I’ll probably duff it all over the place. Got to clear the rust. Thanks, Bob. This knife was a kind gift fromMemories on the course. Great!!
Very nice grain and filing Paul.
Thank you kindly! And I agree with you - having used that little Lamb extensively for the past few weeks, I think it is a great steel for traditional knives. I just love how it takes a fine edge, how well it holds it and responds to stropping. It acts almost like a high carbon steel, while being stainless. Just love it!Great lookin lamb, Willem. I think AEB-L is great stuff. If someone is looking for stainless I don’t know you can do much better in a traditional.
I couldn't agree more Dave, having used that little Lambsfoot extensively for the past few weeks. I just love the steel, love the edge it takes, and I love how well it responds to just a stroppingBecause it likes me.
AEB-L is easy to work, has good corrosion resistance, adequate wear resistance when hardened above 60 HRC, and excellent toughness, allowing thin geometry without compromising edge stability. Grind it thin, cuts like a laser, sharpens in a heartbeat.
Cool all-round Dave!Good Tuesday morning, Guardians. I had a fun productive work trip to Hollywoodland last week. Here’s a photo of Dorothy’s Rainbow from Oz on the Sony Columbia studio lot. View attachment 3165979

Do you think the blade might have been re-polished Dan, hard to tell from the pic?Partly because of the condition, although I know that is not a good indicator. Partly because of the kick, although SteveC says that none of his IXLs have a square kick. Partly because there is no stamp on the blade. A lot of Wostenholms I have seen have IXL stamped on the blade. These factors combined and really just the general feel and appearance of the blade?
Definitely not questioning your estimate and reasoning. I have very little experience or knowledge re Wostenholm other that what I read in my reference books.
I just paged through the Wostenholm section of my Sheffield Exhibition Knives and not a single square kick, so I am out to lunch on that one.
The knife does have steel bolsters, so I believe your estimate of 1930s makes the most sense.
Thanks for indulging me in this.
Fantastic character SteveMornin Guardians! Hope y'all have a good day. All this IXL talk got me to dig this one out to carry today

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone is having a good week. I have a week tasks to perform indoors today, but hopefully, I'll manage to get out at some point. Wolfie should be back from his family vacation in Holland, so I might give him a ring. He had to go straight back to work, so he'll probably be too busy to escape for a coffee, but maybe we can meet up later in the week. Carrying this Twisted Assisted Lamb today. Have a good one Guardians
