Thanks

No, I didn't mind too much as I really like it when the darker heart of the antler starts to show through

Thanks Sam, I'm off to York for the annual Viking Festival Not the dryest spot, but at least there are pubs to dry out in! :thumbup:

Sounds like a superb day!

Taking my favorite ladies out for a nice dinner tonight, these two fine knives are with me,

Drop point made by the one and only, Bob Loveless. Made the late 1970's, lignum vitae and 154cm. A trapper from the talented, Tom Overeynder, bullino engraving by the ridiculously talented, Brian Hochstrat. Gold pins and gold engraved shield. CPM-D2 and vintage Remington bone.

Have a great weekend folks.

 

[SadSappySucker]

Thank you Jack and Dean for the compliments.

Sam

That is one very cool knife!

Have a good day all!

Ken K.

Really nice pair you've got there.

Mako today - Neptune acrylic in the sun

That is one funky(in a good way) knife!

 

[SadSappySucker]

I'm trying to get this one out more.

 

[Jack Black]

Dapper duo today, Jack; I'm especially partial to that canoe! :thumbup: Whew!

...


Thanks, Jack. To be honest with regard to the Lambsfoot, this particular blade is currently not sharp enough to enjoy using, and my freehand skills haven't yet developed to the point that I'd care to inflict them on this lovely knife! I recently picked up a Taylor-Schrade Landshark with what seems to me to be a lambsfoot blade, and I've been using that occasionally, along with some sheepsfoot and wharncliffe blades. I have to say that, while I enjoy these experiments, I'm just not as adroit or comfortable with straightedged blades as I am with a spear, pen, or clip. Actually, the Tarmundi pictured below has a blade I really enjoy using, and it seems to me to be quite close to a lambsfoot in shape, but it definitely has a little belly (as do I ).

Thanks GT Straight-edges are by far the easiest to sharpen my friend, on stone, strop, steel, or Sharpmaker. Wright's steel is good, and will sharpen up well. Yep, the Landshark is close to a Lambsfoot for sure :thumbup: LOL! I love to see that Taramundi! :thumbup:

Thank you! Funny how you appear to have the exact model, although as you can see from my pic this one (which currently resides on the workbench next to my office) is still carrying screws, washer, bolts, and additional miscellany which its creators probably anticipated their storage drawers would be used for. Due to a change in company paradigm, however, there's a good possibility that I can take it home with me and convert it to Knife Central.

I've just filled my fourth, plus another model, a dozen or so cigar boxes, and various other boxes, drawers, cupboards, etc

Taking my favorite ladies out for a nice dinner tonight, these two fine knives are with me.

Have a nice meal Kris :thumbup: Have you ever come across the piece on Bob Loveless in Knives '87? Worth checking out if not. I've always loved his designs :thumbup:

Yet another early start tomorrow, and I already have these with me Have a great weekend everyone :thumbup:

 

[Grateful]

This fresh from the tube, single spring, square bolstered, ebony Muskrat.

Its a beautiful knife, no gaps or blade rub. Its just amazing to me how perfectly fine its put together.

That might be my favorite shield I've ever seen!

 

[RedwoodGirl]

Looks like "Ole Betsy" has seen lots of carry but little use!

Oh no, the secret is out! Yeah, I actually lost this one only a few months after I got it, and only finally found it while cleaning to get ready for college. I know... what a travesty! I'll need to ask my dad about its story prior to my ownership... not sure how much it did back in the day; now he just carries his Leatherman MT and figures that's enough for most anything he'll need to do.

From your intro thread I see that this knife was given to you by your father, which makes that a pretty special knife regardless of the pattern or maker. Throw in the limited edition factor and I think you've got one heck of a slippy there. :thumbup:

Welcome to the porch!

Thanks for the welcome! Yes, it's definitely special to me, love this little knife and was ecstatic when I re-discovered it.

 

[Half/Stop]

Thanks, Ron. That Viper with the acorn shield and squirrel etch is tres chic! :thumbup:

- GT

Gary - Thank you for the compliment!

I got this little guy today. It belonged to my great grandfather. It's scary sharp too

Bighaze51 - Congrats on that priceless treasure! To own your Great Grandfather's Case is a wonderful thing.

There is a lot of red knives on display today. Maybe 1 more won't hurt! Have a wonderful weekend!

 

[r8shell]

That's a shapely old knife, Rachel!

Thank you!

It's all about the draw cut, man. The downward force is transferred to the tip when scoring material, cutting leather, etc.

 

[thales2015]

Congrats, David! :thumbup: I definitely like what I'm seeing there, even if I don't know exactly what I'm looking at. (Those magnificent covers are jigged ... what, exactly??) - GT

Thanks GT - the covers are jigged titanium. It's kind of a signature piece/process by Enrique Peña. A cool (IMHO) modern take on jigged slipjoints.

Fantastic looking red Ron, really pops.

I think you are having an influence on me as I am carrying three knives today. The Forum knife being one I am particularly fond of and the Case penknife being a light carry and useful as well. Of course, the Presidential is always along.

Great carry Dean. I've always thought the half congress forum knife was one of the best/classiest pieces we've come up with.

This arrived today and went straight into the pocket after a little cleaning.

 

[Whetstone39]

Great looking Dowell Tim :thumbup:

 

[Ryouchijtx]

Great looking Dowell Tim :thumbup:

Thanks Tom, after seeing you and so many others post Lanny Clips I couldn't resist finally going full circle and finding one of my own.

Finishing up my first ever shield inlay on this NYKC barehead jack:

Before:

Need to peen the shield pin and then finish - hopefully the old bone won't crack !

Thanks, Tim. I agree totally. Nice Lanny's clip you've got there.

Good luck!

Primble
It will be a complete success! Many precision light taps:thumbup: Too bad we did not get to see the bow drill action:thumbup:

Put your mind in these hands and let them work through you
