John Lloyd Knives

[Peregrin]

Just received these two smaller zulus by John Lloyd.. 3 7/16" closed. Stabilized mammoth bone and stag without a shield. They just keep getting better and better.

Oh boy, Alan! You're on a roll! Very nice! Love the stag and they's nothing wrong with that Mammoth bone either!

You know the stag is my favorite, but the mammoth is immaculate.

I agree with you on the stag Drew. It's as nice as any I own. The mammoth is immaculately done. Flush in all three positions, pull is about 7.5 and pinchable, perfectly centered, transitions are as smooth as glass, and sharp. Did I miss anything? I guess that's good!

I felt a great need for a knife with Missouri on the tang.
Whale bone Lanny

I also felt a need to not go outside for a photo. It is sweltering.

I was wondering who got that. Nice pickup of an outstanding knife.

Thanks.
My first Lloyd. Probably not the last.
The green and black flecks in the bone are interesting.

Those Eurekas are excellent!

 

[RayseM]

This one is just weird enough to be cool - might need to grow on you before you take it out in public

 

[Signalprick]

I love the blade shape of the Odd Job.

I love the blade shape of the Odd Job.

I took this pic today ,kinda shows it better. Neat knife

 

[RayseM]

I'd like to try one.

Not to be disparaging - rather sharing my visual impression - the open shape kind of reminds me of this -



A design that has proven to be very useful in nature.

Am I the only one who see this relation?

Ray I told John it looked like an Orca. So yes,I see what you're seeing & saying . We tossed around a few names. In the end,the " Odd Job " was voted in. Very unique utilitarian blade shape. The frame feels great in your hand
