I wonder if it's due to England's great history with the High Seas? They are awesome for knots on both land and sea!Thanks JJ, it's interesting to see just how many old Sheffield knives carried marlin spikes, from the huge Admiralty Pattern 301 to that diminutive Girl Guide Knife
Your Higonakami looks like a folding razor, quite a sharp partner for your Hartshead beauty!Pairing my Hartshead Barlow with a Random Tuesday Higonakami
Thank you kindly, Jack!!!Another fine pair there JJ
Looks great to me!Well, I’m a little out of practice but I doubt the fish will mind!View attachment 1583325
Thanks AnW, took me almost an hour to tie 1/2 dozen, should’ve only taken about 30 mins.Looks great to me!
Beautiful knife, ED.
Two great Case knives... love them both.
Looks good to me too.
Got an envelope via US Mail yesterday from @JohnDF. I’m now a proud owner of one of his slips. Really, pocket sheath, or pocket holster may be more accurate. And he didn’t send it empty!
This Boker Jack was in it...
Beautiful knife, ED.
Glad you're feeling well enough to get out today.
That's your fault... you gave me strict orders not to send you any more knives.My slip came empty.

"I definitely don't need any more knives."Just spoofin ya John. Yer right!! I definitely don't need any more knives.
Well, I know a guy!Looks good to me too.
I should learn how to tie my own flies some day... I keep telling myself that.
Mine arrived empty too Ed! But this little beauty arrived a few weeks later, so he must be getting those issues in the shipping department worked out!Whaaaaaaaaat - My slip came empty. Musta been a slack day in the JohnDF shipping department.
