Intimations of Immortality

There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream,
The earth, and every common sight,
To me did seem
Apparelled in celestial light,
The glory and the freshness of a dream.

William Wordsworth
 
Even though I haven't been around here much, I still carry a knife or two each day. For the past week or so, it's been this lovely combo:

Then, yesterday, the new 63 Fishtail arrived in the mail (Thanks, Mike!). Love this one. Pure class. Reminds me of the old Italian style, looks like something out of the 1920s/30s.

I really like the looks and finish of buffalo horn...But I have heard stories about it cracking and shrinking. Is this true?

Hey Gev, nice to see you again. Mine's not a Steri, but made by Usai. Fausto helped me with contacting the maker and having it made, maybe a year(?) ago.

Hey Tom, horn can be a very durable material, if it is properly aged and treated before use. When horn cracks, warps, or shrinks, it's usually because it was too "green" at the time of manufacture.
