Nice selections Gary. Amazing how life gets in the way of our sleep and naps!!Tuesday already and I haven't posted any of this week's knives in this thread. I'll blame my sporadic participation in BF over the past few weeks on fallen leaf disposal, additional duties when my wife was out of town for a few days a couple of weeks ago, my daughter and son-in-law visiting this week, my trying to devote a little more time to recreational reading, the dog suddenly developing a habit of barking EARLY in the morning since the time change (which leaves me exhausted the rest of the day), and some holiday preparations. (Can't think of anyone else to blame besides myself.)
Canoes of the Week are a Rough Ryder cinnamon stag bone canoe with damascus blades, and a Hen & Rooster mini canoe (thanks, Will):
SAK of the Week is a Champion:
Stockman of the Week is a Rough Rider amber jigged bone sowbelly, the first sowbelly I ever used. (I now have many sowbelly stockman models.)
Stag/Horn Knife of the Week is a Joker horn lockback:
Work Knife of the Week is an Oriental Imperial Sodbuster Jr.-style knife:
- GT
Now that seems a lot of blade to fit in that handle!H Honest_Thomas latest and tasteful acquisition has inspired me to get out one of my favourite 56s from 2011 . Hawkbill has seen use too.
The 56 is a very tidy pattern indeed with many variations, well worth getting one.

Yeah, no need for nail-nicks on this one. I find the 56 a very good pattern in hand in all its forms. Don't find it smaller possibly because the handle is broader than the 15? Don't know ??Now that seems a lot of blade to fit in that handle!
I know they’re the same length as a #15 but feel smaller in hand. Do you get that?
