I'll have to see about including some foreign shipping on those.

Mr.Albers, am I correct in thinking that my Red Trout pictured above is a sheepsfoot? Thanks!

Yes, that was made with the last batch of parts from the Canal Street Cutlery II venture. It was actually the very last order with me supplying all the handle material, hence the rainbow of choices. I can never just settle on one or two handles per batch...I have issues.

We/I never did anything like a lamb foot knife. The one I'm working on now is the first I've been involved with.

Thank you Sir! I can assure you that I have my share of issues as well!
I do look forward to future endeavors.
Cheers!

Can I just paint the butt end of the knife silver for you? Or better yet maybe glue some aluminum foil to it?

Eric

cmon ea42 think of what that would do to your quality control! End caps! End caps! end caps!

Love that wood. Looks a lot like the Leopard Wood he used on this Red Trout, but with a lot more character.

Now, now, mrknife - endcaps on a Lambsfoot?!

 

[Let'er Buck]

Anything fossilized I’m in for.

yes!!!! thats probably the only thing snakewood lambfoot was missing

 

[Let'er Buck]

I will get one of these this time, I swear. Missed the last 3 drops but I’ll be ready this time!

 

[Ernie1980]

Maybe I will be in the right place at the right time this drop! I got in the first two and none since!

Awareness and timing. I hit two of the last three drops and the one I missed was all about awareness. Good luck gentlemen!

Spalted white oak burl, fossil wildebeest bone, Arizona desert ironwood burl, and shadow pattern canvas micarta.

Eric

Canvas Micarta shadow pattern sounds very cool.

 

[Let'er Buck]

Canvas Micarta shadow pattern sounds very cool.

For someone who has never had any of Albers micarta, is it polished? For example I’m a big fan of GEC linen because it’s polished but do not like canvas because it’s texture. Where does Albers micarta land on the texture spectrum?

I don’t know how he finishes canvas Micarta, I was just excited about the shadow pattern part.

 

[Snodgrass]

I missed the last two drops because the site wouldn't take my Canadian address. Have you fixed that or should I use a proxy next time?

Think I’ll carry this beauty for the weekend. Happy Friday pals!
