    This is my latest " best friend " .
    Its an old 1940T Schrade liner lock knife .
    This things Carbon blade is " wet your pants " sharp , but very delicate .It only gets used for fine work and lunch duties , cutting sandwiches , peeling apples .
    Hard work is reserved for the other two I carry each day , a CRK Seb and a Leatherman Surge , those plus my mini torch and I'm good to go .

    This is a great old knife .
    It just has something about it , a X factor that I cant describe .
    Its funny if you get it out in public to do a cutting task . The first thing people say is "cool knife , my father / grandfather had an old knife like that " .

    Parcel arrived today.
    Spyderco Stretch
    Spyderco Delica 4
    ESSE Zancudo

    The Stretch is great in the hand, probably a bit big for an EDC but will give it a go. The Delica is straight away my favourite. Razor sharp.
    There was plenty of room in a 3lb size limited parcel cost from the US so I grabbed the ESSE for fun and it too looks a good little EDC. Not as sharp as the Spydercos but yet to see a strop or hone and looks as though it will come up very sharp.

    Ivory Svord

    We had an antique dinner gong that she hated, wooden base with metal plaque that said "Sierra Leone 1905".
    The gong was suspended by red cord from 18" long elephant tusks.
    I was going to sell it on TM, and was out at Svord picking up some knives when the subject of Ivory came up, and the difficulties around selling it, seems I'd only be able to sell it through an auction house......so a deal was done......I got this and a Peasant Knife.......now she says I'm not allowed to get blood on them

    That's some beautiful material. I once saw a few knives with Mammoth Ivory handles.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Mammoth Ivory is sort of readily available, has no import/ export restrictions and doesn't cost moonbeams as they're no longer a threatened species, as opposed to Ivory. I've seen plenty at a knifemakers in Howick......if you're interested ?
