Thanks Steve :) :thumbsup:

Well done Jim :cool: I hope you get on well with the Kephart :) I got this one from Brisa, but haven't had much chance to use it this year :rolleyes: :thumbsup:

That’s beautiful, Jack. It looks like some variety of figured Black Walnut ~ maybe French or English Walnut?
It looks to me as if Mr Kephart was inspired by the old Green River pattern? But that handle shaped into a guard is a good improvement.
I used to think that a guard was to deflect an opponent’s blade in a knife fight, but eventually realized it’s to protect the user’s hand from sliding onto the blade. A combination of a loose grip while making a push cut can get messy. Am I correct?
I figured asking our resident knife researcher, reviewer, and writer would be easier than looking up answers to my musings. 😀

The big spear is a good complement to your straight bladed Lamb. 🤙

I daresay that Mr No Shields On Stag! Will Power Will Power may be willing to make an exception.
Dean Robertson is a new one to me ~ looks like a nice Trapper. Even without a spey…😎
 
Cattle Knife, Camillus TL-27, and Bowie.327A3C05-B361-48F6-BCD3-26B3518321D1.jpegSaving seeds1A7ED4B8-8055-4545-9D79-37A2803546E4.jpegThe 27 was the civilian version of the TL-29. The blades are slightly thinner, making it a bit slimmer overall. Still very sturdy and snappy.

The long line under Camillus means it was post 1949,6E91E095-6FB8-4B26-8B2D-93260EC341B6.jpegand the forward placement of the shackle means it’s older than the final version on which the shackle was placed right at the end when the end pin is.37945734-B569-465D-8045-B8650F968104.jpegI like how the Cocobolo is aging.

Another beautiful sunny day here in the City by the Bay! Looks like it’s going to be a like it for the rest of the week too! Taking the ham out of the freezer and into the fridge to defrost. I’ll make cranberry sauce tomorrow or Wednesday. Our contribution to my son’s thanksgiving dinner at his house. Teaching him how to cook has paid off. Will watch MNF later and how about those 49ers and the Succaneers 😜. Keeping me company will be the the usual lamb and my watch pocket friend Lil Ike. Have a great week folks! 😀

You could conquer the world with that trio, Jeff. Very cool, my friend.

Where ever your going, hope you have a good time, Jon. Take care, buddy.
 
Headed to town shortly. Over the weekend a niece invited Cindy and me to her house for Thanksgiving Dinner so it'll be a day off for Cindy. Not having to cook a big dinner will be a real treat for her. I think though that we're taking a salad. Anyway, we'll pick up the salad makings while in town. I'll be toting this gorgeous nylon covered Buck 112 Ranger LT knife on our journey today. Sausage and eggs for breakfast.
