Totin’ two old survivors from across the Atlantic today.

I have always appreciated the beautiful slender swayback on many vintage Sheffield Lambsfoot knives. They have an elegance lacking in the modern versions. I like the way the brass fluted bolster looks alongside the Cocobolo scales and Sheffield steel blade. The blade was rusted but has cleaned up nicely. Even the pits somehow look right. The steel became razor sharp with very little effort using simple ceramic sticks.

The French knife was a very kind and much appreciated gift from my friend Yann Corto_Malt . Maybe he can chime in and explain the pattern. I believe it was lovingly refurbished by craftsmen in the same manner the English Lambsfoot was. I can tell you one thing, that knife is a champion box cutter! The scales are ox horn.

The action on both of these knives is excellent. The blades are tight and well centered.

Jeff, I really like your Craftsman stock knife, looks Camillus-built to me, with the great Rogers' bone.

Taylor, that's a very handsome Angus Jack! I like my well done, but that swoosh of color on yours is tip top!

Thanks Paul, it's a solid 3"closed Jack knife, the bone is better in person (or better than my pic's show). No play in either blade and gets scary sharp. Odd though is how the main is pitted but the little pen isn't
