OK, I have to order a letter opener!  Thank you for the commitment to great wood and WWP!

Lars,

Beautiful woodwork! And very functional too! I have made a dozen or so wooden spoons and the last one that I made for my wife was made from a Calomondin tree (a citrus similar to a Kumquat with very bitter fruit). The wood was incredibly hard and pretty difficult to whittle by hand. My latest foray into woodworking/whittling has been to make wooden chains out of a single block of wood (either 1"x1"x12" or 18" pieces or 1.5"x1.5"x12" or 18" long pieces). I have done them in zebrawood, tulipwood, cherry, cocobolo, black and white ebony and black ebony. I have a piece of bocote that I may do my next chain with. I would've never thought of doing inlays as you have done, but that idea combines two beautiful materials into functional pieces of art! Well done Sir!

That's pretty cool stuff Lars, I've never thought about that. I'll have to make me one fom my own cast iron.

Comment by Lars Ray on February 27, 2015 at 22:58

This one is a lard knife (not a larding knife - that's different). In the age of cast iron cookware, this knife is used to scoop lard from a container (think Crisco) and apply to the cookware to both season it and protect it from rust. Today, these knives are purchased from me for all other kinds of uses.

Made of Oak with Turquoise inlay.

Another style of Lard knife - Hickory with River Stone inlay

This one is a baker's pie knife - Hickory with River Stone inlay

This is a condiment knife - Walnut with Onyx inlay

And finally, my trade mark Letter Opener (stretching as a knife!) - Purple heart wood. 100% of the sales of this piece when ordered is contributed to The Wounded Warrior Project. The good news is that it is hard to keep these in stock!

Those are quite nice indeed Graeme.

I'd had some good luck with a pocket sheath from knives ship free.  It holds my Krein TK4 really well.  And also has a little area for debit/credit cards.  Might try for a pic later.

i know, I'm just pointing out the obvious. Both you guys, Clint And Alexander, make some awesome knives. I do like the drop in sheaths, perfect for the pocket. I have a couple of older German hunting knives where only the blade is covered and they dont stay on so well. 

Comment by Alexander Noot on January 29, 2015 at 1:54

I agree Michael, a good sheath or bladecover is a MUST in a fixed blade. But that's true for all fixed blades and for folders both. So that's kind of a given.

Comment by Clint Thompson on January 28, 2015 at 9:18

Michael you make a good point which is near and dear to me as well.  The pocket sheath should be form fitted and would have to cover about 80% of the entire knife.  I too make my own sheaths and in the past have made my own holsters.  In the near future I am purchasing a leather sewing machine and just play around with ideas which will come upon me at the most inopportune times.
