8) Earl, I love it, it's a perfect knife for me. It won't leave the pocket for a while. ::tu::
It's just about everything I want in a knife, I really like the scales on it, they just FEEL great. ::nod::

I'll be testing it more and more, I really want to see what this knife can do, it had a razor edge out of the tube, so I have a feeling it'll be a great cutter. ::pray::

How are you liking yours?

Been in my pocket since I got,cleaned it,oiled it AT LEAST 5 times...LOL. Like you said love the feel of the bone handles. ::tu::

Imagine those handles with some pocket wear,smooth out the edges,darken up a bit,sure to be a classic imho

I was blessed with the opportunity on this beautiful knife from Bob Andrews at http://www.oldhundredcollectibles.com.
This knife is an EDC model, so it's not perfect, the shield has a little gap.....and yeah, thats it. Besides from a little cosmetic issue, it's perfect. 8)

Great knife, scales are beautiful on this one, a little thicker than my Red Wine, but I love'm. ::groove::

TJ, I enjoy just trying to take a nice pic, if I get one, thats okay too. :roll:
I'll taek the pics, and you sing the song, we'd be a perfect duo. :mrgreen:

Buckeye, Thanks.
I found them laying around the barn and figured they may come in handy some time. ::tu::

Earl, as long as I have your competition for Vikings picture needs, I'm gonna keep trying to get better. ::sneaky::
I'm loving the Elk.

This knife is very special to me, it's been carried one day, so no, we don't have a good story.... yet.
This knife was a B-day gift from my Mom, (and yes, she's the best in the world ::tounge:: .) it's an early gift, but these knives were flying off the shelves, plus my Mom loved the Elk scales too. ::smirk::

Earl, Johnny, Trand, Monk and all you other folks have quite a collection!
I need to sneak-a-peek a little less often to ease up on the wallet ... y'all are killin' me!

Here's an Elk I couldn't resist (after viewing member photos here) and put it in immediate rotation. I love the size, weight and feel of this one.
