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.

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

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'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
Nice! Great score on the horn!I hope to be able to chime in a bit more often.

Nice ebony , Dave! I was afraid the train was going to hit it!
Lovely bird! I'm putting out the wrong kind of bird feed!
They're good in warm weather too. Been drinking rum all week--well, not literally--just for a little while each evening (been in the 60s and 70s here lately; supposed to hit 82 or 83 today. That's Fahrenheit).Brandy and Rum sales spike in this weather.![]()

Makes me want to be a cutler! Probably a little late for that.It's the crest of Sheffield (Hallamshire) Company of Cutlers Vince![]()
Congratulations Dylan, that's a nice findThanks for a great write-up, very attractive knife
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

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