Ron & Ken, those 79 Workhorses look like outstanding knives!!
Praiseworthy puukko, Alan; congrats!Puukko by @killrathi
Marcin did a great job on a pattern I'd never owned (stupid me) but is obviously treasured worldwide. One favor from my fellow porch-ites. Please comment on the overall btightness/exposure of the photo as I just had surgery on my left eye and it's now obvious I've been compensating for years. Thanks.

Looks great Alan! I had both of mine done a couple of years ago. I couldn’t believe the difference it made!

Good to hear these testimonials to the effectiveness of cataract surgery, Ron & Alan. I'm not playing softball this year for the first summer since 1975 because my right eye is so bad I can't track fly balls correctly any more. I wonder if I enjoyed Alan's previous pics so much because his "compensation" was just right for my current impairment. I DO tend to favor nice, bright (overexposed??) knife photos.Thanks Ron. Literally night and day.
Nice, first one I have seen in the wild.
I’m not carrying any of these today, but here are the ironwood knives I have had out this past week.

That is an Awesome knife! Some hard earned patina...A friend made this knife years ago. He gave it to me in 1975. View attachment 943379View attachment 943380 I think I know what pattern he was thinking of.
