I suspect there'll be a few 'salty tales' in this book, I received for my birthday ;) :thumbsup:

That book does look interesting. That cover picture looks like a Gustave Doré piece of art. Lambsfoot is pretty "arty" too!

I have a collection of about 200 comics from the late 50's through the mid to late 60's I accumulated as a kid. They are stored in protective covers in a controlled environment these days. Most are superhero comics but a lot of the early ones are more kiddie comics as I really was young one time. :D:eek:

Jack my old friend really glad you had a great birthday. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

That was certainly the best era for comic books. I should have saved mine like you did. Could have made a fortune!
Hope you feel better today, Randy.

Maybe some of the stories were strange, but they were intended as entertainment, primarily for young readers. Today there is some weird, sick stuff out there, I have gathered just by thumbing through some of them. Totally different and not in a good way.

I meant the whole notion of a Norse God and a twentieth century human being combined. It was certainly an innovative idea, and I loved the stories :)

Hmmm, yes, someone lent me a recent Batman/Joker graphic novel recently, and it was as dark as ebony! :eek:

Thanks Vince, I hope I get a chance to read it soon, I have a huge pile of books backed-up at the moment :rolleyes: Yes, it does doesn't it, I've always liked Doré's style, ever since I was a kid actually? I used to know a British artist slightly, Clifford Harper, some of whose early work had a similar style, though he is perhaps better known for the wood-cut style he developed later.

Is that a Pierre Cardin Schnitt vom Morgen? I had a couple of those and was a little disappointed that if I left it in the sun, the siliconed on metal covers would slide off.

I can't find mine, of course, but one's pictured in post 273.

Old Stumpy in olden days.

Not sure what it was called, other than it was made by Richartz. It’s already walked the plank. Love your EO Lamb.

That one was also available. I liked it and thought the lower left blade was a Lambsfoot. I just wasn’t taking any more chances.:)

It's a very odd-looking knife I think, (stretching 'Traditional' a bit too! :eek:) The blade looks like a Lambsfoot made by someone who has had one described to them over the phone, but not actually seen one! :D I don't know if they ever actually called it a Lambsfoot, but on a more traditional frame, it'd be a lot nearer than most of the Carl Kammerling ones! :eek: :D Both knives are certainly worthy of discussion here I think :thumbsup:

By Traditional standards and by Lambfoot standards, it would be considered odd looking. I see it as a post modern(almost futuristic) interpretation. Keeping the basics of both Traditionals(folding, spring, half stops, this one with excellent “walk and talk) and Lambsfoot Blade(“the spine and the edge are not parallel, slimmer than a Sheepsfoot Blade, and a distal tapering from the back to the front of the blade.”) The Richartz is not classic like an A Wright, but there are variations.

An analogous comparison would be the modernistic trend of say, Lionsteel. A number of Traditionals purists are appalled by these trends. I’m not one of them

I just think my Richartz is futuristic, post modern design of a classic pattern. After reading your article on Richartz, I just went off to the races.:) Thank you, Jack for allowing me to comment, Birthday Weekend Boy!:)

Ah, but you're making a strong assumption my friend ;) That it is an interpretation of a Lambsfoot.

I hope you don't mind me posting this pic from the PM you sent me for clarity's sake (I'm happy to remove it otherwise)?

While the fact that the spine and blade are not parallel is very interesting, and clearly a product of design, I think that if Richartz had wanted to make a Lambsfoot they'd have simply copied a Sheffield Lambsfoot. This knife may have been influenced by the Lambsfoot, but then it may very well not have been, it could have been influenced by a shoe-knife or some type of artist's knife. With it's plastic covers, and utilitarian form, my own guess would be that this knife had a specific purpose, rather than being a general pocket knife, and that what it has in common with a Lambsfoot may well be coincidental. First, we need to do more research and find out what Richartz had in mind for that knife, and what purpose it was sold for, because guesses are not enough, we need to have facts ;) :thumbsup:

Please don't get me started on those %$£&*~#?£ Lionsteel knives! :mad: Nothing wrong with the knives, just in the wrong forum :rolleyes:

I certainly see the flying bird, José! ;):cool: But I see more disturbing images just above it! :eek:
Directly above the bird's head, I see a baby with arms spread wide and his head touching the center of your top red line! And just to the baby's right (our left as we look at the photo), I see the face of a cadaverous older man with the baby's right hand obscuring the old man's left eye! Does anyone else see those images?? (I had more eye surgery last week, so my visual powers are quite compromised at the moment.)

Thanks Gary, sometimes the imagination of people is an extraordinary thing...:):thumbsup:
