Thanks Kev, hope all is goin well for ya my friend.
I cant help showin it off, I really like this one. Here are two more pics, the first shows the blade better and the second shows of the bone really well. The action is just perfect, firm with a very solid snap into place.
Changing my carry for the day now. Need to head out to pick n pull, dont want to loose my knife so I think orange is very appropriate

I love your #55 Houndstooth photos, Jeff! I really wish GEC would do another run of these with the single Wharncliffe blade, but this time with Smooth Ivory Bone covers for the Tidioute model, and African Blackwood covers for the Northfield version. I would absolutely scoop up a few of them if they did a run of Northfield #55s in African Blackwood!!!

Thanks Burnside, I really appreciate it. I would also love to see a second run but would tweak one of your requests.....I would like the African blackwood to be a Combo of sorts with the tooth shield of the Tidioute and the Northfield swedge. Keep the nail nick and I would have to get one or two of those

British clasp knife today-
-the open one, the closed knife is a work in progress.
Is that British or Belgian? The WIP looks very interesting :thumbup:
Today I switched from one olivewood handled knife to another. I really like this recycled sawmill steel. Has plenty of character and takes a nice edge.
Yes, tons of character. Nice-looking knife

Thanks, Jack.
I picked it up here in the Exchange from David Farmer. IIRC, he acid etched the blade to give it more of an aged look, which complements the previous pitting already in the steel.

dannyp, the David Farmer is a great looking knife. I have admired his work for some time. Congratulations on acquiring that beauty.

Your comments appreciated, thanks.
Belgian; the lower knife is unmarked. I guess I used the "British" nomenclature in the generic
I don't know much about these knives except there are British army knives similar to them, what would be a quick history of the type? I have one stamped with a broad arrow, so I know that one is English, but it is a cruder example than these two, to be direct.
