On a serious note, did we ever decide if this pattern was going to get half stops or a cam tang?

No, but Bill Howard will decide for us.

 

[eveled]

Sigh……

 

[waynorth]

No, but Bill Howard will decide for us.

Just like he always does!!!

 

[TheJon]

No, but Bill Howard will decide for us.

As he always does As they say "Bill knows best" but not that I think WE are deciding, I was more curious if there was a consensus on what it likely was?

 

[Nature Boy]

Depends on whatever pattern we decide it is, I guess?

I don't know if there is a consensus, but it would be kind of nice to have a cam tang main and a half stop secondary.

Love that cam tang on the 38 whittler

Generally I'm in camp cam tang but having one of each would be great.

sounds like "humplestiltzkin" to me. you sure you aren't pulling all of our legs?

Close but according to my research*
The Porchenberg tale of Humpy Lumpback predates the Brothers Grimm Rumpelstiltskin by several hundred years....this FACT**
is apparent from this illustration...
which clearly shows the later version of the character using a Cosgrove Whirlwind spinning wheel with patented bobbin threader and double sprung returning treddle.
These revolutionary adaptations didn't appear until the mid 1800s... Humpy Lumpback is a darker more medieavil character.



* a lot of made up gibberish.
** Fallacious Account Claiming Truth.

Jon, looks like a self portrait to me.

 

[GaiusJulius]

Half stops all around on an exotic beastie like this one. Cam tangs are boring! (And I already have plenty on my favorite knives.)

 

[jc57]

Jon, looks like a self portrait to me.

Does bear a strong resemblance, don't it?

 

[meako]

Yeah thanks guys... at least the teeth are accurate....

 

[gruntmedik]

Are we there yet?

Ol’ Humpy saw his shadow

Meako spinning tales again

 

[Epicurian]

Half stops would make ‘Ol’ Lumpy lumpier…

 

[Alex.Y.]

Ol’ Humpy saw his shadow

Hope not, lol.

How does my life go by so fast when the clock in here doesn't seem to advance at all?
