Lovely handle!

My initial assumption was that the covers were some kind of plastic because black isn't a very typical color for jigged bone, but they are.

This is a vintage Boker tree brand barlow that I acquired along with the IXL.
It originally had tortoise shell acrylic covers, there was a problem with the pen blade so I deleted the pen blade and recovered it with European red deer stag.

It's the same length as a typical barlow, but it's a lot narrower which I really like.
In a single blade It's quite a sleek slim knife that's especially pocket friendly.

This is what it looked like before.

Nice handle, but I guess, Maserin hates Opinel.

I don‘t care.

Last time i used it has been in Luxemburg, in a lower-city reataurant.

We had a steak and my girlie‘s knife has been so blunt, you could have ridden bare a..ed to Hamburg on it.

Happy „wife“, happy life…

Opinel knives have never tempted me because the thick round handle does not work for how I carry a knife.
However I recently had the opportunity to acquire this customized no.10 and could not pass it up. It was customized by a fishing lure / hard bait maker.
This is one folding knife I can be okay with just collecting and not carrying.


Being that it's a French knife I probably should have pictured it with one of my Mitchell / garcia spinning reels, but the Shakespeare royal maroons are greatly superior and I like them far more.

Nice idea! I mean, it looks just great to me. Is it airbrushed?

I don't actually know his bait making/ painting process, but it does look airbrushed.
Conveniently from what I've seen from makers with YouTube channels is that most of the colors are airbrushed, and details like the black stripes would be applied with a brush.

A tiny keychain knife by Imperial cutlery out of Prov RI that I was gifted years ago.

Today I replaced the rust stained white plastic covers with some scraps of red stag.

Ive rotated an old small Stockman Old Timer ( model 340) in and out of my pocket for years. Last week I upgraded it to a Uncle Henry model 834 ( same knife but the stagalon handles and stainless blades from prob late 90s).

Ive always been fond of the Uncle Henry line because as a little kiddo I actually had an Uncle Henry down in Ragland, Alabama that we used to visit in the summers. Now it joins some of the other UH knives in the rotation
