Hooee!I was dealt an unusual Lambsfoot today, two bolsters, a file-worked back-spring, and pre-ban ivory covers. I picked this up a few years back, but have only carried it a few times

Thank you.That's a nice Western my friend
Definitely JerThank you.
Western did a lot of very nice stuff, for a company that seemed never to be deemed quite the top flight of the bee's knees.
Really nice Rope Knife Tom
That knife will make anyone jealous, it's an absolute beauty.
Thank you my friend, you're very kindThat knife will make anyone jealous, it's an absolute beauty.
Jer, there are other patterns, but they make them by batches, so all is not always on the shelves.Thanks. The Pradel and the queue de poisson seem to be the only styles that Sabot makes in carbon. I wonder if they have cranks like us over there who insist on it for these two patterns.
I think that's pretty cool Tom, well doneI decided to include the wall with hooks where I hang my (very) amateur mod and re-handle projects in the potential pool of choices, and count it as the 4th “drawer”. “RanInt(1,4)” returned 4 (the wall), and “RanInt(1,19)” gave me 10, which counting from the top gave me this ugly thing. I made it from a melted down HDPE detergent bottle, which I pressed in a homemade press to form a block. Not exactly what I would have chosen to showcase my lack of talent, but random is random…
Almost all the mods I did, I did without any proper tools or workspace, or even a vise, so I’m pretty happy that at least a few of them came out looking pretty decent (much better than this one anyway…)

Nothing is randomI think its supernatural attraction for my fingers may slightly erode true randomness
Random was probably the only way we might get to see a detergent bottle knife.I decided to include the wall with hooks where I hang my (very) amateur mod and re-handle projects in the potential pool of choices, and count it as the 4th “drawer”. “RanInt(1,4)” returned 4 (the wall), and “RanInt(1,19)” gave me 10, which counting from the top gave me this ugly thing.
