TOPS Knives "Lil' Roughneck". 3/8" thick at the spine, 6 3/4" overall length. Heavy, awkward to pocket carry. Would need a custom sheath, or extensive modification to it's factory pair of pants, to make for practical everyday carry.
Mine arrived with a roughly 45 degrees per side secondary bevel (the smaller edge that gets the sharpening stone). I spent several hours changing that bevel angle, and putting a slight convex on it. If I'm patient, I can get it to cut in an acceptable fashion, but it remains the nearly exact opposite of Spydercos and other high flat ground thin-stock slicing machines.
It's fun, in a knuckle-dragger kind of way, but that "indestructible" feeling comes with compromises in cutting performance that you will always say to yourself "God, I wish this thing had a better point on it, without giving up that thickness".
Today with this excellent old knife that unfortunately was shortened, maybe a Lambsfoot, with a magnificent stag, which has no mark and I think it was made in Sheffield!
Happy Easter everyone ! One of my "festive" EDCs on top .... Now, the wife asked me to take and post this photo her Easter EDC as well, to wish you all Happy Easter, too.
