I have great respect for the skill of those who create elaborate filework, and how well some can fit it to the overall aesthetic of the knife or knives in question.
Me, I always picture how much detritus a file-worked knife would quickly accrue in my possession. I have enough trouble with lint and such in and on smooth surfaces!
Meanwhile, today's mail call made it immediately apparent that this is a White Owl day.
(Thanks so much, Jack! What a hoot.
)

A quick cell pic
Sealed the bone with renwax and a toothbrush. Did a quick hone of the blades. Its sharp but messy. The typical gec choppy edge bevels don't look pretty right away on a true flat benchstone. Oh well, its sharp and getting tossed into my luggage for a trip to Costa Rica in one day.

Really struggling to get a good picture in my terribly lit bedroom, but here is what I took along today when I met up with one of or other members....
...can you guess who it was?
(I could lie and say I purposely obscured the name....)
Wow! You got those pics up quick mate. I want to see those knives again now

^That's a beaut, Ed! Your taste in knives is very similar to my own... I'd follow you on Twitter any day! (if I had Twitter or knew how to use it or even had the desire to learn...)
