Perfect and thought-provoking, the removal of the lad's left arm.


Such good stuff, Charlie. Thank you.

Touching Charlie, been nice to follow this :thumbup:
 
Good stuff Charlie. Just having the tube with that tribute of a label on it is enough reason for me to purchase a knife...or two....or three. Thank you sir.
 
Good eye, Sarah!

Thanks for letting this touch you everyone!!

Here's the man himself, self-effacing, but a force to be reckoned with!

What an Awesome tribute Charlie! Sounds like you had an amazing father in law! Between the Stew knife and your fathers walnut, this SFO batch has lots of Waynorth soul infused into it, I'll be proud and honored to own and carry a couple:thumbup:
 
I have been avoiding this thread like the plague because I knew what would happen if I started reading it....................off to go purchase my first barlow! :D



*edit. Where can I find one of these beauties? Sorry, I'm still new here!

Well I tell you what. In the unlikely event that there is still a walnut stews knife available in December, I'll be havin' it.

A touching tribute, a superb piece of history and a beautiful knife. Well done Charlie!

I'm pretty sure the walnut scales will only be on the clip blade versions. :(

Jake, you are right. I didn't want to confuse the two stories.
 
Sumpin's comin' up in the gaaaar-den.....



I won't get these listed before next week as I'm waiting on the rest of the order.
 
Speaking of the other story, I could see Bill shaking his head, over the telephone, when I asked for these changes to the Tom's Choice label! Then a sort of resigned, "well, we'll see what we can do . . . ."

I don't know - - maybe the shoes clashed with Bill's bowtie?!?!:eek:


:D:D

They did good though!

There is a celebration of the Drake oil well, the world's first successful commercial well, in August, hence the bucket!!:cool:
