Taylor, you be careful with had wonderful patina!

Nice picture, nice knife. Hope all shows well with the CT scan!!
The action on my AC lambsfoot has gotten smoother and smoother over time. It is such a nice knife. Can't wait to compare it with the 2019 ironwood.

Patiently waiting each day for the mailman... :)

My Lambsfoot, being lonely, is trying to make friends, hoping one of his family will arrive soon! Preston

Great motto: "To Succeed through Honest Endeavor"

It's the crest of Sheffield (Hallamshire) Company of Cutlers Vince :thumbsup:

Brandy and Rum sales spike in this weather. :D

Not surprised! :D
 
I'll admit, I certainly am one of those "northern folk" who surely begins to melt once it starts getting close to 80.... Hot weather and I do not get along well. I suppose that I would acclimate in short order should I reside in a climate such as yours but in the meantime, I'll be glad that my heat waves are gene
Same here! Moved from New Mexico to Oklahoma when I was 16, thought the humidity was going to kill me. Then I joined the Army and went to Georgia...though I was going to drown in the humidity! I can handle the heat ok, but throw in the humidity....hate it!
I hope to be able to chime in a bit more often.

Nice! Great score on the horn!
Sadly a rather over-exposed shot.

Nice ebony , Dave! I was afraid the train was going to hit it!:eek::D
Lovely bird! I'm putting out the wrong kind of bird feed!;):thumbsup:
 
Congratulations Dylan, that's a nice find :) Thanks for a great write-up, very attractive knife :thumbsup: I have had more than a few knives where the tangs have been cleaned so hard, they looked to have never been stamped, and even more, which I don't think had ever been stamped. It's always worth noting how the vast majority of knives were made in Sheffield, by small independent cutlers, known as 'Little Mesters' ('Mester' coming from 'Master' - a 'Master Cutler' is simply a self-employed cutler). There were also lots of small firms, with less than a handful of workers, who did contract work for the large Sheffield cutlery firms, and larger firms, who did the same. Sometimes a tang may not have been stamped by accident, or a factor may have requested that (or just to have Sheffield, England) stamped on the blade. Or the cutler might have decided to make a few knives for himself, and because he didn't have his own stamp, which most didn't, either used un-stamped blades, or ground-off the marks from blades supplied to him by one of the larger cutlery houses. It was only in his latter years that Trevor Ablett, for example, marked his blades, and then only in the form of an etch :thumbsup:

Thank you for the info, Jack. I wondered at whether or not it could have been a knife assembled by one of the Little Mesters, as you call them. Aside from its mysterious past, it really is a fine knife and one that I am very pleased to have found.

Great to see you all caught up Dylan, and relaxing on your rear porch :) :thumbsup:

I am going to aim to remain caught up. easier said than done perhaps... :D

The porch is all covered in snow at the moment. Woke up to a bit of a surprise.

Thanks for posting that, what an intriguing knife and quite a looker to

Thank you, David. I am quite pleased with it. The horn is in terrific shape considering that it is older.

That would be so great and brag-worthy. I have a small stream on my property too, but the fish are way too small to catch. I think they all swim up river as they get bigger.

As I only purchased this place earlier last year, I am still getting the feel for the area. According to some of the locals I have spoken with, there are indeed plenty of fish in the creek, though there may be better luck reeling keepers in from some of the more established holes (water moves pretty quickly through my property). I hope to do some serious creek walking this summer and I hope to find some good spots to cast a line.

The action on my AC lambsfoot has gotten smoother and smoother over time. It is such a nice knife. Can't wait to compare it with the 2019 ironwood.

That Stag is looking exceptional!

Same here! Moved from New Mexico to Oklahoma when I was 16, thought the humidity was going to kill me. Then I joined the Army and went to Georgia...though I was going to drown in the humidity! I can handle the heat ok, but throw in the humidity....hate it!

It is amazing what humidity can do. I spent some time in Mexico and had no trouble with the dry heat. Spent some time in Miami and thought the world was going to end. :D

Nice! Great score on the horn!

Thank you, my friend.
