Old Friends Friday

This find predates the demise of the old flea market, and that's a fur piece back.

It had such a pronounced steeling cusp and hollow that I almost didn't buy it, but it was a Henckels Zwilling, and it was well under $5.
My recent gaucho enthusiasms made me notice that it needed a little more shaping and I'd left the new edge flat.
I think it's turned out quite elegant, and very sharp.

Not the same one I started with but I have carried a 34OT for 40 years now. I guess that makes it an old friend…

Is that an 'Improved Muskrat' Jer?
screened porch said:
I think so.
A friend of mine used to have a fear of eternity, which I think is rather rare. I'm there already: Friday? Sunday? Last week or last year? The eternal now. 😁
Here's a better svelteness shot:

LOL! :D Cool pic :cool: I had an acquaintance with a fear of tomatoes, and another with a fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of his mouth! :D I had a knife like this as a boy, and r8shell r8shell sent me one just like it, half a dozen years back :) I keep it in my wallet :thumbsup:

I don't know what Schrade Cut Co called it. I think it's an improvement on the muskrat with two of the same blade; it's more versatile, and thinner and shorter than it would be with two long blades having to overlap.

Willie Garvin had a word for that. He'd cured an old girlfriend of it by teaching her to eat her toast upside down.

Rachel's been here six years already?

I don't know what Puma called this one either.

Real German blades assembled in China.
I see I haven't sharpened it.

Well, possibly.

It looks from your card that now only the steel comes from Germany, and it's all made in China.
I hope the 13/ on mine and the 18/ on yours are years and not Rockwell ratings.
