Either way
She's beautiful

Thanks, it’s a huge knife, I didn’t expect it be so large, it’s a pretty thick blade stock too but seems to have a bit of a hollow grind. The oddest thing was the flimsy little box and that string with stuff on it. I’m suprised it survived the journey.

How big is she?

How big is she?

Blade is probably 3.75 to 4 inches. I’ll get around to measuring it soon but based on my other large knives it’s a pretty good guess

Woah
Definitely bigger than I imagined

Thank you Jack. I just got a response from the maker on instagram. He confirmed it’s a sheepsfoot. I guess the seller was a bit confused. Guess I’m still on the hunt for a lambsfoot. They are surprisingly hard to find.

I'm sorry you're having difficulty finding a Lambsfoot Gus I tried to help make them more available, but it didn't work out unfortunately I hope you can find one soon Good luck

Hi Jack, yeah I’ve been reading a lot on the forums here and it’s apparent how much time and effort you’ve put into all of this. It’s quite fascinating. Does seem like there would be a good level of demand for them.

I love it when I come home and there are packages waiting for me. Look what just arrived. A book and a Dr. T.

Now I think if I can just find a decent lambfoot (I'm going to see if maybe K'roo has any or can make me one) and a Bose Wharncliffe Trapper. I would be complete. Seriously. Well, maybe a Bose stockman too. Mmm, and maybe…

I’ve posted photos of this Tom Bullard before. I’ve only owned it for about two months but it’s everything a custom should be. A 20+ year user that I’m thrilled to carry. It has a few small pepper spots on its A2 blade. They are hard to see due to the glare and my exposure. The pile side looks a little drier than the mark but a steady dose of mineral &/or lemon oil will fix that and OMG after 20 years of use the blade is a fraction of a mm off center. Lol An absolutely fantastic knife.

All together now. Beginning to look like a collection.

A Saldana pattern Dog Bone I finished over the weekend. Decided to keep this one for myself. Hollow ground A2 and Westinghouse maroon linen on this one.

Not entirely sure this fits here but here we go...

Semi-custom Lauri brand Leuku I built the handle for and just finally made the sheath for this weekend. Also used it to whittle some spatulas. Then I spent some more time this weekend starting to grind out some fully custom blades... a medium-large "sportsman" style droppoint, a couple puukko-style sloyd knives, and 2 experimental Japanese-inspired weirdos that are sort of like mini Bunkas.

Queen City #41 Copperhead, 8670 Carbon steel, OD micarta. Lot of improvement needed in nail nicks, blade centering, pull strength...
