I carried this knife when my daughter was born in 2018. It holds a special place in my collection.
 
With the arrival of today's mail I have joined a very privileged group of people who own a T/C....... I've always been attracted to the simple elegance of this knife..... No big garish appendages or razzle dazzle..... Just a beautiful design that is built by the finest traditional cutlers in the world.... I feel honored to own one......

Thank you Charlie and Bill for making this 2021 run..... I hope there are more in the future so others can enjoy this piece of traditional knife history....

And for my Buffalo Buddy Charlie; "Go Bills".. We might see someone in the stands waving a Waynorth Cutlery banner!!View attachment 1493983
Congrats Brent! This was another home run...er...touchdown by Charlie and GEC!

And while I am a Steeler fan generally, it seems I get to pick a new team to root for after the 1st round of the playoffs each year. This year it is the Bills for sure. Hoping they play GB and win!
 
I've noticed that there are many variations of sawcut bone on these new TC's. Is it more desirable to have a uniform sawcut, or one that has more character? I know this is very subjective, but would like to hear your opinions.

Of all the knives posted so far I think they all look great. there is a decent bit of variety from knife to knife, and I like that each one looks a bit unique.
