Fantastic little knife always seems to work its way in my pocket when I'm working with plants ect at work will most likely become my wood pigeon knife too
Love it! So much so that I've had one in the works with TFSS for a week or so now. I wish I saw your analysis before I pulled the trigger but you reinforce what I already thought. Thanks for the video. Best!
The Famous Sheffield Shop calling using the telephone is always a pleasure. There'll be a trip to the shop one day. You'll get first class treatment in the flesh. It'll be a treat to look at the stock before you buy.
It's a fabulous design. Essentially a small scalpel for the hunter! I really need to find one or two! The Dragonfly is sure genius. The Ettrick is poetry in motion and that bog oak looks fantastic! When I was in grammar school, we were told that we have been coming out of a mini-ice age for the last two hundred years. Tree Ring analysis from around the world also shows that the European Dark Ages were indeed Dark and Cold and was probably caused by a comet making impacting and exploding in our atmosphere.
I’m sure I can help you out with that at some point! The Ettrick really is a penknife with a man-sized handle. Very functional, without being massive in your pocket. I’m sure that man-made global warming is a thing, but I’m also pretty sure we’ll cope somehow. After all, if we can warm it up easily enough, we’ll find a way to cool it down or at least to cope with the warmth.
Aye, the Ettrick Valley was just up the road when I was a kid and the Ettrick was a popular knife. Although it didn't seem to be known as the Ettrick. Everyone called it a 'gutty knife', or 'little gutty'. I can remember sitting on the doorstep at home and watching my brother making a fixed blade version out of a buggered Slater Venture pocket knife. I have no idea if the Ettrick knife gets its name from the Ettrick valley, I'm just describing a memory from my youth.
My parents lived in Ettrick village for a while and some of their ashes are interred at Ettrick Kirk, right up at the head of the valley. It’s a lovely part of the country. I very nearly moved there myself, but the prospect of my wife and mother as neighbours was too horrific to contemplate!
Another very nice knife for your very impressive collection of Sheffield knives. The Ettrick is, I think, my second favourite pattern after the Barlow. I always think the Ettrick should be in stag but other natural materials will do. I recently saw a custom made one with micarta covers!!!! Sacrilege🤣🤣🤣
I’m never keen on any traditional knives in micarta (or G10, cf etc.), but I do have a couple. Stag is my second favourite after mother of pearl, but that’s both rare and expensive! Bog oak makes a nice change. I’ve a bastard sword with a bog oak grip. I wanted it to have an air of antiquity about it.
You're right Eric Mother of Pearl is the ultimate for the bling factor.I have a couple of TEWs in MOP but they are for special occasions.I certainly wouldn't take one out fishing where the chances of damage or loss are relatively high!
Wonderful pattern. Interesting presentation on it as well. I have the basic ettrick and absolutely love it. I just ordered the Otter-messer weavers knife, which is also a wharncliffe. Cheers!
I’ve a few Otters too. They make very nice knives, but I don’t know much about their production methods. I’m sure you’ll not be disappointed. My favourite Otter has a blued sheepsfoot in white smooth bone with an inlaid brass anchor.
ettrick pattern..interesting, never heard about that! they remind me of a bit more "swayed back" sway backs with slightly shorter blades. really nice pieces, i love traditionals👍
Beautiful pattern pal I love em I always thought the whole knife was designed by the gamekeeper end earl not just the blade why ettrick that deserves some research 😉👍
I believe it’s the blade shape that Wharncliffe and hi gamekeeper came up with, but I don’t know where the Ettrick connection comes from. It could be that Ettrick had Wharncliffe up to fish or shoot? The borders have plenty of both.
I suspect we’ve fallen out once to many times now! The man’s a fool and way too thin skinned. I should have dropped him long ago when I first figured him out, but he can never see when he’s in the wrong and wouldn’t have a clue if I explained it.
He does seem a little on the fragile side. Unless you always say the right thing. I have never commented on his channel. Wouldn’t want to upset him by saying the wrong thing!
That one on the left with the brass bolsters is rather tasty, likewise with the stag in the middle! And I agree that J Adams stag is a bit boring. Since you are taking about dating the oak, as you know, I love old tools, and I often wonder about the wood it's made with, some of them are over 100 years old, I often wonder how old the tree was when it was felled, then there is the time to dry, and of course back then it would have be air dried which would take a long time, beech for example can live from 200-300 years, and many tools are made from beech, who knows how old that wood might be, perhaps 400-500 years, Oak I believe can live for 800 years depending on the type of oak, so who knows how old the bog oak on that knife may actually be, I find it fascinating. Climate change however is about nothing more than than an excuse for more taxes and control IMO, the climate alarmests are so worried in fact that they will take private jets accros the world to have meetings and big fancy stake diners to tell us plebs how awful we are. I can't wait for our masters to introduce a social credit score, CBDC etc etc Good video as always.
The brass ones are from Michael May. The one with stag is a true Ettrick with a wharncliffe blade, whereas the wooden one has a peach pruner blade. Both are great though.
Just started watching. I have never been more jealous while watching a video of yours! I need one!!! But I still don't have an Instagram, bah! 😂 This might be answered later in the video, but does the Famous Sheffield Shop have these? In Bog Oak? Just finished the video. Good gracious, I hope I'm not too late!
The official Arthur Wright website is now listing the Ettrick with Bog Oak handle as available. I put the website address on here for you but my comment was removed. Look for the words penknives and scissors and you'll be on the correct one. Once you've found the Ettrick, click on the options box and you'll see the Bog Oak that you so lust after.😀
@@ed.barker7069 Thank you for telling me. Although, I am in Email communication with the fabled "Jane" at the Famous Sheffield Shop. I think I may have myself an Ettrick!
@@TheStreamingEnderman you should look at Michael May and Steven Cocker too. Both make excellent versions of the pattern. Michael’s have bolsters and caps too, both in brass. There’s a choice of blades too. Steven will make anything you want, but be prepared to wait a while… it’s always worth it!
Awesome video! Tragic about your friend's dissertation. It's a shame when real data gets suppressed because people are afraid it doesn't agree with the mainstream narrative. He may be interested in reading a paper published in Nature by Petit et al. 1999 entitled "Climate and atmospheric history of the past 420,000 years from the Vostok ice core, Antarctica". He may find some interesting parallels between his findings and theirs.

They make a great edc knife that can cover most tasks with ease.

I think that bog oak is nice looking stuff. Thanks very much for the look at this one!
Very nice as usual Slick
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks, Eric. I learned a lot about this really cool pattern.
I boughtone on your recomdation quite a while ago and it great historic patern for my collection.
I’m glad it didn’t disappoint!
The Famous Sheffield Shop calling using the telephone is always a pleasure. There'll be a trip to the shop one day. You'll get first class treatment in the flesh. It'll be a treat to look at the stock before you buy.
One day I’ll get to Sheffield and do a tour of the makers and retailers.
Thank you sir. The bog oak is a good looking handle material.
It’s great for a pocketknife and I hope to get more.

I’m not sure about that, but she’s certainly charming on the phone!

Every day’s a school day for us all, I think! …and long may that continue!
how is the steel on these? Does it hold an edge well for whittling and such?

Very good review. Like all your reviews. Hope Paddy as calmed down now.
He seemed upset for no reason with you the other day.

Good video as always.
I have a piece of Bog Oak that's 5000+ years old! Unless it was a website typo, it's ancient!
It could well be. I think that the wood my friend was digging up was hundreds rather than thousands of years old.
The brass ones are from Michael May. The one with stag is a true Ettrick with a wharncliffe blade, whereas the wooden one has a peach pruner blade. Both are great though.
