These knives are decimating the world's population of faux tortoises (Testudo falsus)! We must protect them!

Beautiful Stone Worx canoe.
I can't get the Abalone ... or black Pearls, as applicable, on my Rough Rider's to show their depth like that.
What's your secret? I don't see a overall blue tint in the photo that would indicate using a black light.

The barlow, not the boker. I just noticed that it only has one of two blades left but the carbon steel is easy to sharpen.

It may self destruct some day, but I will have gotten my money's worth.

This cheapo Marbles toothpick is actually very nice. It generally turns me off when budget traditionals are overloaded with supposedly premium features (pinched bolsters, threaded bolsters, matchstrike nicks, etc.), but the overall proportions on this one are pleasing - to me this one looks like a toothpick ought to. F&F and W&T are good.

My only complaint is that it came pretty dull. Judging by the difficulty I had resetting the bevel on it (and by the fact that a nearly identical RR knife is advertised as 440B), I suspect the steel may be some flavor of 440. Or maybe not.

Got this 6247 on sale for less than fifty bucks - an A-one knife for cheap but don't let the price fool you, this knife is first rate all the way.
