ICC 5 , i recently re watched the excellent PBS documentary on the US civil war, there are so many names bouncing around my head and it would not be hard to imagine any one of them whittling, some even tick all the boxes so far, i will try a question now and a backup guess later  :tu:

Question, did he later become President ?

Wow...those are nice! I can see why you have more than one.  Are you going to be getting any of the wood ones? :tu: :cheers:

Thanks. I´m not sure I understand what you´re asking, these have wood handles (ebony and beech).

I like the ebony you have. The olive is another wood that is offered.

That´s most likely. In that case there´ll be no Laguiole stamp either.

Yeah, by memory there are no stamps at all but has the feel of cheapness to it

General Grant had two habits for dealing with stress: chewing on a cigar and whittling. He was noted to be constantly whittling, often turning big stick into little sticks.

Well played, Borg!
