What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

I found a gem in a local antique shop today - I could see a hint of the stamp (lots of surreptitious rubbing on a white tshirt 🤪) but it was reluctant to open and when it did it had no snap at all.
Some happy time spent in the garage revealed a really nice IXL George Wostenholm - it still has a bit of a nick on the edge but I don’t want to remove too much metal. It now walks, talks, shines, snaps, growls and bites 😊
My guess is ebony scales - a very hard wood anyway.

Thanks, Jack.
Love your Lambsfoot... But Daisy is stealing the show. 🤠 :thumbsup:
Daisy is a real looker there Bart :thumbsup::) so is the Lamb:)
Thanks, guys. She’s a great companion and a hard worker 👍

😡🤬🤬 poachers. Too bad it wouldn't be practical to electrify (high voltage and amperage) the fence. 😡
Yep. The worst part is when they cut the fence the cattle sometimes get out on the road and they often times leave their garbage behind.
Good Morning Porch Friends

Stunning pair Steve :cool: :thumbsup:
Thank you very much, Jack!!! :):thumbsup:

Happy Double Lambsfoot Day Jack; that's as slicey a combo as it gets, especially your classic "old steel" beauty! :cool:;)👍👍
Thank you very much JJ, though the IXL is actually of the more mature ovine variety :D ;) :thumbsup:
Toting a couple black composite covered Robeson cutters today. :)
Nicely matching pair of museum-grade Robesons my friend :cool: :thumbsup:
First of all, welcome to the forum. Friendly bunch of folks.
Secondly, prayers and good wishes in your battle.
Well said Jeff :) :thumbsup:
And I am glad to know you as well, my friend.
It’s good that Mrs Fleschwund does not have a BF membership. She would expose the real me!🥴😄
Thanks, Jack!
🤣 :thumbsup:

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend :thumbsup: Rotten weather caused me to cancel my hike unfortunately :( :thumbsup:

Nice save. I simply enjoy sitting at my basement workbench while tidying up a old piece like that. Thanks for sharing the Before & After shots.

Thanks DD….yep some peaceful downtime at the weekend playing with rusty treasure is gold as they say. There is most probably a thread more suited to these before & after posts but I haven’t found it yet and so I hope it is ok here until I do…..

Heck, I'm new here, so it works for me.

As long as you are having fun. I don't know if you know, go to bunnings they have super fine & fine steel wool good for cleaning carbon blades without to much damage, remeber to wear leather gloves as it will stick in your fingers when you cut it. Not that I learnt the hard way😁😁

If I may add, I have found bronze wool is a good alternative. No small particles to rust and less " prickly".
Hope I was not too intrusive.
Have a good weekend.
