What a beautiful Smithsonian Chief, Love to see that one when it is engraved. I would love to have a Ivory handle someday but they lock me up in jail

Better shot of the handle.
Thanks to Dave Loomis for finding me a 19 kit blade.
LOL and Duke who blindsided me by asking me to help unwrap his order part of which was....this stag 19.
thanks to the Captain for a large handled Stanaback special that is on it's way to Italy with Guido to get engraved & scrimed by Francesco! Big thanks Guido for babysitting this project for me.
Sorry forgot to take pictures before it left.
New leather case for the 19, Warlander. Looks like we came up with a good idea huh Warren? Amy had a pile of them.

Yeah no sheet. We have the original 2. Must say it was tough to spend for a zippered case for what you would pay for a knife. Consider it zippered luggage. Looks like nothing ever made or ever might. That was a great build and glad we did it as a Brothers project.

Just re-looking at your pics and posts and recalling Tom's previous post. Damn,you were swinging for the fences. You guys had way too much fun without me.

PS1: I had a great Blade too. Several knives sold.
PS2: Do tell new wardrobe?

I got to see the Stanaback and it really is killer! Can't wait to see it when it makes it back state side!

Huh?

Has anyone else taken pictures of the first Bo knife?

I would really like to see better photos, that is,
when the knife lies flat and side view without distortion

It was very nice to see a photo in color,
before I saw it only here

I've known Duke since his kids were "brand new" (Now married with kids of their own). 1st time I have ever seen him with "both" his eyes and mouth shut! RARE!!
Best, Capt. Chris

I had a GREAT Blade Show.

1. I had bought a Low S 5 before Blade, but only picked it up at Blade.
2. I bought another 5 off the Internet. When I got it at Blade, it was not a 5!!. But I traded it for a 5-7” made in 1953. I know this, as the knife has provenance
3. I bought a 5-8 from the Cap, with small sawteeth. It did not have the correct sheath.

Thanks to my good friend Mitchell, I got the superb 1953, 5-7”,with provenance from the original owner. The original Heiser sheath that looks like it just came from Heiser.

Mitchell also sold me the RBJ, for the 5-8”.

Seeing friends, great knives and having a wonderful time more than makes up for the 2500 mile round trip.
