Thank you kindly!Looking good David
Congrats Barrett, you received a nice one.
Snakewood has a very interesting grain....makes me think, holographic.
Yes, the 'innovations' of the Sheffield cutlery trades, in the 1970's, were not great ones. In this case I suspect the innovation was glue!
Talking of innovation!
Wow! Congratulations buddy, glad you were able to get one, looks great
Beautiful snake Barrett. I like the head on that beer too.
Thanks, Bob. I think this is my first knife with snakewood. It definitely has some interesting character.
What else could it be?
Yeah, I’m skeptical, but I’ll give it a try.
Thanks, Jack.
Thanks, Dwight. Yes, that beer did deliver in that regard.
Steve, you’re an expert finder of great old Lambsfoot examples!
Here are a couple more pics I took today of the Snakewood Albers.
Here with the Afzelia Burl.
And here’s a rare behind the scenes shot. Spring, summer and early fall are tough for pictures for me because of all the trees around our house. They limit the natural light inside (and/or tint it green), and cause problems with reflections outside. My best bet this time of year is an overcast day, or a brief period in the evening when the sun goes behind the neighbors trees and house. Even then, I have to move to the end of the driveway or into the street (a dead end, thankfully) to avoid tree/leaf reflections. Anyways… I took this pic today while waiting for the sun to go back behind the clouds.
Beautiful pic Steve

Old Man Jack !
Really impressed with the F&F on this knife. It has a reasonable strong pull and gator snap. Beautifully jigged bone and color

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone is doing well. It's a dull day here, and I'm not sure if I'll do anything. I'd like to get out, at some point, though. Think I'll have a shave, and think about it
Dwight, this is gorgeous!
Wow! That's a great looking Knife!
