I hope you can forgive me this once Jack for the non lamb.
I wanted to replicate as close as possible this old lamb tailing and castrating knife from a W Jno Baker catalogue I have. Naturally I went with Cosimo for this.
We made a couple of changes, I swapped the lamb to the primary. The size and shield ended up being bigger than I envisioned but it works quite well. It’s all carbon construction as was the original too.
I am a happy camper and you should expect to see much more of this knife!

Back to you, Daniel W. Love the large (brass?) pivot on that one.Good morning everyone hope it’s a great one.
Steve, good question. So let’s just say it needs some break in. Out of the box the pull is 8++ on the open and almost needs a hydraulic lever to start closing the blade. Other than that the action in the middle of the folding process is nearly perfectNice Twisted Lamb, how's the action on it
Beautiful knife! What kind of wood is that and what is the OAL?Good morning from Dallas, Guardians! Here’s the other newthat came across the big water — after a lengthy international DHL snafu — in Monday’s mail run:

Other than that the action in the middle of the folding process is nearly perfect. I’ve been oiling and working it out and it’s already getting better.
Sorry you're not sleeping well, Jack. Having your circadian rhythm out of kilter can really mess with youGood morning Guardians, I hope everyone's week got off to a good start.
