Best I can do, but Tom has an actual set. I think it's amusing that the LF&C ad calls it a "Folding" set when nothing folds.

Thanks for showing the catalog page.

I thought in the podcast you said the oldest knife you had was one of these type camp knives?

Or was I mistaken?

The set I had mentioned was an old table knife set from LF&C as shown.
The blade is stamped "Lander Frary & Clark Panteted Sept. 25 1866".
Thanks for listening to the show.

Ok, I thought it was the type in the catalog page.

I enjoyed listening but it is hard to follow along without a visual of the knives being discussed.

I had a gorgeous Sommelier knife I let go of a year or 2 ago. Can't believe I never posted it here.
But here's my newest and only remaining LF&C.

Yes, I agree that it's challenging having an audio only podcast while trying to describe certain knives.
I know you like English knives as I do, have you listened to episode #35 with Nick Duggan and #45 with Steven Cocker?
Both provided some good information on Sheffield cutlery.

Nice collection Mark.

As always Mike , another nice rare one.

Looks like a great carry Gringo.

I like French ivory Neal.

Cool box Tom.

I used to have Two L F & C blue thermoses. Now I have two Rubberoids , one shown previously , and this bone L F & C farmers jacks. I believe you gave me this advertisement Neal back when we had phone conversations.(could have been Dimitri too) I need to talk to Steven Cocker to ask him if he ever cut the nail nick.
