This has me throwing my little Queen Stockman into my watch pocket. :cool::thumbsup:

 
Our fuel oil for the Monitor Heater was delivered yesterday soooooo, it's off to town again today to pay for it, mail bills, have lunch at the Wagon Wheel Cafe and go to the grocery store for odds and ends not picked up Tuesday. Before going to the grocery store, we're going to stop by the Stock Yards for a look see since I haven't been out there for quite awhile. This calls for a robust knife so, I'll be totin my new (new to me) 9-dot 1971 Linerlock Case large Sod Buster with me.

Thanks Jack!!!

You're pretty close to a triple lamb day with those three great slicers; looks like a fun slingshot project, too!:cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Yes JJ :D Thanks my friend, should keep me busy for a while ;) I was sat outside whittling yesterday afternoon, and I was surprised how many people stopped to ask me about it :) :thumbsup:
 
Looks like El Greco's Toledo painting. What kind of blade, Joshua?

You got it, Vince! It is El Greco's View of Toledo. It is a custom one-off that French maker Roland Lannier did for me upon request. The model is his "Spring Heeled Jack." He used resin and layers of paper along with the pages I sent him of the El Greco from an art book I own. The knife has carbon fiber liners, the resin covers, and the back spring is a piece of g10 sandwhiched between stainless steel. It is extremely light for a knife that is about 4.5" in handle length. The blade is a drop point in 14c27N and flat ground to an extremely thin edge. I can't find a picture of mine open, so here's a photo of one of Roland's own models (from his website), using pages from a comic book:
