Been reading this to my son, he just turned 7; it's a 1903 first edition (third printing however). The knife is a LT Wright Next Gen. It's all about the next gen, isn't it?

The world needs more people, especially fathers, that read to their kids.

Lovely knife, lovely first edition :) I just gifted my mate's little lad a collection of Jack London tales for his 7th birthday. I bought it for him when he was born :thumbup:

Thanks, very much agreed. After that, he requested 20000 Leagues Under the Sea. I've read them (4 kids) passages from the Iliad and Odyssey as well. And each has a GEC set aside for them when they are ready.

Thanks-- and well done, Jack! London's stories are priceless, especially for boys just coming to understand the world. :thumbup:

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was one of my first too, together with Hiawatha, Huckleberry Finn, Treasure Island, and Robinson Crusoe. Probably my favourite book though was a book my Uncle bought me called Tales of the Greeks & Trojans, which condensed The Iliad and The Odyssey for kids. It gave me a lifelong love of the Greek classics, and The Odyssey remains my favourite book to this day (Yep, even more than BRL4! :D) :thumbup:

Sounds like you're doing a great job my friend :thumbup:
 
Thanks for the warm sentiments; I very much appreciate it. All those books are classics for a good reason! I'm a professor by trade (philosophy & political thought), and have a long-abiding love of the classics. So glad we share more than an interest in excellent cutlery! Be well brother.
 
Carried the Ryu Gunhammer lockback to brunch this morning, then changed up to this old T.Bose WT for the evening

Thank you very much on the comments on the Stag . They really did do a fine job on the Stag when they cut it into slabs. I just measured the max. handle thickness at .68 inch and the valley on the Pile side is over 1/32 deep but not quite that deep on the Mark side. Thanks again my friend .

Thank you also Alan : We have had a couple of beautiful days in a row of sun and high 50's to mid 60's with some more forecast .

Harry
