Wow! Those are beautiful knives. The jimping of the top edge and the match strikes on the nail marks (plus the extra nail marks on the father's knife) are unique.Today with my new knife (although old) with the hands in horn of bovine, this Portuguese made by a craftsman from the village of Especiosa-Miranda do Douro, who has the son to continue his work.
The knife in stag is of the son that follows the lines of the father!!!

Dapper pair, Jack!
Dazzled by your dark Cadet on bivouac, Steve!
Decadent SBJr, Bob!
Danke schön, Stuart.The SAKs are a delight to see, GT, but the Taramundi is captivating - simple beauty crafted simply.
Its a cool little knife for sure. The smaller blade is an odd pen style maybe? It has a sharper drop to the tip like a lamb foot but a belly to the cutting edge like a pen.

Thanks for the pic to illustrate that decent little spey secondary, Matt.Yeah, thats it! A tiny spey!

That makes sense. I used a Colonial Forest-Master multiple times each day for at least 8 years growing up on a dairy farm, and had very little wear on the blade. But I never tried to sharpen it on the electric grindstone that we used for most of our sharpening (lawn mower blades, scythes, hay mower blades, etc.)Most likely that knife lived a life on the farm. They probably used grinding wheel to sharpen it.
This is what it looked like before I cleaned it up.

Delectable duo, Stuart; the pruner handles are especially distinguished!Was going to save these for Sabre Saturday, but will use for wooden Wednesday. A Sabre GESCUT 29 Barlow ("24" is stamped on the pile-side tang, but it is clearly a large Barlow, which is 29/629 in Sabre-speak) and Sabre 45 Hawkbill, both JAPAN. Want patina??

Delightful pair, Tom; the French Ivory scout looks dependable! Thanks for the electrician compliment. Be warned that Marnie is NOT a romantic comedy!
Distinguished knife, FBC!
Thanks, Barrett; I agree that the charred boxwood on the Taramundi is quite distinctive.Thanks, GT. Beautiful wood on that Taramundi!

Carried this one again today (and probably tomorrow, too).

Thanks for acknowledging my Taramundi, Dylan; I certainly do enjoy my souvenir and gift knives more than some of my more prosaic "I want that one" purchases....
I always enjoy seeing your Spanish knives, GT. Especially knowing how much they mean to you.
...
I had these three with me today, either in my pocket or lounging about on my desk.

Another distinguished A Wright and Son lambsfoot!! Congrats, lambertiana!
Thanks for the good words, Jack. With my slavish devotion to my rotation schedule, you can count on each of my knives showing up periodically.
Neat knife, Travman, especially in the way the covers actually remind me of a peanut shell!1972-74 Queen PeanutView attachment 765046
