Cudgel, it looks like it was worth the wait. A fine looking knife.

Thankyou my friend. It is a fine looking knife, that is one of the great things here on AAPK. The knives posted are collected by people who have a genuine passion for pocket knives, we cannot own them all, but just being able to see them is so satisfying.
It is an A.Wright made in Sheffield England, it is a Lambsfoot blade and the covers are old reclaimed Walnut. Thanks for your interest.kootenay joe wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 9:00 pm Cudgee, i cannot make out the tang stamp on your knife posted above. Blade profile is rather unique. What is this knife ?

But first, yes I think your auto is a fine looking specimen of the breed. The fact of the matter is that I have never been drawn to autos. I don't know why. Never having possessed one I don't think I could tell the difference between a very fine auto and an indifferent one.
But I'll tell you what you have done. Since you have come aboard and displayed your amazing collection, I slowly, reluctantly, haltingly, find a certain stirring of interest within me. Yesterday, I even had the thought that maybe I ought to get one. No, no, I must not let this develop. I can't allow myself to get "caught" by another genre of knives. I must limit myself to admiring yours. Still...
Why not add another monkey to your back? I've said those things before myself. Said them, and lied them. Good luck with that though.Quick Steel wrote: ↑Tue Oct 19, 2021 9:50 am That is a reasonable question Marco. It happens to be a question I was rolling around in my head just yesterday.

That's quite a dilemma you're facing Garry! LOL! I have a suggestion! Buy yourself a plain-jane Pro-Tech "Godfather" for about US$200., or, a Piranha "Prowler" or "Bodyguard" for about US$140. and see what all the fuss is about. I don't own any Piranha's but I want one so bad I can taste it. I do own a P/T G/F, and I can say it's one of the best built knives in my collection, everything about it is just about perfect! You'd better start grinding that organ, your monkey is getting restless!Quick Steel wrote: ↑Tue Oct 19, 2021 9:50 am That is a reasonable question Marco.

Fished this Ulster TL 29 out of the shallow end of the bay recently. I sure like those old WW 2 pocket knives. Not in perfect shape but about right for me. Thanks for looking. DSCN7346.JPGDSCN7347.JPGDSCN7348.JPGDSCN7349.JPG

I'm very glad you finally got it and that you're happy with it Cudgee...cudgee wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 12:34 am This has been an ulcer causing saga getting this, thought it had been lost in transit but finally got it this morning. I have been searching one of these for over 2 years. And it is a really nice little pocket knife, no gaps, everything sits flush, blade perfectly centred, just a beautiful well made solid knife.![]()
