I usually avoid modifying my knives with a couple of exceptions. But the smooth bone 78 seemed to be the perfect pallet for scrimshaw. I sent this knife to a very talented artist named Linda Layden, and I love what she did to to this knife. It really captures my imagination and seems to adhere to the time honored tradition of seafaring knives.
So where am I in my top 14 GEC patterns; 15, 25, 35, 42, 43, 47, 72, 73, 74, 77, and 78. Three left to go.
Beautiful ebony knives

! Perhaps my single favorite cover of them all. I got a laugh out of your comment about Jack
@Jack Black rejecting your Case Wharncliff Trapper as a NON Lambsfoot. He rides herd very closely, but I can understand why he does it. The Guardians thread is unique and one of the best. As I was forced to trim down my collection, I reluctantly had to let all of my Lambs go. Now, I dare not post anything suspect over there. I do miss the Guardians and peep in every once in a while. It is like reading a James Herriot novel and very much worthy of Jack’s zealous guardianship. I have Yorkshire on my short list to visit when things settle down.
Thanks

, I know what you mean. If it is not done well, scrimshaw can look tacky.
