I'm glad you like it. I touched up the edge on mine, and the steel didn't seem as soft as I expected, so it might hold up to a bit of work.

I certainly do :) I sharpened mine too. Cut some cardboard out earlier, and it seems OK. I was thinking of maybe thinning the edge out a little at some point, I'll have a think about that one ;) :thumbup:

Yep. Harry, I use the bypass shears on the hydrangeas and roses around our house. The idea of using a pruning knife is intriguing. If I had a thimble of some kind and a sharp knife, I think cutting to the first bud would be quicker and less chance of crushing the branch. And, deadheading would be a snap! Of course some woody plants, just require the shears. Sharpening those things is a little tougher than a knife though.

Have you ever tried an Opinel garden pattern? I wonder if they have a larger hawkbill as you were mentioning about the Ward's or you dad's knife?

I have never had an Opinel of any pattern yet . I would suggest that to try the pattern get a $10 Linoleum knife at Home Depot or maybe a real cheap folder. When I found my old Wards , they were selling a radiused sharpening stone with it . What I really use to sharpen my Hawkbills with though is an old hand crank sharpener made by the Daisy Churn company . It does an acceptable job of grinding around the radius of the blade. If you want , I can post a picture of the Daisy later .

Thanks Buzz...just getting into the scouts, mainly the newer delrin covered ones. I do have to give a Thanks to you because many of your posts of your scout collection and your insights to the scouts out there have been very educational to me.:thumbup:
 
With the talk of carrying multiple knives, I have carried as many as 16 between pockets and belt sheaths, with different uses in mind for each.:rolleyes:

Alan, I'm not retired yet (although this month I've been thinking I should be :o), but I carry 12 knives each day (but the same 12 for a week at a time)! :D Some people make fun of me for that, but I didn't carry a knife for about 45 years, so I have a lot of catching up to do. :p

I'm going to say you have an above average carry every day, Gary! There was a fellow here on BladeForums many years ago (he may still be here, but I don't go to the General Knife discussion forum anymore) who had a coat that had a passel of pockets in it for his knives. I think he had you beat, but not by much! :thumbup::thumbup:

Great choice, Ron. :thumbup: I like the touch of brown in the Ebony.
 
Carrying this guy today. Somehow I got a little scratch on the blade already. I have been using it, so I think that is okay with me.

Thanks Alan. I'll be practicing some bushcrafting skills with the Nocturnal, its gonna be my camp carry along with a Buck 119. The TC is carried for its looks:D
 
This lambsfoot hasn't left my pocket for a while now... It's such a utilitarian blade... A. Wright...

Got ya. It looks like a great small camp knife. I understand carrying the TC for looks. I have decided, rational or not; not to use my Charlie SFO's, but to use most or all of my other GEC's including at least one of the DLT 74 SFO"S I have. Like I said, may not be rational but it feels right to me. Charlie's knives are so special.

That's a NICE one :thumbup:

I have a long day in Sheffield tomorrow. Packing a few penknives (ivory & MOP) and my Buffalo A.Wright Lambsfoot :thumbup:

Looking good Jack. How do you like that carrier? I have the Spyderco folding nylon thing. I use it, but don't like it so much. The knives slide out too easily.
