Carrying a stag lamb and a knife that followed my home from my recent trip to Wyoming. This Uncle Henry Schrade+ 285UH was my grandpa's. I know little about it (age, etc.), but as he passed away 12 years ago, I know it is at least that old. It's got scratches on the blade indicating he wasn't afraid to use it, so I won't be either. I have a decent number of knives, but this one (and the Old Timer 940t that was his and has been used and sharpened extensively) are now the two most cherished knives in my collection.

All three of my grandpa's knives that I brought home. My youngest son asked for the SAK when we were looking through my grandpa's old garage so it is now his.

Great that you can carry some family history Jeremy.

That's a superb way to start the week JJ, great pairing

Thanks a lot, Jack!!!

Carrying an unusual German-made Lambsfoot, from the 20's/30's today, along with one of Charlie's Ancient Barlows for my my Random Tuesday pick

That old Germanic Lamb is quite the cool rarity which looks awesome paired with your Ancient beauty!

Been carrying this 77 for a bit now, micarta barlows make for great user knives! Decided this one has earned some time off so I gave it a good cleaning and a bit of oil. Before putting it away, I had to stop for a minute or two and enjoy how the patina is coming along.

That is a very nice looking knife Mike . The grind on the edge is so even on your knife and the one I got that it is hard to believe . The problem with mine was that I had to change the angle to make it sharp !!!!! Did you find that issue with your's also ???? I still want to get one like your's though . I like them a lot !!! The ergonomics of them is great IMO .

Harry

Thanks Harry
It still has the factory edge. It came pretty sharp - sharp enough that I haven't touched it yet. I also have a Cold Steel CBK that I use in the kitchen and agree about the ergonomics.

I do like the penknife you chose for today Jack.

Thank you my friend In the 1920's and 30's, few people in England would have bought a knife stamped 'Made in Germany', so during that period, the knives made in Solingen, for export to Britain, were stamped 'Foreign', 'Foreign Made', or 'Foreign Make' (in a few cases they are not stamped with any provenance at all). They were sold cheap, but are usually very well-made knives, some having MOP or tortoiseshell covers. Typically, the blades are forged thin, and ground accordingly, so they take a good edge

I agree, the German knives were well made and can be honed to a fine edge.

It's a burl kind of day.
