The blade shape is definitely weird. It's like a spear, but not really a spear- kind of like a rounded off wharnecliffe. Like a wharnecliffe that goes to school with popular spear points, so it changes it's look to fit in a little better. I have a wharnecliffe version similar what
@r8shell carries, and if it was better put together I'd carry it more often.
LOL!
I too find it a little weird.
I'm happy they make a single blade jack, but that one doesn't do it or me.
The blade is like a super skinny Zulu and the handle shape is too narrow and pointy.
Yeah, I'm not sure what the thinking was behind it. I'd have been perfectly happy with a standard Spear, or a Wharncliffe. You are right about the handle shape. The ebony is nice at least!
Same 29 today, but with newly arrived Pocket Blade from
@Redmeadow Knives
Nice Pocket Blade Mike, and it compliments your 29 well
Thanks Jack! It has that kind of grippy-texture feel to it, and looks as nice in person as it did on the website. My photo doesn't do it justice, but I will work on that
.
It looks both practical and classy Tom
It's finally getting cool enough to keep hand sanitizer in the car. The inside of a car in the summer in Texas can make the alcohol leak and spray all over.
It does make me think of an old spear blade after a lot of sharpening. I'm sure it cuts just fine, though.
Thank heaven for small mercies eh?
Yes, me too
It arrived nice and sharp, and since I've only carried it a few times, it still is!

Three more interesting knives Gary, I didn't realise Sabre had had some knives made in Ireland, by Jowika I imagine, but I've not seen one before
I'm sure these two stout beauties helped you get through the day, Jack!
Thanks Jack!!!
I've been toting these two Robeson Barlows as the day zipped by.
Thank you JJ
Two beautiful Barlows there my friend
Thank you Jack, enjoy the upcoming weekend
Thanks a lot Paul, you too pal
Working on the sheath for this so had the knife in my hand or next to me for a couple hours today. Rose did the handle and I did the kydex.

Mexican bocote, truly beautiful in the sunlight.
Very nice
That's an interesting blade shape, are the spine and edge non-parallel?
Thank you, Jack! A fine pair you have today - the Hartshead is always worthy of note and that Ebony Gunstock is such a finely made knife (one of GEC's best efforts, in my opinion). I had two from that run, one in Ebony and the other in Cocobolo - I kept the latter due to its uniqueness and gifted the Ebony to my biological dad. It was his first GEC after having used and collected Case knives for many years.
That is a fine duo, JJ, I love that red sawcut!
Back to a favorite color combo for me today - black and red.
Thanks a lot Dylan, the #44 was a kind gift from Duncan
@Campbellclanman I hope your dad likes his as much as I do mine
Nice red and black combo there, my favourite colours too
Hope everyone has had a good week, and that your weekend holds some promise
I'm toting my #44 again today, with a large ebony Lambsfoot SFO
