Thanks Barrett! They have only run the #79’s once. The Montana Workhorse Whittler, a 3 blade 3 spring, a tank of a knife, was run in 2012. The Workhorse Whittler, a 2 blade single spring, was run in 2013.That’s a good looking knife, Ron. It must’ve been a while since they’ve run that pattern; I don’t think they’ve done that one since I got into GEC, and that was 2015. I really like the big, broad spear blade.
Yeah, that bolster is something I did when I was in the midst of my rattail bolster era.The Farm Boy is one favorite GEC knives, but I’m certain I’ve never seen one with fancy bolsters!
Probably a one of a kind.
Looks like the stuff on my new TEW.The random hand of fate handed me this A. Wright & Son NAAFI Knife pattern today. These knives were originally made from surplus British Army knives after WW2, and sold on military bases. Generally, they had checkered Bexoid covers, rather than the type on this model
Looks like the stuff on my new TEW.
Random abomination:
Uneven springs, weak walk and talk on two blades, and why such fat covers? If this material needed to be this thick without liners, this is the wrong material.
Interesting departure into Buck-type individual springs.
Better luck with the rest of your day my friend
Sorry, that's a Case. I think they call it a lightweight, and I don't remember the handle material. I've forgotten who it was who had one and was going to check whether his was as bad as mine. If it were, he probably wouldn't have to double-check.Yeah, they've been using it for years in Sheffield, in slightly different forms, Jer. I don't know why they don't upgrade or at least try something different. For a city with such a history of innovation, there certainly hasn't been much of it in the cutlery industry for a long time
Whose the maker Jer? I guess the random hand of fate deals us out a bad hand from time to time
I've been very happy with all the Case knives I have. I guess we are all a bit spoiled here, and as you say, it would almost certainly cut just fine

a couple of years back Unlike like most of the modern Schrades, this one isn't an old Schrade pattern, but doesn't that blade look familiar? Jim Taylor definitely seems to have had an interest in the Lambsfoot blade. The knife is far from traditional in terms of the Lambsfoot pattern, and the nose is a little blockier than most, but it does have the non-parallel spine/edge. Showing it alongside my Hartshead Barlow for comparison purposes 
The drawer that I pulled this from today contains only Case knives. 
Not entirely random.

Thanks Jack I like it. Nice curved spine makes it comfortable in hand and so thin it goes nearly unnoticed in the pocket.
Schrade's interesting Landshark is a cool carry any day and gifted knives are always the best.
Enjoy today's selection my friend and may the remainder of your day be pleasant.
I'm happy to see The LandShark get a random carry, since it's a random sort of knife.Fate has thrown me up another interesting knife today, this Schrade 'Landshark', which was a thoughtful gift from
I think the catalog called that a coping blade.

Must remember to stir. The slim Imperial importuned on my randomness again today. The Case was a fairly recent random, so I tried again and got the Schrade.
Cool Her I'm afraid I completely forgot today
