This is a new to me half congress by Reese that I simply couldn't live without. I had to share it this morning. When Reese thinned down the bone on the shield side, some nice color was exposed that really complements this piece. Very unique rem. bone configuration. I am glad to have the opportunity to own this... It will sit nicely next to the pearl one...

Hope you guys like it... Great Job Reese !!!!

Hmmm... Guess no one was interested in my photo...

I like the knife anyway myself. Great job Reese.

Sorry Bob! Self absorbed here. What is the size of that jewel? I do like the dark caramel color of the bone where it was worked down. Workmanship is outstanding as usual!

Bob, that is a great size for every day carry and getting a job done. All of the knives I've seen from Wilfred works are scary sharp (just the way I like them). I always take the bandaid which comes with the knives as a challenge and a reminder to not have to use it. It has worked so far. I think I could lather up and shave with my latest Bose treasure and it has the snap of a Croc although I don't snap mine but let it down easy unless my thumbnail breaks off. It is a weeks vacation for my mind every time I get a box from those guys. I just really can't get over the workmanship and the care taken to make everything right every time. Enjoy your new knife and just make a meal of it every time you touch or see it.
