Yeah, I don't think we had many Chinese goods in the West in the '50s. I remember a lot of "Made in Japan" items in the '60s.

I think your right John if I remember right, there was cutlery from England and Germany. Large appliances from the USA and I think some smaller appliances from all three countries. Gizmos and such from Japan How things have changed...

To knife matters: just looking at pictures of Travman's haul at the GEC R.V. Very impressive Ivory/White Bone TC Ancient and I thought how Ivory Smooth Bone would look fantastic on a Lambfoot:thumbsup: Plus you don't have to jig or dye it as such. Other materials such as polished Natural or Burgundy Micarta would suit the knife very well too I reckon. Tough yet attractive stuff, like the pattern.;)

I don't think the contemperary Sheffield cutlers make enough use of bone, and where they do use it, for the most part they don't use it very well. Trevor Ablett was using quite a bit of smooth camel bone in the few years before his retirement. It looked quite good, less so when he tried jigging it. Maybe I'll mention it to Wright's sometime :thumbsup:

farex! thats a good one.:p Sounds like we were in the same neighborhood, As far as pocket knives I received mine when I was 5 for my birthday. It most likely was made in China, it had a picture of a Canadian Mountie on horseback. I was very excited and went outside to show some of my friends. Two older kids came along and wanted to see it, that was the last time I saw it, bummer.:(
Sure am glad you re discovered the lambsfoot:thumbsup:

Your knife was almost certainly made by Richards of Sheffield Dave. They made several patterns using the same Mountie image. There is a Richards thread you could resurrect. Richards never produced a Lambsfoot pattern though.

Well then, all these years I was thinking it was made China. :oops: Thank you for the information, who knew that Mountie knife actually has a heritage good stuff.:thumbsup::D
 
Was carrying the Horn Mini yesterday as I sharpened it up very nicely. It cut lemons, opened steak packages, cut raw and cooked steak for the cat, took some cuttings too and was most unobtrusive in the pocket. No new pic as I have a camera less life for the moment ;)
