A TALE OF TWO KNIVES
I've been lamenting the loss of my Cougar Claw here, many have sent Power and well wishes

went one stage further last week! Andrew unexpectedly and very kindly sent me his superb customised Churchill, itself a knife with a tale to tell having fallen from his truck
It has these really smart Rat-Tails done by himself. Imagine my amazement to find he sent me his knife as a consolation for the loss of mine! Remember too, it had to cross not just the USA but the Atlantic and bits of the EU to get here! A traveller indeed.
Well I was so struck by this that I redoubled my efforts to round up the missing Cougar. I started groping down the sides of an old sofa, tight fit and a lot of questionable things there...old food
Surprised there weren't rodents
Then I feel something stuck and my knuckles nearly skinned...there it was! Out comes the Cougar a bit tarnished but fine! Not only this but a long lost Rough Rider Mini Copperhead as well!! Now this all happened the day the Ebony Churchill arrived and I don't mind admitting to being superstitious because I am but what a sign and a find
The Ebony is going back to Andrew next week with sincere thanks, what a turn up. I also lowered the Sheepfoot on the Cougar and very pleased with the results. This is a fine pattern well suited to all size hands as it's broad but not bulky, two great blades and no hint of rub yet excellent W&T on both examples.
A Tale of Two Knives, It was the worst of times, it was the best of knives & friendship
Many thanks to all, Will
