Weekly knife budgets are actually a figment of my over zealous imagination Jeff!Your dad sounds a lot like my dad with that sense of humor! I would really love to have given my mom and dad something on my birthday. A hug would have been nice! We’ve enjoyed the visit but two weeks passes fast and she’s headed back to Metropolis on Saturday!
That's good to hear RussellI'm doing OK thanks my friend
That's very interesting indeed, I wonder if it's some kind of pressed wood or wood-laminate, designed to simulate jigged bone? There was a lot of experimentation with covers in the 60's and 70's, as Sheffield manufacturers tried to cut costs, or sources of more traditional materials dried up. It looks to have been nicely made, and is similar in appearance to A. Wright's Lambsfoot knives. After 1947, the Nowill mark was used by F.E. & J.R. Hopkinson Ltd, though they mainly produced/sold fixed blade knives. After 1988, Jack Adams acquired the mark. Adams have only ever produced fixed blade knives, but sell folders they have made for them, produced for some years by Wright's
Woah!Jack, I don’t think I could sleep knowing I’d gained a whole POUND!
Have a great day at the market Jack.Same here my friend
A pleasure Russell, be interested to learn more. They have used all sorts of stuff for knife handles over the years in Sheffield. I used to know a cutler who, in the early 90's, was hafting knives with a material he had become familiar with from the handle of his fishing rod!
Good Morning Guardians, I'm off down to the market shortly. I'm usually down there already at this time, but with the kids going back to school here, I thought I'd travel a little later. Hope everyone has a good day. Take care and stay safe Guardians
