Thank you kindly.
Yes Black locust is like osage, very rot resistant and make good fence post. The first dozen or so osage bows I made some 30 years ago came from osage fence post a farmer had pulled from the ground. He told me his grandfather and dad had built the fence at least 65 years before he pulled them from the ground.
You're also right about locust being a b----h to split, especially when splitting it into 6' lengths for bow staves. The most work IMO though is removing the thick sapwood on a seasoned stave like the one pictured below with the drawknife. I always need Ibuprofen for the shoulder and arm pain after that task.

Knife content; Two Cherries brand, curved blade drawknife.

I passed on the Jack Wolf Equal Ends but I wish I hadn’t. Yours looks fantastic!

There seemed to be some minor controversy over the blade shape but it looks just about perfect to me. I think I might have made a bad decision to pass on those.

I carried the Victorinox Pioneer on a fishing trip to the James River today. My son in law and I caught a few catfish and saw 7 bald eagles. It was a good day.

Thanks mate
You know it was the first time I've ever done the specific drop, it's a fine knife.
I know some don't like the broader tip I do. I'm sure they will release something after the holidays for ya.

I really like this half whittler version. Beautiful sawcut bone

Do you remember what that show was called?

I never recognized Grandpa as the Car 54 guy.
I once saw Ben Stiller doing Eddie Munster doing Robert Deniro in a spoof of a movie whose title I don't remember, where Eddie Munster was seeking revenge against those he blamed for the cancellation of the Munsters and the ruination of his career.

Buck and Solingen Olsen.

And Jeanine Garafolo.

I'd have trouble finding a more useful, pocketable traditional knife. A pleasure to carry and use.

Just scored a GEC Acorn too - opportune s/h offer I couldn't let slide.

The Yellow Linen Micarta isn't quite my thing, hopefully it'll grow on me.

The build quality and walk n talk is quite different to the GEC Mustang scored as well recently - quite surprised by that.
