Good eye, Gary, it is indeed a Recruit.

Today was a Lambsfoot kind of day.

Nice one.
I guess not everyone likes yellow; mine is still available from the e-vendor where I got it. They call it "marigold jigged bone".

Tom, I'm sure I've seen your Lambsfoot knife before in different light, when you first got it, but I've gotta say, those ebony covers are spectacular. I like ebony for its extreme durability, but I've heard that in terms of aesthetic quality, the darker, more uniformly black pieces are preferred. I personally think that the pieces with some contrast in them look fantastic: and your one in particular, is just outstanding, probably the nicest ebony handled Lambsfoot I've seen. Great example!:cool::thumbsup:

I like your Helle too. Their knives also, are a great balance of practicality and beauty, I reckon. I've always enjoyed sharpening 12c27 blade steel, but I've grown to appreciate it more and more, over the years. I like how Sandvik's metallurgists have designed it to roll, rather than chip out, when pushed past it's limits, on the premise that it's much easier and quicker to restore a rolled edge, than a chipped one.

Another fine photo, FBC, and a cool lanyard, too. Your own design? Or if not, is there a tutorial anywhere? I wouldn't mind trying to do some of those as a project with my nephews.

I've got a soft spot for the Recruit - my own one's the oldest knife I have (not in age, but length of time I've had it). It accompanied me on many an adventure, before I got into knives. It's recently got to that stage of SAK nirvana, where the accumulation of memories on it, mean I don't take it out so much anymore, as replacing it with a new one, just wouldn't be the same if I lost it. :)

What a strange coincidence, Chin ... or is it Grand Design?? ;) I essentially started with the English phrase and used an English-->Latin translator to get my comment.
Thanks for your positive characterization of the knives I displayed. :) The Marbles Workman "trapper" is basically a scout/camp knife pattern with "arrested development": no can opener or punch/awl, but it does have spearpoint blade (with a little ruler on one side), bottle opener/flathead driver/wire stripper, and phillips driver (and bail/shackle). I consider it a much more "serious" knife than some other models in the Marbles Workman series that have little hammers or adjustable wrenches sticking out one end of the knife!

Serendipitous for sure, GT!;)

Thanks for the info on your Marbles Workman trapper. Nice tool combo. I like how you mentioned the bail with the tools, too - it's a handy feature for using the knife as a monkey's fist, when throwing a line over a branch, to tie off tarps, when camping; or hoisting up a deer for field dressing.:)

Well, they say money can't buy happiness, but it can buy this, and that's pretty close.;):p

Thank You for showing the Presto. I have never seen that knife. And why I enjoy the porch. To learn more about the history of pocket knives.
