Now there's one I regret missing out on....:( Simple, beautiful, functional. I hope we see some single spear blade wood Charlows again soon.

Love your coffee mug, Paul! My neighbor across the street is from Belfast, watches all the Ulster games on satellite.

Maybe it's time for a new thread: traditional knives and team mugs?!

That's a sight for sore eyes! I'm covering for a colleague in Barra for the week and everyone supports Celtic here. My wife is the football lover in our house she's a lifelong Glentoran supporter (so rangers by default) ;)

Edit: you should start that knives and mugs thread, I bet Andi would post nearly every day! :)

Eric, that Cattaraugus is absolutely beautiful! What is etched on the master blade?

Al, it says "Scotland and Munro, Cohoes, NY" Cohoes is just north of Albany, NY, probably around two hours east of Little Valley.

It sure is a fine knife, and I've definitely got a soft spot for these old beauties :)

Man that is a well done knife. Really digging that file work. Assuming it is a custom?

And thanks for the compliment on my fixed blade. Made for me by a talented NC maker. He's also creating a couple more for me after I seen how well I liked this one. Woot!

Looking forward to seeing his next creations Joe:)

I wouldn't quite call it a custom, they're made by Manu Laplace, a French maker. I know he gets some of the parts CNC'd somewhere else. It's all shaped, fitted and finished by him though.

Cattaraugus Cutlery Co., Little Valley, N.Y., U.S.A., circa 1886 to 1963, cocobolo wood handled swell end jack, 3 1/4 inches closed. The blades have half stops and this one is still snappy. :) This ole knife has a look that is a little smaller, however, similar to the GEC 15 frame.

I like the swedging on the front and back side of the blades.

I love and hate Wooden Wednesday at the same time. It makes me acutely aware of my lack of slippies hafted in wood and how absolutely gorgeous they are. Perhaps I'll just have to get copies of some of my favorites and have new scales put on them.

Gorgeous! Wow I love that one!

Question: Is that forward bolster steel/iron and the rear bolster nickel-silver? The forward bolster shows definite patina, but the rear looks just as a nickel-silver bolster would look. Never seen this before but can't help but notice. Not sure what else would explain that?

And my ebony Radio Jack, which is now an indispensable component of my EDC:
