Stunning as always, Kris. But I'm particularly looking forward to seeing this whittler take shape. :thumbup:
 
Playing golf in a couple of hours, decided to carry a stainless stockman. This Craftsman has a lot of character.
I dig the brass bolsters— black and gold were my school colors!

Nice knife and good luck on the links today. I'm either a front 9 or back 9 guy, but never a full 18. I don't play often and it's too frustrating to play a full 18. :(
 
Kris, I sure do like that Jack Russell! The redwood handles are something else. The Norris goes without saying.

Its a Lawson & Son Saynor pruner. Jack Black calls the style an Ettrick

Saynor began c1810, but was not called Saynor Cooke & Ridal until 1876. Saynor knives are still made now. The company makes horticultural knives.

There used to be a catalog page in the sticky...Vintage Catalogs. I have a couple if you can't find it, that I will have to post in flicker for you to see. Let me know
 
Thanks - that sure is a beauty (and your photo skills do it justice). The color and texture transitions through the handle are amazing. :thumbup:

Thank you very much!! Coming from a skilled master such as yourself, that means a lot! It is one of my favorites ,not only for its shear beauty but it is a real cutter!

And..yes I am real careful with it. I guess I need a new rendition of it, a custom perhaps:p The John Lloyds that Charlie had commissioned are just stunning!! See page 5 on link above. I also would like to try a stereoisomer ( enantiomer ) of the handle and see how that feels
