      I received it from Brian Fellhoelter at Blade 2012. It was in his pocket, and he was nice enough to let me buy it off of him. He carried it for a year or so, and actually upgraded it with the newer machined pivot and accents a few months before the show. Here's the back side…

                  I bought this in Japan eight years ago for about $60 USD and its been my go-to knife ever since. It keeps an edge better than any knife I've ever used, and as often as I use this blade, you'd think it would need sharpening pretty often. I've sharpened it twice in eight years. I hone it after 4-5 uses or as needed, but its simply a fantastic knife. It's slightly flexible and has a nice thin blade that makes precision cuts effortlessly.

                    My buddy has a high carbon Chinese cleaver. More of a blunt instrument than your beauty, but razor sharp and has never needed sharpening, after quartering birds and all sort of abuse.

                            The fellow that Giles hooked me up with to make a sheath for my wharncliffe has agreed to put jimping on the blade.  I think that's gonna rawk.

                            Hey folks.  Anyone know a good sheath-maker?  I'd like a nice leather one for this Wharncliffe, 3 1/8" blade.  It was intended to live in a neck sheath.

                            EDIT: Happily just found a Duluth, MN sheathmaker who made this, which is the look I think I want… May have to visit them..

                                    ^thats a beauty knives that and Case are so old school. Reminds me of my Grandpa's knives. I like the newer knives Begg, Hinderer, Martin etc… but for me they don't have the nostalgia of a classic slip joint.

                                          Thanks! I've always wanted a nice Lagiole. The name "lagiole" isn't protected and anyone can use it, so you have to do your research before you buy as there are only a handful of versions tht are actually hand-made in France. The rest are made in China. The engraving on the spine is actually the maker's mark of the guy who made my knife. I think Lagiole En Aubrac only has a dozen knife makers on their team if memory serves.

                                          That Chef's knife is pretty, but it always cracks me up how inexpensive it was. The durability of its edge rivals any other knife I've ever used. I really dig Japanese steel.
