Nice Lambsfoot Steve. Wright's still use that exact same blade blank, do the same pattern, use the same stamp. Even the Sambar scales do not mean that it was made before the Indian Government ban on stag exports, it took a while for that ban to bite in Sheffield, and even now, Wright's occasionally turn out one of those 'Candle-end' models with Sambar. I got one last year. The stag has mellowed, but the Sambar they're using was often cut decades ago for cutlery handles, and the construction (number of pins) is exactly the same as today. So, your knife could be 5 years old, 10 years old, or 20 years old. You could perhaps hazard a guess from the amount of wear it has had, but that might merely indicate that it was used a lot, rather than that it was used over a longer period. In terms of the construction, I think that Wright's have pulled their socks up a lot in terms of QC, but that is only over the past couple of years, so again, the quality of construction tells us little. I'm assuming it has brass liners, if not, that would indicate an older knife. My guess would be that it was made within the past 20 years, but it's hard to say more than that, particularly without examining it. It could be older, but it isn't an old knife. It might help if you said where you acquired the knife :thumbsup:

Thanks Jack ! Yes it has brass liners. I bought it used from someone on another forum. I could ask him I guess if he bought it new or not. I appreciate your knowledge :thumbsup:

Glad you are finding the Klein useful, and glad to get a look at that old Challenge Cutlery jack!

As many of you know, this one is usually in my pocket. I don’t post often here since the same knife would get a bit redundant.

This lambsfoot loves to break down cardboard and open packages and bags. Today it got to open not one, but two big bags, prepping the smoker for an early morning light to make pulled pork tomorrow.

Nice carries everyone. I enjoy perusing once I get home:thumbsup: worked up by the Lake today staining a deck. A wee bit humid and overcast, not like I need help breaking a bead:eek::D stopped by the dam/spill way on my way home to hit the overlook:thumbsup: Had my Bushboot and a favorite TC with me today. The 2013 Spear/pen in ebony served a role as a loaner to my good friend Duncan in NZ due to the loss of his Single spear 2013 TC in ebony. That lost TC has now turned up to Duncans surprise and joy;)

Very Porchly Neighborly of you to provide a loaner, Paul!
I see I’m not the only one to wonder why you did not just happen to have a fishing pole along!
Spillways below dams are usually great for fishing.

You’ve been showing those two Case knives a lot lately, and I’m overdue in complementing them! Both are gorgeous- the stockman would match up nicely with my amber bone Texas jack!:thumbsup:

That is a beautiful bit of stag, Alan.


I am going with a wee bit of stag myself today, paired with a most excellent TC and a bit of coffee.
