Wooden Wednesday - Traditionals only please

[paulhilborn]

Paul, what is the story behind the Walnut on that run? Am I correct in remembering that this wood came from the gunstock on Charlie’s Father-in-Law’s rifle?

Actually, the walnut gunstock was Charlie's fathers if memory serves? and his father in law was Stew, which the one arm TC honors.

Thanks for the clarification. I wonder if Stew had only one arm?

Been a while since I pulled this'n out . . . it'll be fun to compare it to the new forum sheepfoot when it arrives.

Good to see this again Jeff It's a grand pattern and I have exactly the same knife, don't use it as I'm on the lookout for another one or maybe bone, micarta to take up as a user. Feel these would be a very satisfying user but I need backup

Regards, Will

Thanks, Will, and I do understand the backup sentiment. I carry so many large stockman patterns that I just don't need to dirty up this beautiful cocobolo to use a good sized sheepfoot. And as my sig line shows, I prefer a lambfoot for a single blade straight-edge. It's more versatile.

Jan Potgieter - Gentleman's Folder in Sneezewood with stippled bolsters.

When the white settlers first arrived in SA, they found that fence posts made from Sneezewood never rotted or got infestation...........it is considered to be one of the most durable, bug and rot resistant woods in the world, having been classified as “Imperishable” in its native South Africa. The wood has been found to outlast both iron and brass when used as machinery bearings. Part of the wood’s status of being little known in the western world is due to its great strength, stability and durability; for centuries, it has been utilized in a variety of functional roles in South / Southwest Africa. You can still find fence posts out n about the fields and veld today from all those years ago.

One more. Case ebony sowbelly. Signed by Tony Bose and everything!

This one is an example of how Case can make a knife if they want to. F&F is the equal of any GEC I have in my collection.

mbkr you’re not kidding! I was lucky enough to get one of these in my collection. i even have the certificate. What a nicely made knife.

Today, I'm carrying the "used" version of Half/stop's 93 in Cocobolo, along with the 29 whittler in beau d'arc, osage orange, or if you are from Texas, boe' dark. This is the maiden voyage for it... the first time I've carried it. It might become addictive...

- yes, they have some really interesting woods. Have a pocket knife of Rooibos (as the tea) and Umtiza.....let alone Namibian Camelthorn - so, so special to have a piece of the country on your knife
