Older 13" AGA Campolin Picklock

[texans123]

Hi Folks -

Here is an older 13" AGA Campolin picklock with some nice light colored horn scales. I've had this one a long time, bought it around 2003-04. Nice thick heavy knife, D stamped liner, nickel silver bolsters, and great blade with smooth snap and tight lockup. Forum has been rather quiet lately so thought I'd post this older Campolin.

Cheers -
Jeff

Wow that’s a gem alright. I really like how the scale has that white color with different shades mixed in. Also I love that beautiful mirror finish on the blade!

Thanks guys for the comments, glad you like it. Have another one in Buffalo horn and will post some pics soon.

Here is the 13" Buffalo horn. From around the same time 2003-04.

Both really nice, love the horn on both. How do you make them so shiny?

[texans123]

Well it's a bright sunny day here in Texas, so could be some reflection from outdoor pics. I shined up the metal on both with Never-Dull wadding polish. These both have nice mirrored blades and polish up well.

Both very nice indeed!

Excellent looking pieces.

Looks like you didn't get stuck with banana blades which were all too common in these knives. How is their snappiness?

Thanks. Yes I read an older thread that mentioned some of these had problems with banana blading. These both fire well every time, no problems. They have really good snap especially for a big knife.
