Nice pic! I keep forgetting what a niece piece of ironwood that was!

Thank you Dave! I have a fair amount of ironwood and it's probably the best I have.

Unmarked cast aluminum handle. Probably a WWII Frank Barteaux GI KNIFE?







The knife feels great in the hand, although rather cold to the touch. Obviously the sheath wasn't up to the task; I don't know if it is the original. Thanks for watching. T-A

This just in today! A new 2.75” Horsewright Paisano in AEB-L and Ironwood, with a spare sheath. I’m sharing this everywhere people might care

I'm guessing that the long one is an agricultural tool, and that the short one was home-made from a piece of machete.

Tobacco or cane chopper probably.....

Tobacco or cane chopper probably.....

Good ideas. I'd lean toward tobacco, because it seems pretty light and thin for cane.

Tobacco knife was my assumption.

I've seen hatchet and sickle type tobacco knives on long handles before. Tobacco knives seem as variable as corn knives.
Looks like I still need a "tobacco spear".

Don't know what it is but that knife is very appealing to me.

Thanks David, I like it a lot

This home-made knife from Saturday appears to be the reason I bought the empty Schrade sheath all those years ago.

The strap was too short at first. Wonderful how nylon stretches.

I threw out the home-made leather sheath. Pretty grubby and vermin-eaten.

Me again!
I dug put my old GRs. The new clip point isn't as much longer in the blade than the regular one as I'd thought.
Having ground off the handle curves decades ago so I could slide on the guard, I think I'll inlet the tang into a new handle that's curved and a little longer.
The old Dadley has a clunky handle because I wanted to enclose the whole tang (also decades ago). I think I'll be happy with it when I've flattened the forward swell on three sides and rounded off the butt.

The new ones are a lot thicker than the regulars.

I think this is a beautiful knife. I've seen some not very helpful reviews of it: "It's made in China".

It's heavier than it might be, but sometimes I like that. I don't scamper over so many mountains that weight is a major issue.
