Fingernails screeching across a blackboard doesn't bother me. But the thought of that Lloyd blade going across that plate makes me cringe.

Rondeau is a beauty!I’ve only ever named one other knife. It isn’t normally in my nature to attempt to impart living characteristics to inanimate objects. But this knife is indeed organic in ways both real and emotionally perceived. It will now be called Rondeau, named after one of my favorite legends of the Adirondack Mountains; Noah J. Rondeau, the Adirondack hermit.

Now, here's a little knife; I think that it is, at 2.75". my smallest stockman: an Imperial stockman from 1935-1945, riding in my pockets today with a Golden Rule Cutlery Co. (Chicago, 1911-1921) swell center whittler, a whopping 3.5".
It's good to see something older than I am Stuart. It's good to have goals.

I saw one like it when I was a kid, but I'm pretty sure mine was predominantly green. I figured the big black spots were fake eyes, though now I think of it, it isn't obvious what good big fake eyes would do you.Thanks Dean !! I saw him come in for a landing and ran for the camera.
