Mail call I really like this #93 oily creek bone. Mark and pile sides are pretty well matched. A little different than most of what I have seen posted.

Thanks a lot guys, I'm grateful I've had mine 'on order' for several years now, so I hope Charlie will look after me

U got know he did jack.

Richest, blackest Ebony I have ever had the pleasure to handle.
Very thinly ground-mine measures < .015 BTE.
Monumental start for the Waynorth Cutlery brand.
Thank you seems inadequate, Charlie!

A lot of very nice knives and thoughts about them in this thread but the best thing about this thread is that "Charlie (@waynorth)" is around to give his thoughts post-stroke. I'm an ole grouch but his being here makes me smile. You guys getting these knives owe him a lot.

No doubt about it! Great to have Charlie's input and having him around is the best!

I totally agree One of my favorite aspects of The Porch, in general, is how the makers, designers, dealers, influencers and collectors all interact in the same threads. It is a rare treat I don't take for granted

Ahhh....got it. I remember when BF had a subform called "The Porch"

You are right...best damn forum around.

We may need a sub called The Couch with all the knives I’ve been buying lately.

Jack Black I'm guessing

 

[Campbellclanman]

I looked at that too and thought it was a nice gesture towards our friend Jack
Jack has done an incredible amount of work with the Lambsfoot.

One thing that struck me when I picked up these Waynorth Lambsfoot Knives was the thin carry.

 

[steelnut]

I can't wait for the next run of Lammy's
Hope there is stag!

Interesting reading of the history of the lambsfoot on the tube. My earliest memories of the actual blade shape are from the sixties. Nearly all the farmers here in Australia carried them in their pockets or in a belt sheath. They just called them either working knives or farmers knives, because the blades were strong enough for all the jobs around the farm and easy to sharpen at the end of the day because of the straight blade. They were also very common with gardeners, my Auntie who was an avid gardener had one, same reason good tough straight edged blade for all tasks in the garden. They were widely available through Hardware shops, feed merchants and all rural suppliers. Exactly the same history as on the tubes these knives come in. Wish i had bought a heap of them, they would be good collectors item's now, but i was a kid and had no money and did not know about these things. But the 2 histories from here in Australia and over in England match up. I will not mention the name, but the lambsfoot and the similar blade shape, that i am not allowed to mention were very common over here in Australia, but not known as those 2 knives, just work or farmers knives.
