That must be just one of the tools!!!

I asked him if he would share his secret. That was his polite response. I would imagine something else is involved.

After spending a little extra time in customs, my Lambfoot by Cosimo made it in today! I am absolutely blown away by the craftsmanship of the knife! And the jigging! Just wow!!! After seeing the beautifully jigged lambfoot that Rufus1949 had done, I had really high expectations... And Cosimo has exceeded them in every regard. Everything from the finish on the blade, to the rat tailed bolster, to the pull is just perfection! The knife features an RWL34 blade and jigged, Westinghouse Ebony "Tortoise" Paper Micarta covers.

Big thanks to Bob for being the inspiration to have this made, and HUGE thanks to Mr. De Benedetto for making this happen! The weather has been horrendous here lately, so some indoor pics (that unfortunately don't do the knife justice) will have to do for now.

You created a beautiful design Brian.

Glad you can now appreciate Cosimo's talents.

Beautiful knives and a real pleasure to be a part of the pals lamb.

Is that Baklava you’re eating?

 

[Will Power]

Fixall Really like not only the jigging but the use of that particular Micarta, the effect is beyond impressive

Thank you Jack, the generosity behind it is one of the reasons it will always be so special to me It IS Baklava, though I must confess, it's an old pic

 

[Fixall]

Thanks guys. I’m pretty stoked with how it turned out. Cosimo does some of the finest jigging I’ve seen.
