Something a little different for this WHW of 29 May: A French made chopping knife.I bought this one because it was so unusual in shape.

Cool knife Ray!
Thank you sir. One of the things I love about accumulating knives is the virtually endless variety of them. Just when you think you have seen every type of knife ever produced,something else comes along.When researching this particular specimen I found that they come with a wooden bowl that is specifically shaped to the knife to facilitate chopping whatever(usually vegetables).I'll  probably look for one of those even though it is unlikely I'll ever use it.

WHW for 5 June: Picked up this 80's era spring operated knife by Cumosa of Mexico that was sold by the Edge Company in Vermont.Not an expensive knife in it's day(about what I paid for it today:$12);it functions by pulling the lanyard on the rear that retracts a clip going over the blade tip and a long tension spring pulls the blade open. To retract the blade;you pull it slightly forward and then fold it closed making sure the latch goes over the blade tip.

Don't remember seeing this thread before, but my current EDC allows me to be here: an artisanal Bandida, from the same maker of my Laggy. Been carrying it for a couple of days, but still haven't had a chance to use it.

Glad to have joined, Steve!

It's a traditional portuguese/spanish design. It exists for a long time, but being hand made and in small quantities, it's not commonly known in other places.

Thanks! I just got to use it yesterday. Cutting a cantaloupe and some cheese (Queijo da Ilha, Açores) for diner.

Super sharp, took care of both without a problem.

Wood Handled Wednesday for 12 Jun 2019
Thought I would post a couple of views of this unusual carved,"penny" knife. The origins of this knife go back a LONG time and were so called because of their inexpensive construction allowed them to be sold very cheaply. Whether or not they actually cost a penny is open to discussion. Most were plain handled and rarely stamped with a maker's mark.
This particular one is stamped with what appears to be a hatchet or tomahawk and the handle is carved as that of a female being swallowed by a fish. The eyes are tiny black beads. Have no idea who made it but it is interesting.
