African Buffalo Horn on both. The TEW is an exquisite folder - a description that is rare for me with Sheffield folders 😄 - it was made by a fella I know who used to work there, as was the previous MOP 2-blader yesterday.

The other is made by South African maker friend Ig Loubser (lives, works in UK now) and is the only maker I know to do tapered liners………his ingenuity and craftsmanship is off the scale.

Those folders sound incredible! The craftsmanship on the TEW and the Ig Loubser piece really shows how much skill and attention to detail goes into custom blades. I love seeing makers put their own twist on traditional designs like tapered liners.

Great combo, lovely pic.

That Beaver Tail looks a lovely folder, don’t think I’ve ever seen one this side o’ the pond. Also, it looks just like Charlie’s Bison Belly with an extra blade……..yup, gorgeous 👍🏻

Thank you! I think that Beaver configuration looks good on any knife they make. Same #88 pattern as Bison Belly, yeah. I have no idea how to use it comfortably rather than making parallel cuts with both blades open. 😅
