Got out this Schatt & Morgan F&W series with a big spear blade of ATS-34 to carry today. Came as white bone when I got it a few years ago but I dyed it to its current look shortly after. Has steel pins and liners which is a look I really like in a traditional folder.View attachment 1128576

Two fine images. I also love seeing your other than Lambsfoot knives. The Case images is smashing.

William Rogers Lambsfoot.

Thank you Harvey, that's a great-looking William Rodgers

That is a very nice lambsfoot, Jack. As for the advertisement, was it pipes or tobacco or both that were in short supply or nonexistent during the war?

While tobacco was frequently rationed during the war, the combat in north Africa made briar (the root of the tree heath) for pipe bowls extremely difficult to come by. Several substitutes were tried, none of which proved entirely satisfactory.

Thank you for the compliment Dean, and thanks to our friend Frailer for ably answering your question

Miller Bros and Cattaraugus

Lovely pair Nick

I’m carrying these two today. One of my 2018 Forum knives and my Wright’s large Rosewood Lambsfoot. I’ve been out all day running errands and enjoying the beautiful sunshine and unseasonably cool weather!

Nice pairing Ron

2 Bolster Lambsfoot in rosewood and a GEC 15 in green linen for me today.

Beautiful pair, Jack.

Thanks, Jack. That sailor's knife really sets my sails. A handsome knife.

Vic Pioneer and the Case Tribal Lock again today. The more I carry the Tribal, the more I like it. The size and shape of the frame, combined with the slight swell of the bone stag, feels amazing in the hand. This is a very solid and sturdy knife, more so than other Case knives in my collection. No frame flex whatsoever. Nice thin flat blade grind too, that cuts like there's no tomorrow.

I'm not quite sure how to say this, but this is my best attempt to describe the bone stag Tribal Lock. It's a production knife, and the fit and finish is production quality. But the design of the knife "feels custom". The solidity of the frame. The way it feels in the hand. That perfect blade shape, and the way the blade flows with the shape of the frame when open. The interesting tang shape. The slightly oversized size of the knife. This all adds up to something that is as much artistry as it is utility. Really, really good knife.
