Any chance the hawk was worn down and it got re-shaped ~ tastefully ~ into the sheepfoot?
Cool knife either way🤙

I think it maybe a sheepsfoot, but who knows?? Only because of the spine is flat. I have a half dozen or so Wolstenholm's from this era, and every hawkbills spine raises towards the tip.

This one came from a gentleman who's last name was Voos, in NW Ohio. He was parting with his 70+ year collection. He picked it up in the late 60's early 70's as an honest Pruner. I've been meaning to ask Neal about it but I'm too forgetful!
 
Back in the pocket today...

Running on a power nap right now. It's been a long 40 hr weekend...
Still got responsibilities, so now it's playtime with our hound. The S&M HJ "Pickle" is my pocket companion for the rest of the day.
I don't know how long the squeaky gummy bear will last though...😂

You're a good dad to dig down deep for your pup. Nice S&M!👍🏻
 
I've had this extended illness going on and as a consequence I haven't been to Tennessee since the first week of October. This has been weighing on me. I tend to worry about it. So I got to feeling a little better this weekend and decided to make a quick trip to Tennessee. Normally I drive it in one day, but I didn't feel up to a 565 mile drive, so I drove to Huabstadt, Indiana and got a hotel, which is where I am now. My usual travel knife is a Vic Cadet. That's the red one. Nice, slim, useful tools 👍

Being a silver lining, glass half full* kind of guy, one benefit on this illness is I've lost about 15 pounds. I kept having to pull my pants up every time I got out of the car, so the first thing I did when I got in the room was dig out my Pioneer X and drill a new hole in my belt. Nobody wants to see an old geezer's pants fall down 😱

I'm mostly off the grid in TN, so I'll see y'all next week.

*Old engineer joke, you've probably all heard:

A pessimist sees the glass as half empty;
An optimist sees the glass as half full;
An engineer thinks the glass is twice as big as it needs to be 🤣
