Chickenman the file work on the Taylor Eyewitness is a nice touch.
Ridgegrass that Wosenholm is a classic looking knife.


I’ve added a few Barlows, mostly GEC but haven’t gotten them photographed yet. I did get this A.G. Russell gentleman’s barlow with black lip pearl added recently.
That there is one beautiful knife, Mark, checks all the boxes for me, for sure. ::tu::

J.O'.
That's a nice one, J.O'. I had a Kutmaster once with a mixture of carbon and stainless blades.
I guess when they are transitioning, they use what they have.

Taylor Eye Witness curved Barlow with stepped bolsters.

Logo on bolsters and etch on blade.

Composite handles, I think, but you could convince me they’re ebony.

Sweet!
I really love the full blade etch and the double shields, both give a classic Boker look!

As do I, buddy, it's gorgeous. ::tu:: I have a couple of Rough Rider's with App-bone used for covers, and it looks great on them too, might be one of those materials that naturally adapts to looking good on knife handles no matter what knife they're installed on. ::shrug:: ::hmm::
