No doubt about it. You're a lucky knife-nut VinceIt makes my heart sing every time I look at it.![]()
It's called an Ettrick and is a type of knife used by sheep farmers from the 1700's according to our Jack Black. See this thread:

Agree wholeheartedly...Opted for a matching set of Case Jigged Chestnut Brown Bone covers. These covers are some of the best bone they’ve done in years.

I‘m totin’ a new custom fixed blade today from local knife maker Evan Miller (Hawk Wing Forge). It is 5 1/2 inches long and a joy to carry. White G10 handles and a 30 degree inclusive edge, fantastic little slicer.

I've been out of action since Sunday and gotten way behind on this thread. I had a minor outpatient procedure (think "frontal colonoscopy" with a camera and laser) yesterday to remove a 12 mm (think .47 cal. bullet) kidney stone (first and, hopefully, last). Today, I'm in pain management, so am a bit dopier than usual. I'll try to catch up on some complimentary comments on the recent fine postings soon. Today, this is about all I am totin' around the house: a Belknap Hardware barlow from 1968-1985.

Thanks for the compliment Dylan!An exceptional photo of an incredible duo, Ron!
Went with this older Barlow today. It isn't the finest of knives but I really like it. It practically sings when you open and close the blades, some of the best walk and talk in my collection.

What a sweet Bower !!That looks like an exceptional fixed blade, Tom! That looks like it would excel at just about any day-to-day chore.
I hope you recover quickly, Stuart! I've never had the pleasure of a kidney stone (knocking on wood) but I've had buddies who have and they say it's less than pleasant.
Thank you, Jack! Great duo you are sporting today.
I'm usually not too crazy about such knives, but that is a beauty, Dwight!
