said it has some heft, that made it soo much better to me. I like the way this knife flows.

I have that handle in a Canoe. I like kirinite because of its stability. Wish it had been around much earlier.
