And to all who were willing to make it a reality.

My wife and I arrived home from NYC late Tuesday night. We'd taken the train down to see the "Play it Loud" exhibit at the MET, catch a Broadway show, meet some relatives visiting from Santa Barbara, and eat some good food (and walk 30 miles in the 5 days we were there!).

We were welcomed home by a new Granddaughter, born the afternoon of July 2nd. Mom and baby are both fine and dandy! The little one surprised us, as she wasn't due for another 9 days.

I also found a great surprise in my mailbox! A Stag Heartshead Barlow, straight from Jack Black's kitchen table! Wow! What an awesome knife, Jack! A. Wright and Sons hit a grand slam on this one, with your help I'm sure. This one might just have my granddaughter's name on it!

Thank you my friend across the pond!

Congratulations on welcoming a new baby and a new knife. :)

Congratulations on both counts, Gary.

I stumbled across this a few days ago. A purveyor of fine woodworking tools is selling a Sloyd knife styled after an example illustrated in the 1892 edition of “The Teacher’s Hand-book of Slöjd” by Otto Salomon.

Look familiar?

Indeed! Good eyes!

We had a brief discussion about it a couple of years ago and about whether there are other traditional fixed-blade knives with a lambsfoot blade. I don’t recall there being another one that was such a good match.

For a modern, one-of-a-kind take on the fixed blade Lambsfoot, check out Guardian @Cambertree’s excellent Lambshank. You can find some posts about it in this page of the index.
