Jack, that's the one I posted in the Lambsfoot thread recently, the E. Blyde & Co Ltd.
Have a great day, Jack. Show us your newly found treasures. Very nice WR.
......your "undaunted and emboldened" attitude in the face of "epic failure" is inspiring!

A blue day today.
Nice Barlows Primble, Tsar and Dean.
I found a whole bunch of knives at the farmers market this past weekend. Among others I picked up these two.
A Grohmann in a pattern I hadn't seen before and a Vic Cadet II.

Cool knife and story! What an awesome keepsake!I came across this pic while "cleaning" my phone. I had taken this on opening day of Maryland deer season, and couldn't get it posted due to phone/BF/Photobucket issues when using my phone. It deserves a post. I carried this knife, that day, as it was my Great Grandfather's deer hunting knife. I don't think it is ancient, he probably bought/carried it in his later years. I never knew the man, but my Dad gifted this to me a few Christmas' ago and I feel like he is with me when I carry it.
Thanks for explaining the mystery, Rachel.Only that it has no maker's marks. I picked it up in a junk shop for a few dollars and don't have a clue to its age or origin. Solid enough worker, though. :thumbup:
Welcome back, Tsar; I admire your commitment to trying to catch up on the huge backlog of posts that accumulate in a couple of days, but it requires more energy than I can usually muster!
Superb Ancient Barlows and splendid coins, Dean and Jack! :thumbup:
Whoa, youve done it again, Ken!I found a whole bunch of knives at the farmers market this past weekend. Among others I picked up these two.

LOL!Only a rusty Ibbersons clasp knife, a worn Lambsfoot with a tang-stamp I can't read yet, a nice corkscrew, and an 1806 penny today. ADEE bought me lunch though

Thanks, Tom. :thumbup: I enjoy the photo of your sheath project!Thanks GT! Love the bear companion for your Explorer.
This is the sheath prior to sanding, glueing, and staining, I was checking it for retention and it is very good. Not sure if the belt openings will hold long term though. It was meant to be a learning experience, and it really was. Hopefully I end up with a usable sheath too.

Yeah, thanks, it's a pretty cool "state stone" to have!I didn't even have to look to guess you are in Michigan when I saw the petoskey bear.
Sarah, I thought you would approve.
