Certainly a handsome couple, Ron! :cool: How large is your rosewood lambsfoot? My wife recently brought a 3.5" model back for me from the time she and our daughter spent in the UK.

Thanks, Gary. That little ball has been around (get it?! :D:rolleyes:) for a while now. Every once in awhile, I pick it up and try to make it more of a actual sphere. I fear it will be the size of a pea before I get it to were I want it.:D To answer your question, I have used a couple knives on that thing. I was attempting to make some progress on it with the Winchester.

Thanks for the info on the ball project you keep around! :D I've wanted to try a ball-in-cage sometime, but I thought I should "perfect" whittling a free-standing sphere first. I haven't developed an effective technique for that yet. :(

Compelling couple of knives, Ken! :thumbsup: I'm not sure why, but those old green Remington's always "float my boat".

I sure admire the way your knives look so well-used, FBC! :cool::thumbsup: How does your 99 compare to other "sodbuster-type" work knives?

My Bailed non-SAK of the Week is a Mercator Black Cat. I enjoy this knife FAR more than I expected I would! :thumbsup:

In the nylon case that contains my bus pass is a Case chestnut jigged bone swayback jack (thanks, Paul):

In the watch pocket this week is a skinny little Colonial jack (thanks, Mark). It laughs at all my attempts to sharpen it. :mad:

I'm with ya, btb01. I would grab one or two for sure.

Gary, the ball whittling is harder than I thought it would be. I started out with a square of pecan wood. Pecan is probably not the best wood for this but it being so hard it kind of forces me to take smaller chips thus being less likely to screw it up too much by taking a big chip in the wrong place. My technique, if you want to call it that, is to chip , chip, inspect, chip , chip , chip, inspect, set it down for a few weeks and repeat. haha.
The 99 is a bit thicker in the handle making it a little more comfortable. It being a lockback it allows me to thumb it open one handed. The option to open it with one hand is something I enjoy about this model.
I hope that answers your questions, Gary. If you want to talk more about either, you are more than welcome to PM me any time.
