Happy New Year! You are right about that 44. I had one like yours. Ebony on that frame is flat out beautiful. I should get another and hang onto it. Who knows, my nails and joints might improve enough to manage it. What I have is not curable but I have been managing it for four years. I am fortunate that I can enjoy our hobby. Learning about and having traditional knives brings me a lot of joy and being on the porch is icing on the cake.
Although I favor two or three blades I love that Ram Foot. Selling mine was another mistake. But I have learned that you have to keep and use a knife before you understand it’s worth to you, as you obviously understand. Beautiful user!
So, when I turn 60 years old, I can say I'm still in my 50s for another year?
I'm no mathermatishun, but I'll agree with GT.Bring on the new Roaring Twenties!
I'll carry the 2019 Forum Knife, and something older:
