Thank you Paul, and I very much hope you do the same! And I got the joke partner - I had a good laugh!

Honestly, I think you are one of the most kind and positive men on bladeforums. I mean that 100%.

Thank you my friend, I return the very same compliment to you:thumbup: You handled that dig thrown @ you in General with pure class;)

@Markesharp, Mark I extend the same compliment to you as well. It's truly a pleasure being in the Traditional forum among the class of people that reside here.

No problem at all pal, I got the joke! I just wanted to share what that carving really is. It really is beautiful in person. I have no idea what wood it is, but it's very nice. No offense meant, and none taken.

Thanks very much! I try, I really do. I devote a lot of time to this great place we have here, and although the barbs wear on me sometimes, I try my best to just take them with a grain of salt and move on.

I think it is Mahogony AntDog. It is a favorite of pattern makers, due to its inherent cross grain it carves well and finishes smooth. Nice piece. :thumbup:

Thanks! I have had it about 8 years and never knew what kind of wood it was. I had always wondered about it. All I knew was that it was a nice carving made of very handsome wood. Thank you for shedding some light on it! :thumbup:

The Coyote!
How do you like it - so far?

You are correct, snippy - it's a Coyote. Just got it today, so no experience yet beyond prepping some veggies for my dinner tonight. Good so far, but I'll be testing and using it this weekend on a fishing trip. I'll be sure to report back and get some better pix as well, but I think this is gonna be a winner...

That is very nice Todd.

I've been carrying an old pruning knife for a couple of months now. It's about 2-2.5 " in the blade, no makers marks anywhere that I can find. Presumably Sheffield in origin, since I picked it up here in the UK (I'm on contract here for a while) and it's stamped as such. But some stuff has been made elsewhere & stamped Sheffield. Anyway, it's a nice knife, I've come to really appreciate the hawk bill blade, and it fits nicely in the coin pocket of my jeans.

Yea... I love that blade shape. The Wharnie is great!!! Cool knife! Thanks.

Very cool. I almost picked one of these up in a tiny town in Texas that had a store/service station full of like 500 case knives. I resisted!

I know there's redundancy here blade shape wise but I just had to carry these two:o:)

Look what arrived just in time for the first game of the Champions Cup against Leicester Tigers tonight :)



C'MON ULSTERRRRRRR!!!
 
^^^^ Cool Ulster ^^^^

I'm taking this one out today for its maiden voyage
 
I will be off to the pre-wedding activities shortly. I decided to carry one of my ole red bones, a 1940-64 era half whittler for the occasion:

Lots of nice forum knives being posted - have my fingers crossed for mine being in my mail when I get home later today.

Paul - congratulations on the arrival of your grail Ulster knife. :thumbup:;):)

Everyone have a nice weekend. :)
