A Case Whaler clad in Walnut without it's bail. If the boat ain't leaking, ya don't need a stinking bail.

Good one, ED, and a heck of an impressive knife, too!

No wood on my rotation schedule this week, but I always have a wood knife or two on kitchen duty. Been using this Italian sheepsfoot for food prep quite often so far this week:

Arriving just in time for Wooden Wednesday...
I received a couple of wonderful bowls from Dan @CelloDan
Not only is Dan a very talented wood turner, he's also very generous.

Thank you, my friend.

This one made of Walnut is absolutely gorgeous. Oh ya, the knife is wooden too...

You are correct on both counts. He is a kind and generous person, and a very talented wood worker.

Nice wood on that one. Really pops.

Charlie, that old Ulster with the SERAPH font is way cool!

You have a very good work knife there. I have a similar one, and it is a really sharp sturdy work knife. Not as good a quality as yours. These were once made in Australia, but like a lot of things now out sourced to Asia. But was very well priced, and a great go to knife for tough jobs.

That's definitely looks like a sturdy worker, cudgee !
The "TOLEDO" on the tang stamp doesn't indicate Spanish manufacture??
I used to know nothing about single-bladed knives, or sheepsfoot blades, but I've become quite fond of some inexpensive knives whose only blade is a big, sharp sheepsfoot.

Thanks for your reply. No " Toledo " is and old Australian company, now trading as Triden. This knife was made in Taiwan. Don't get me wrong, it is a sturdy well made knife, but not as good as the only Italian made knife i have. And yes welcome to the fold, Lambsfoot/Sheepsfoot are my favorite blades, and both have a rich history.

Beautiful bunch of Bareheads Charlie!! I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite but the third from the right is at least partially Divine. Thanks for sharing them with us!

WOW! What a group!
I think my favorite would have to be the Hudson's Bay.

Thanks for the Toledo info, and I see what you did there with "welcome to the fold"!

I may be wrong and will gladly stand corrected, but if my memory serves me correctly, would you have nominated your Italian Sheepsfoot as your best/favorite 2020 forum knife addition in the competition run by Jack Black, if you had have had it for the correct period of time in line with the requirements.

Yep, I wrote something to that effect in some thread here quite recently; I'm impressed you remembered that.
In my opinion, the performance/price ratio for that CEM Agricultural Knife is outstanding!

That is a very good observation. They are after all work knives. And the one major requirement for work knife is, getting and keeping an edge. Have a good weekend my friend.
