I don't think I've posted this knife here yet. A. Wright & Son horn-handled lambsfoot jackknife that Jack Black commissioned for the Guardians of the Lambsfoot in 2017, gifted to me by @mrknife , pocket slip by @Pàdruig ! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup: Quite a bit of patina, but I'm happy the blade etch is still visible! ;) (I've named it my Lam Jack.)

5K Qs, That is a pretty little knife you got there!

I started following Jack Black a few weeks ago and stumbled upon the Guardian's of the Sheepsfoot forum (hopefully he doesn't mind) - but he sure knows a lot about these knives (and all traditional slipjoints for that matter).

Anyways - I really like the way your patina shows up. I have used a number of carbon knives and find that some (ie opinels and otter-messer knives) have that funny smelling metal after something like basic food prep; after a while, the knife just kind of turns into a dingy greyscale-like pattern.

I enjoy the Case cv steel for a few reasons:
1. no smelly metal (that sometimes carries over to food-stuffs)
2. blues show up when using for meats (I like the variety and depth of color)
3. the ever-changing patina seems more alive after each use
4. the metal is very tough and easy to sharpen

So - your picture makes the A. Wright Lambsfoot steel look somewhat similar to my case cv sodbuster; I imagine that the steels are very alike - is this your experience?
(and if so, I am gunna get me one of those!)

Guess I should probably start using my pen blade, eh? Kidding... tape and cardboard don't leave a patina. ;):cool:
Nice to have a capable pen blade for the dirty work. Never enjoyed cleaning off adhesive residue before my Apple. Great daily user :thumbsup: GEC.
