Unforeseen circumstances left me out of a job at the end of the school year, but I’m happy to have found an alternative teaching job. Preparing for my first class; a summer intensive beginning in July! My trusty AC is helping me stay sharp.

Those Wood Hartshead Barlows are extremely nice looking Knives!!
Well done to the owners of them and Jack for being the creator!
My Stag AC is in my pocket today - it took just a few sharpens to really sharpen up to a real nice edge! Have a great day everyone!

Ok guardians i need some advice. My new lambsfoot is beautiful but it is so hard to open (ive flushed with oil and blown with air hose) and with how thick the stag is i get a bad angle on the nail nick. Im thinking about adding an easy open notch and hopefully be able to pinch it by the tip. I guess my question is A. Should i do it. And B should i put it as far to the tip as it can go to get the most leverage and will look the most natural? Or have it in line with the nail nick? Im leaning towards the end of the handle. Any thoughts or anything im not thinking about? Im thinking centered at the pencil point and the notch not exposing the tip.20210629_175642_copy_756x1008.jpg
 
Was hoping to have my sharpener project finished today, hit a couple of hurdles and needs some re-jigging. Had to go back to the drawing board, i'm pretty sure i have worked a way around the issue. Not a big deal, i have had to wait for the Tru-Oil finish to cure properly anyway. 🤷‍♂️ :)

No! No! No! :eek: Have a look in the thread index for advice on making the blade easier to open. Adding an EO notch will mess up your Lambsfoot, and should only be done as a last resort :thumbsup:

Eric, Thats one thing i was worried about heres a pic of the blade open. View attachment 1591866

Not saying you should do this, but just wanted to share what I did on my English Jack.

That one was a nail breaker and per another member's suggestion, I took a very small file and just slightly rounded off the closing torque point behind the kick. This gave me enough to start the opening of the blade and then I could better adjust angle of nail to continue opening the blade fully. Don't round off too much or you might lose the blade snap when closing. Just a little at a time.

On mine, I needed to use a blade key/pick to open before and now I can open it without the key.

Good luck!

Man oh man oh man oh man!!!!!! I think if you go that route, you'll be courting disaster. Just give it more time. Oil it again and work it some more. While you're sitting in your chair watching TV, open it over and over and over and then do it some more. Follow Jack's Jack Black Jack Black advice and checkout the index.

Oh, if yer thumb nail looks anything like your finger nails,:eek: let your thumb nail grow out and toughen it up.

Another Oh - Invest in a metal blade opener.

That's a fine looking knife. I'd be a shame to ruin it with an easy open notch.

This can work. Just be darn sure you take the metal off the end of the tang NOT the kick and the blade has to be fully open. Rachel r8shell r8shell has experience with this - I think.

My new arrival! Ive been waiting since april, and i have to say i think it was worth the wait. Awsome stag, smooth action, a few gaps here and there but nothing bad. The pull it pretty stiff but hopefully will ease up a bit with some oil and use. I still dont know if it will knock my hhb out of my pocket but it will surly ride along for a few days! Happy monday guys, now on to the pictures!View attachment 1591260View attachment 1591259View attachment 1591258View attachment 1591256

That's a really nice one! How did you manage to score one with such good stag?
