Hey everyone, I was at a bit of a loose end the other day, and wanted the chance to take a few photos of some of my knives, I havent had the opportunity to photograph a couple of them..so I thought...RIGHT!!...its happening...

In the end a couple of them came out nice, and some are pretty darn crappy, but I hope you find the time to take a looksee, please dont get me wrong, they arent huge dollar customs, but I think a few of them are abosolute honeys....your opinions are always most welcome-whether you like the knives or not.

I just love Stag, bone - be it jigged or not...I find it quite mesmerising looking at the colours, the style of jigging-as you guys do too Im guessing:)

Please note, you will see film and light fluff on blades-thats just a thin coat of Mineral oil.

Here are two nice examples of Stag...I am quite atteached to both of these knives..they do a lot of your smaller everday work-the reprofiled blade of the pruner is a garden knife, and my G.E.C is my favourite edc..



Schatt & Morgan Premier Muskrat...this thing has lovely bone, and jigging..this is one very cool knife! :)





Case Classic 6391 large sleeveboard splitspring whittler, this knife is a big knife, over 4&1/2 closed, the bone is just incredible..A real nice knife in my opinion, shown with a lovely Standard Knife-Case bros trapper, and an Antique Bone Trapper, Antique bone Queen Stckman, and my lovely little Primble..this is one hell of a nicely made knife...I am very attached to this lovely little knife



Very nice jigged bone :thumbup:, very nice colour..very nice wee knife!





My favourite Old queen Trapper, lovely old Bone, most awesome old blades.



Cases good old workers, a '79 full sized Soddie, and single bladed Trapper, both in real nice cond-the trapper does have small spring pin cracks-this is ok, its a great knife :thumbup:



I love Uncle Henrys ( U.S.A made )



And I realy love my Old Timers...these knives are SUCH good knives!!

I love it, I always wanted one, and I've got to send it back

从 BladeForums.com 作者：jujigatame

One of those truly frustrating things that happens with knives is getting one you've really wanted and having the excitement snuffed out because there are issues that require sending it back to get fixed.

On the day after Christmas I ordered a S&M File & Wire Cotton Sampler as my birthday/Christmas gift for myself. Came in yesterday. Took it out, unwrapped it, looks great at first blush. This is a knife I've wanted to try ever since I saw it first come out, a knife I could never totally put out of my head, so I was really jazzed to finally be getting it.



I run my finger along the edge to gauge the edge and feel something odd. It's like there's a wave to the edge near the tip. The edge isn't really biting sharp so I keep my finger on it for a few more passes. Yup, there's definitely an irregularity there. I look over the blade more closely and find the main grinds on each side aren't even, the shoulders don't match up. One side is ground more deeply, like it was leaned on harder at the grinder. The edge bevel is also not even from one side to the other but it's opposite of the way the main grind is off. The side with the shallower main grind had a larger edge bevel and vice versa.


That spot where the edge bevel gets narrow is where I can feel the wave. The edge is not totally straight from end to end. There's a small curve in there. Rather defeats the purpose for a wharncliffe/sheepsfoot blade. At best it was just ground poorly. At worst the blade is a bit warped. You can also see the burr left at the tip.


This shows how far past center the edge bevel goes on one side compared to the other. I know it's blurry, but try to follow the line of the edge from the tip back toward the pivot. It's off pretty much the whole way.

Very much bothered by the blade I close the knife back up and look over the rest of it. Oh, what's that on the tang? Some left over polishing compound or gunk? No. It's actually a gouge out of the metal on the top and another on the bottom.


Almost looks like it was twisted off whatever it was cut out of and the bits that got left behind weren't noticed.

Also, the backspring is not as strong as I think it should be. Pulls pretty easy out of the handle but it's much too easy to push down from the open position. Maybe a 4 out of 10. Considering it's a big broad blade and has a half stop I think it should be 7 or 8. I want that added measure on the back end because with so much blade to pinch opening it up isn't a real issue.

I called Queen and will be sending the knife back to them come Monday. I hope they can make it right. Considering these are limited run models I don't know if that means they have to try to repair the knife rather than just replace it with a better example off the shelf. Truth be told, I don't want this particular blade repaired because of the large defects at the tang. I would want it replaced.

For the S&M brand, and the File & Wire series especially, this really is not the quality I've come to expect. Compared to my CB Morgan gunstock the blade on the sampler is pretty poor. Kinda ends the year on a sour note knife-wise. Here to hoping it's return in 2011 will be better.

Back at the Blade Show earlier this year Rick and I got to talking about this and that and he asked me if I'd be interested in a prototype shadow stockman he intended to build based upon the pattern as built by Reese Bose.



I didn't have to really give the question any thought before giving Rick a definitive "yes" and then settling in to count the days until he had the opportunity to build the knife.



This is (to my understanding) Rick's first three blade knife. I know that the project gave him pause on a few occasions as it presented some new challenges to be met. I tried to be as encouraging as I could and told Rick not to sweat the small stuff. (I'll let him fill in any details concerning his feelings about and approach to the project.)



The knife hit my mailbox today so Smoky and I trudged a half mile down through snow, slush and ice to pick it up. The images you will see are taken immediately upon opening the box to take advantage of the remaining light. (So, in other words, I didn't get a chance to clean or wipe the knife down. It looks even nicer now that I have. ;))



Some stats:



Pattern: Stockman

Length: 4" closed

Weight: 3 1/4 ounces

Steel: 154-CM @ ~ 60 Rc

Scales: Green Canvas Micarta



I am very happy with and impressed with Rick's effort with this knife. The walk and talk on all blades is excellent, the springs and tangs align in all three positions and there is no blade rub (that I'm aware of).

Thank you, Rick, for your time and effort on this project! :thumbup:



I'll let the images do the rest of the talking. As always your comments and observations are welcome.
