The TRADITIONAL sunday picture show!!!!

Thanks Lloyd. It's waxed cotton, doubled up through the tube. I meant to run waxed leather cord through the tube, but I couldn't get it to fit.

Jolipapa thank you for the insight. Most interesting & sobering. That 'new' edition is a really impressive piece, real homage to authenticity:thumbup:

Regards, Will
 
Truly remarkable work Alain, I don't think I've seen more complex work on a contemporary knife. Those Fisherman knives of Herrero are reminiscent of the Sportsman genre from Sheffield in its golden age. Then that Zeppelin! :D They must cost an absolute fortune but are works of art. You say he's one of the top 5 cutlers in France? Are there others of similar skill and interpretation? :eek: Astounding artistry, thanks for giving us the link.

Regards, Will

The best vendetta story will remain Prosper Mérimée's Colomba. You will never see this knife with the same eyes after reading it... :eek:

That looks interesting my friend, I shall read it when I get a chance :thumbup:
 
Happy Sunday to all. I've got a bit of sharpening to do this afternoon.

 
Many thanks to my Brother Lyle, for taking me under his wing, sharing his vast knowledge and a few of his treasured Farmers jacks.

Have a great Sunday folks.
Best regards

Robin, love those Farmers Jacks, wonderful vintage knives.

Rob, love the Fish Barlow but that Keen Kutter is amazing, great pictures as usual.
 
A fine selection of knives being shown this Sunday :)

I'm a third of the way through the book already, and though only still reading the introductory chapters, it's interesting to see that in 1840, the practice of giving a coin of small value in return for a gifted knife, was so well established that it did not need to be explained at length by the author.

Miss Nevil kept the dagger, and to avert the danger consequent on giving instruments that cut or pierce to a friend, Colomba insisted on receiving a soldo in payment.
