Stunning. You are right about how he has grown in his jigging skill. The jigging on yours is closer together than his early ones and yours has uniformity but not a mechanical feel. I really like it. If he’s come this far, this fast, no doubt he will be doing some stellar work very soon.

Congrats...hope it is worth the wait. He texted me and said a problem with a machine that shorted out by a power surge is now fixed, which had caused delays.

I’m thinking of ordering a Lambsfoot very similar to yours. Is that African Blackwood? Also do you know what that shield is called? Your collection is stunning, thanks!

Hello,
The lambfoot does have African Blackwood and Willem calls the shield a Mamba Fang.
The pull is around a 6 and very smooth.
I generally ask Willem not to put a swedge on many, but that's a personal choice.
Thanks for compliment.

Thanks for the information, much appreciated. I’ve been slowly going through this thread and the gallery on the K’roo website. Now I’m really tempted to get a Lanny’s Clip.

Do you happen to have a preference the between RWL34 or N690 steel?

I really do not have a preference. I believe he may have other steels available.
A friend ordered a spey blade in 01 steel. It should be appearing here soon.

Patience is the key. Willem loses internet service at times living out in the bush of South Africa.

He also does magnacut. That’s what I ordered in my latest.
