Ooh - that's nice.

Handsome knife, Tom, and great job on your cane!

A couple of years ago, a storm knocked a big limb from an oak tree in the front yard, and as I cleaned it up, I looked for a branch that had a well-placed bend like you have for your handle. I couldn't find what I was looking for, so I used a longer piece of a straight branch to make a staff whose top is about shoulder height for me. At the top, it does have a little kink, then goes back to parallel to the original direction, which turned into a handgrip for me.

My ligneous knife examples this week are:
an Italian CEM with bubinga handle

and a British 2018 Guardians lambsfoot with ebony covers

Awesome knife, Kurt, and fantastic photo with the background driftwood having curvature that almost matches the curves of the Ettrick!

Thanks! The Pallarès started life with a plastic handle, and I re-hafted it in olive wood.

I thought the cane looked better unadorned, with just the black locust spacer between the 2 pieces of beech, but since my wife was going to give it to a resident of the same retirement community she gave the last one (which had carvings on it) to, she didn’t want the new recipient to feel like he was getting lesser goods

Walking after heavy storms the other day, I managed to scrounge raw materials for some additional “commissions”…
