Sorry to hear your back is still hurting Jack. Hopefully you enjoyed your chip butty.Good afternoon GuardiansI decided to head down to the market this morning, optimistically thinking it might help my back to move around a bit more, but I just ended up being in more pain, even when eating a lunchtime chip butty...

Wow. So cool.So I finally have a lambfoot knife. A Taylor Shark. I'm not sure. but I think this is a Stewart Taylor design. This one is from 1979. I haven't found anybody else doing one like this, and he resurrected it as the Land Shark when he obtained the Schrade name. The tang stamp says "Kingsport, Tenn", but I think it was made in Japan. In the late seventies/early eighties, and maybe beyond, Taylor had the habit of lightly etching "Japan" on the tang in such a manner that it would easily wear off. OTOH this knife looks unused. Its extremely clean with no wear whatsoever. I still think Japan, because I don't think he ever manufactured any knives in the U.S., but I suppose he could have contracted some out to one of the cutlery companies in business at the time.
This one is a pretty nice knife. Nice stag. No wobble. Half-stop. Good snap closing. A little soft opening. Walk is a little gritty. Small gaps. Blade isn't anywhere close to centered. Something different than my other knives.
And my very first lambfoot
