Omg you and me both. I ordered this in blue dyed kudu with the long vine file work on spring with a spear shield. Long vine work example on micarta below and spear on black below.

It would be awesome if ours arrive around same time.

Congrats on a great purchase !View attachment 2061433View attachment 2061434View attachment 2061435

A man of good taste. I have no idea of time frame.
Very nice design. I have one from Tinus Stone in kudu.

Did you order directly from Willem? I was going to but recently bought a K’roo from one of his dealers so he asked if I could order from them. Either way I’m guessing it will be March for both of us.

In addition to my K’roo Lambfoot I ordered this from Sheffield. Will see what the quality is like when it arrives. May or may not keep. Or may just use the crap out of it. View attachment 2061453View attachment 2061454

I contacted him directly....March would be nice.

Someone on lamb forum has been showing one similar. He likes it.
I like the grain and file work on yours.

From what I’ve been able to find in here their quality can be spotty. Fingers crossed.

I have heard that too. I am also having one custom made by Michael May. His are not bad.
This is one he made for me....top left.View attachment 2061471

The pair we received took about ten weeks from order to delivery

Bob, Willem is a real pleasure to work with and I am certain you will receive a fine custom lamb from him. I cannot find any faults on the one I carry.

He seems like a real gentleman from the texts he sends. It's sad, the working conditions he works under. Power off, internet down etc.
I will just practice my pacing. I realize great craftsmanship takes time.

I haven't closed the deal year, but it's been about 11 months of discussions and waiting to see the finished product from the UK knifemaker Shing. I sent him a mock up of a dogleg and he did a little "making it his own" as any knifemaker or artist might. What do you all think of the pattern?
