Glad to see you putting it to work.
The antler bead looks great on the slip.
That's what I plan to do with the one you gave me.

Thanks, John. The bead works out nicely on the slip. The knife is perfect size for work and stout, I’m loving it.

It took me a few minutes to get it, simply because you have some one-offs and I figured I just hadn't seen that one before.

Lol...
I figured it was a prototype that we hadn't seen before... until I remembered the day.

Wright's actually slipped that one past me twice John. The first time, after the owner swore to me that he'd thoroughly checked over all the knives personally (so I didn't have to unwrap them all):

I had to take it back over to Sheffield, and wait for the bolster to be replaced, which I was promised had been done. Picked it up with a bunch of other knives, and got home to find this

One of those fellers who, if he tells you it's raining outside, you want to check first

I have a plan for the knife I will put into formulation at some point

That's a super pretty knife, Jack.

Those two pair perfectly. You've got all your blade shapes covered.

Thanks pal

Still riding with this #71. I love the rustic look, the feel in-hand, and the improved blade shape.

That looks good with the Micarta covers John, Bart did a nice job of modding it

Thank you Mr. Jack !

It's a baby doctor John Primble India Steel Works (1890-1940), so hard to say who actually made it for Belknap Hardware. Judging from the bone wear, I would guess closer to 1890 than 1940.

Thanks John, and your Bull Nose is great, my favorite covers and I like the re-profile were the covers contoured also?

That is such a cool knife

I agree, John. It’s handy for all sorts of small cutting tasks. Most of the time I’ll pair it with a larger single blade knife.

This here #86 today

Looks like you’ve been putting that Angus Jack to good use!

Thanks Barrett. One of the nice things about lionSTEEL is they use great materials, so you can't go too far wrong.

I’ve got one in natural micarta (with the clip point). They’re great knives. I’m hoping at some point Mike will get another batch in ram’s horn so I can’t pick up another.

That was my subtle April Fool's joke Mr P, went down like a lead balloon!

That’s great, Jack! Sadly I must have missed it altogether on the 1st.

I imagine that’s the sort of thing that you don’t miss at all about doing the Guardians knives.

Yes it is, Barrett. It needed some work!

Looks like you put a nice new edge on it. Were you able to tighten up the pivot pin?

Good to see you here Woodrow

Thanks Jack! Been quite busy the last year. Moved to Colorado.

Yep, it will shave now. That edge was as rounded as a butter knife. But it looks like it had never been used, which begs the question of how they managed to spread the joint like that.
I peined the hinge pin and got it tightened up, but it’s cockeyed a little, which prevents the lock from engaging the utility blade. Ok to use, but one of these days I should break it open and put a new pin in. One of those elusive “spare time” things.
