Glad you like it. It’s a K’roo Lanny’s Clip. The blade is CPM 154 but Willem is using magnacut now. 3 3/4’s with some Westy micarta. The show side micarta looks different. And most interesting is this knife wasn’t made by William. It was made by his son. I think it was for a test. The carving pattern on the spring is outstanding on this one. I am a K’roo fan obviously. I enjoy talking with Willem about knives. He’s so knowledgeable about the history pocket knives. I always learn something. And I have ended up reading some great books about South Africa. You never know where a pocket knife will lead you.

Thanks for the info.:thumbsup: Everything about that knife appeals to me, you have a dandy there. Hats off to the maker for a well designed and executed knife, and to you as well for having great taste. :)
 
Objects complement each other visually while balancing natural forms with crafted tools in a simple eye-catching manner, on a dusty window shelf in an old sea captain’s study. The mysterious arrangement rests undisturbed.

An ever faithful Buck Canoe pocket knife, forged not just of bone and steel, but restrained by spells of loyalty, rests open in the curve of a conch shell where soft voices borne of ancient oceans, echo whispers from Davy Jones’ locker. The blades shimmer faintly, not from polish but from residual magic once used to carve through cursed ropes and unlock hidden compartments on spectral ships. Beside it, a carefully crafted cobalt Venetian glass sea bird cradles within its beak, a goldfish, guardian of water-bound secrets, forever captured in a suspended world.

The objects are more than mere decoration. They are relics from the captain’s final voyage into the Veil Sea, where time loops and tides speak in riddles. Legend has it, the knife can still sense danger, and the fish reacts to lies when spoken nearby. Those who pass the display feel an odd tug in their memory, as if they've seen these items before, perhaps in a dream or former life. Whether talismans or trophies, the collection sits patiently, waiting … for … wait for it ... Thrifty Thursday

DISCLAIMER: I'm old but was never a sea captain

I'd have to get a tribe to live in it with me, or I'd be constantly running around checking on mysterious noises.
Except I'm deaf as a post, so I'd be constantly running around looking for mysterious noises.
And it wouldn't be too hard to recruit a tribe, I guess. There'd be plenty of room for danseuses to work out, for instance.
Yup, I could live there.

This is what I need for the honeysuckle I was working on with a Camillus #1 yesterday.

Sorry about the focus, but I could tell the first shot was perfect.

Love that combo! Fine Lockwood's Pruner/Long blade Ettrick and that Chopper.. Miller but not Lite ;):cool: Like the 'scratting' on the handle XIX but why 19? Interesting bail and screw construction. :thumbsup:

Thanks Will. The bail still spins a 360. Most were busted off over time.

I believe the scratting shows X F X. Bob said the poor fella must of had skeevy mates on the ship to scratch his initials in the covers😁 Here's a few close ups.
