Thanks! It's rather eerie in fact Just Buff Horn but it has some very nice swirls and blue aspects, ghostly

Ah yes, horn. I don't have any of that yet but find I'm drawn to the material. I'm on the lookout!

Quite pretty Harry! My one bucket list knife is an AB mammoth molar. Saving my pennies!

My oldest nephew graduates from high school in June so I got him this as a present. I figure I'll get his name and graduation year engraved on the back of the blade and send it off.

It's pretty and Ebony should be nice on either display or to use.

Lovely gift Chris :thumbup: Also interesting to see that book again, and for the second time recently :thumbup:

Some nice foreign blades here indeed.

Thought we'd be seeing more of Japan...

Speaking of Japan... Here's a Hiroaki Ohta FK7 in Rosewood

I realized after the other thread that it's been more than 20 years so I bought it again.

Ohta slipjoint, D2 blade.

As all things come in threes, in the 70s, in the excellent Bike Magazine, I really enjoyed reading a certain Royce Creasey' articles. He was a eulogist for "alternative biking" and he often referred to this book.
I must admit that motorcycle-wise I stopped reading when the author explains how adjust the chain on a BMW... For the rest I'm afraid I was already a bit too Cartesian... :yawn: (curiously sometime later I was given the French translation.)

Very nice :thumbup: I keep forgetting I have an Ohta friction folder (mine might be smaller)

Good stuff! I read it in 1980 or 1981, then ended up diving into Plato! Not sure I have the brain for this kind of stuff anymore!

Lovely JP :thumbup:

Yeah, that's the edition I had! Royce Creasey's name rings a bell too! :thumbup:

Since Pirsig hails from Saint Paul, I have some stories of the Brush With Fame persuasion, but they are so far off the subject of knives they are best left for another time. But I will say that I preferred his second book, "Lila", to "Zen, etc."
