What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Very handsome wood!

Nice walnut handles and back spring work looks great!

Many thanks gentlemen. The Walnut is left matte like the steel (you can opt for polished if you want) and each knife has different file-work according to who made it. These are really excellently made/executed knives, if you want an exceptional Laguiole ,then I think Fontenille-Pataud is the one to choose.

Trand,
thank you for reminding me the reason that ultimately made me fall and enter Ken's waiting list. :rolleyes:
This knife looks marvelous.

I'm carrying a blood wood 68 today.

Have the day off so I'll be lazy today opening, closing and looking at these two beauties I received in the mail last night!

I can honestly say that the EZ Open Sheepsfoot #15 is right there as my end all, be all EDC for quite some time. Such an amazing knife and I absolutely love the ebony on this one. I'm not sure if you guys can see it, but the lighter brown around the bolster is beautiful. It transitions depending on the light. It's remarkable. Originally, I was put off by the "Scout" on the shield, but it's actually pleasing in person. I like to think it's there as a memoir to those guys that were scouts during military campaigns. It didn't come sharp enough to easily slice paper, but with new stones coming in hopefully by this weekend, it won't get a sharpened until they arrive. So I'll be carrying a not-so-sharp knife until then, but I believe it's worth the wait :p

My Eureka Jack came incredibly sharp though and it's an awesome knife, but that #15 has me in awe.
 
Adoboyo those are both stunning - that Ebony is both beautiful and elegant. I'll tell you I've become increasingly fascinated with wood scales lately. My Barlow in African Blackwood and my 15 Boys Knife in Ebony are both captivating. Their smooooooth texture just begs to be caressed! :)

Great knives there ARM! I definitely prefer wood handles and I can't get away from ebony. I wish you ebony lovers could see this brown transition in the light. I haven't seen anything like it before.
