Just happen to have a couple of woods with me today.... the 29 stockyard whittler, and the Forum knife.. osage and African blackwood...

 

[hornetguy]

ooooh... pretty wood. what kind is it? Doesn't look like cocobolo, and the grain is too open for rosewood, it seems.

ooooh... pretty wood. what kind is it? Doesn't look like cocobolo . . .

Thanks man, it's curly zebrawood, and was Queens standard offering from 2011-2014. It is pretty stuff, so here's a few more!

That's good stuff.... I have never heard of curly zebrawood... I like it.
All the Queen knives I've looked at, and bought, have been bone.. usually winterbottom.

My rotation schedule happened to assign me several wood-handled knives this week.
A "souvenir" SAK clone from the pharmacy in the small town where we vacation each summer:


A French pattern, Laguiole, imported from China, that my daughter got in Spain and brought me in the USA (talk about global economy!):


A 1967 Buck 110 that belonged to one of my brothers for decades, but he gave it to me several years ago:


An A. Wright & Son rosewood lambsfoot I call Union Jack that my wife and daughter got for me when they visited York, England in the spring of 2017:

Where in the UP do you vacation?
I lived in Houghton/Hancock from '78 to '84 (Michigan Tech).

Couple of African Blackwood knives. The right light and contrast with the surroundings really brings out the interesting color and grain in this 86.

 

[JohnDF]

I really like your Union Jack, GT.

I lived in Houghton/Hancock from '78 to '84 (Michigan Tech).

We've rented a cottage for a week or two in Cedarville on Lake Huron's north shore since 1991. That's almost as far from Houghton as you can get in the UP! I really know nothing about the Keweenaw Peninsula "out west"; I think the farthest west I've been in the UP is Munising and Pictured Rocks. That pic of the SAK has Lake Huron in the background.

I really like your Union Jack, GT.

I appreciate your saying so, John. Not my "best" lambsfoot by any means, but probably my favorite.

I'm sure the fact that it was a thoughtful gift from your family makes it a treasure.

I never spent much time west of the bridge. The Keweenaw is extremely scenic. When I lived there it averaged 260 inches/year of snow and in '78/'79 we broke records and got somewhere around 380 inches. That much snow is simply unimaginable unless you've lived in it on a daily basis. Really great if you're into winter sports The summers were fantastic
Lake Superior is the prettiest of the Great Lakes, although they're all scenic.
Its on my bucket list to get back up there for a visit some day.

- what Willie calls his 'Joseph Rodgers' pattern. Old, very old, piece of Olive Wood apparently...

Have a great Wednesday, fellas

Stainless and grenadilla wood knife by Spanish knifemaker J.L. Perea, with a patented locking mechanism:

 

[JB in LV]

I prefer ebony covers and had to get over it for this one; the cocobolo is very nice and the manufacture is exceptional. The spear sees 75% of the use, so here’s a look at the clip and pen.
