Thank you Ron.Dwight that’s a really cool coin knife!
I love Climatis Vine too Harry. I totally agree with you and Ron on the Lick Creek. That is a gorgeous example you have. Sorry to hear about your hand.Thank you my friend . Yes , we were in and out of Bay 3 a number of times during the day getting Stuff . Planting Climatis Vines with me having only one usable hand was a little harder than I thought it would be , but we got'er done .
I also believe that the Lick Creek Farmer's Knives are some of the Very Best that GEC has done that I am aware of and they have done a bunch of great ones
Thanks, Gary. I did get a beautiful rosewood specimen. But I have stellar stag and iridescent ironwood, too. I polished the AC blade with Flitz, and am going to try to keep the blades shiny on my stag and ironwood knives, but will use the rosewood freely on food, even, and let the patina form.Champion choices, Vince & John! I'm carrying my rosewood Union Jack all week, and it's probably my favorite lambsfoot, but it doesn't have the dark, rich wood that your African rosewood models have!
Interesting grouping, David.
Two of these
is there a rosewood lambsfoot coup d'etat going on in which I should be participating?
Thanks for the interesting info, José! You might like this thread about a variety of ways folks open their traditional folders: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/how-many-ways-do-you-open-a-slipjoint.1245274/
What an impressive stag trio, José!
Just exceptional! What's the handle slabs?
Thanks, Will
Thanks Jack! It appears you have it covered as well with that beautiful Ebony my friend! I hope you have a great week also Jack!
Thanks, Jack. That's some stylish, stygian ebony you're sporting!
Thanks GT. It is a "coin" knife. I don't have a pic of it open but you can see the blades from this side of it.View attachment 1136432
Why, yes; yes there is. Blame Jack. He sent me this "working" knife, for which I'm grateful. It's not perfect, but I'm less picky than some, and have hundreds of "poor, cheap" knives. They teach me things...
This one has been getting a lot of pocket time lately. It's a very good watch pocket knife, and fairly stiff, so I'm using it. My only complaint about the pattern is that I do occasionally miss the pen on my usual Jack or Congress.
Great choices for today Jack!Morning folks, treating myself to a Double Lambsfoot Day today
Thank you, Jack.Nice Rosewood and Rosemary John
Thanks Jack. Did you manage to hang on to any of those knives the cutlery firm handed out when you were a child? Imagine a coin knife made by Mr Shaw! Wouldn't that be something! Great pair you have today! Lucy and AC.That's one of the coolest coin knives I've seen Dwight When I was a kid at primary school, there was always a trip to a local cutlery firm, and all the boys would be given a coin knife (the girls got scissors). They were a very common pattern in Sheffield (and obviously elsewhere) at one time, but I think only Stan Shaw makes them there now

That's exactly what my wife said!Oh, I would'a been so mad!
Could you even imagine what today's parents would say if their kids came back from a field trip with a knife.When I was a kid at primary school, there was always a trip to a local cutlery firm, and all the boys would be given a coin knife
At first, the farmer’s jack/ Orchard Gem looks funny. One end is skinny, one is fat, the blade curves the wrong way, and it sticks out a lot when it’s closed.
