Oh I know. Herb is plain and simple a great guy!

Hey guys!
Do we consider Herb to be a knife mechanic who we'd send our knives to for repair and/or embellishments like we do with Bill or Kaleb? We are good friends and he has helped me greatly in receiving certain knives I can't get myself, but I've not considered him a mechanic, more of a tinkerer/minor repairs man. Thx!

I sent him a small pen knife for parts once and he fixed it and sent it back to me so I think of him as a mechanic. He's just good at keeping a "low profile".
But we have spotted him.

Drop him a pm, he is an upright and honest fellow. Ask him what he's comfortable doing.

Thanks guys!
As I said, Floyd, we're good friends and we talk regularly, but our talks don't include stuff like his status as a knife maker/repairman/mechanic, etc.
He has told me he use to work with watches, and with a watch being so delicate I guess I just never figured his work on rough and tough knives would be extensive, but now I know.
Thx again men!

Sort of matching?

Killer blues in there Q. Wkat a pair.

Thanks to Corn Creek Cut I have finally kind of found a match for my favorite cattle horn covers on this Italian Campolin automatic lever lock. Although the match is a Spanish Muela manuel LBack. Thanks again CCC. Love the Muela. Killer horns.

Great knives there, dog! Never heard of Star Brand. Any idea the approximate year of those?
