I'm off to sunny Huddersfield in the morning to see ADEE. Going to have a load of recent acquisitions in my bag, and these two in my pockets :) :thumbup:

That PATINA! :eek:
 
I had todd make this one specially to carry at my wedding, gave him no rules. He really nailed it. I've been staring at it for 3 weeks (I wasn't carrying until wedding). Now that's done (Saturday) and I can carry it some.

Having a hard time deciding what to carry today

That is a Perfect knife, and congratulations on your marriage!

I did some tweaking to remove the jump between bolsters and scales on my powderhorn and I have been carrying it again! Very underrated knife I think.

I also rounded the tangs on the blades so that they would not feel so sharp to your hand, and lowered the tip on the main blade so that it nests in to the handle better. It is pleasure to my hand now!

edit: and I must say that some sanding made miracles, as it smoothed out the ebony for very pleasant grip!

Wow, that's a hard choice. The third from the left, is this a Canarian or Majorcan knife?

It's neither of those sorry.
As some of you know Taramundi is actually a little village in the NW is Spain that earned a lot of prestige for the quality of the pocket knives.
Actually all the frontier region between Asturias and Galicia has a lot of blacksmithing tradition and that knife is from Santalla(another village) and it has a more intricate design carved on the handle and then submerged in a shellac to fill the pattern, also the ferrule or bolster is more elaborated than in Taramundi knives, usually file worked.
Sorry the little offtopic

I bought this Queen barlow to give to my nephew as his first knife, but he is still a little too young. I have an interview for a senior manager position with my company today, so I thought I would carry it for good luck.
