I admire your enthusiasm for Python, and enjoyed reading about some of your experiences with it. Thanks for the recommendations for resources, too.
Jack, I agree; this thread DOES move too fast for me currently to comment on as many posts as I used to. I think for September, I'll try commenting only on my two favorite posts for each page.
I'm glad you retrieved those stag lambsfoots, Jack; yours is splendid. But I'm sad it was at the expense
Congrats, Joshua; that is a charming couple of matched lambsfoot knives!! Lovely and distinctive!!
Here's one of my knives that never rotates out of my pockets (thanks, @r8shell ):

I wonder what the Latin would be for 'Lambsfoot'?!![]()
Have you and @kenspen been consulting on thematic photo composition, Greg?!?That's a clever pic and appealing knife!

Thanks GT! I always enjoy seeing your scrimshawed RR. My knife is a Case medium stockman. It was originally chestnut jigged bone, but I tried my hand at Rit dying it to deepen the color. The mark side largely resisted my efforts, but the pile side turned out nice.I admire your enthusiasm for Python, and enjoyed reading about some of your experiences with it. Thanks for the recommendations for resources, too.

Sometimes, we're our own worst enemy.
I think about food too much!Ron, your lovely pair of knives reminds me of strawberries and cream!
Very nice, Shawn & Mark!!I've also become a beneficiary of Alan's thoughtful generosity, and I'm enjoying tracking his gift across country right now! Thanks, Alan!
Glad your AC is working again, Tom!I feel like I'm getting "soft" because both my car and my house have AC that I use almost constantly during the summer; up until about 8 years ago, neither had AC.
Great pair of knives; good to see you enjoying that Rem. Scout!
Thanks, Stuart.It's more knife than my lifestyle requires, though.
Thanks for the kind Keen Kutter compliments, Jack & Dean & Spaten.I think it's my oldest knife (but not even 90 years old).
Dean & Spaten, those are some nice Cases you posted; what size are the stockman knives, and what does Case call the covers?
It's positive, but not everyone believes me!Still working on my sales pitch after 45 years!
Outstanding pic, Ken; the bone does look like it could be the same composition as the billiard balls.What ARE pool balls made of these days, and could it be used for knife handles?
I've wanted to use that phrase for ages, @Dschal ; well done!!
Phenomenal gent's knife, Randy; Glenn really outdid himself!!
Happy trails to you until we meet again, Jack!I admire your flora and fauna lambsfoot pair!
Congrats, Joshua; that is a charming couple of matched lambsfoot knives!! Lovely and distinctive!!
Zwei wunderschöne Böker Taschenmesser, @r8shell ; sehr gut!
Definitely barking with the big dogs today, John!
Superb pic!I can hear The Doors singing, "Riders on the stag".
Have you and @kenspen been consulting on thematic photo composition, Greg?!?That's a clever pic and appealing knife!
Thanks for the rationale, John; makes sense to me!
That's a gift from @Whetstone39, and it's ideal in the kitchen; it can span the biggest onions and potatoes I use, and it is a fine example of "grind thin to win"!
Thanks, Dean. Until a week ago, I had an Opinel #8 Garden Knife in the kitchen; maybe my favorite Opinel because of its spearpoint blade (although I'm ambivalent about the Inox). But I gave that to my daughter as a kitchen knife when she moved to Minnesota.
Such a sensational knife, Dean; jaw-dropping jigging is just the start!
Think positive, Ron!!

Love that 92!I saw it was delivered to the mailroom Gary. And knowing how that can go with a 3 day weekend I figured it was safely tucked away in some dusty old room. Happy Labor Day.
Even carrying this radically (blade & body) modded 92 has given me the opportunity to appreciate its virtues.
