Thanks, Jack.
You and Steve are "twins" today with your American Black Lambs!

That is a picture worth a thousand words.

So true, Bob.

The only black knife on my rotation schedule this week is a Douk-Douk:


But I've been carrying another black knife that Bob Rufus1949 generously sent me recently.
It's a Bruckmann pen knife with black horn covers with some glorious "feathering" on each side:



It's the first knife I've handled from the Bruckmann cutlery company, and one of my favorite things about Bruckmann knives is the tang stamp with the image of a bridge (Brücke is the German word for bridge) with MANN under it. (I enjoy seeing tang stamps that use images instead of, or in addition to, text.) Thanks so much, Bob!

My pleasure Gary. The Douk-Douk is a very interesting design. I did not realize they are a French design. My first thought was north African.

Bunny Knife dinner dance. It was a Black-Tie affair. Some had a date others came single.

Bunny knife, which I carried today, and (inspired by Modoc ED posting pics of his new drop point 112) Buck 112 drop point with charcoal Dymondwood.

Is that a new one Harvey?
