Salutations, Ladies and Gentlemen! Today, I'll be discussing the last of my latest Michael May knives. This particular piece is a classic Lambfoot (or Lambsfoot) knife; a traditional English pattern favoured by farmers and shephards. This example features a gorgeous handle made of Black Palm 'wood'. Black Palm is technically not a wood, but rather a member of the same family as grass and bamboo. It has a dark colouration with a deep chocolatey-brown grain, making for a delightfully handsome handle. Double-swedged O1 carbon steel Lambfoot blade with a very stiff pull. (8-9/10) Polished brass bolsters, pins and liners. Fileworked spring and blade.
This piece is quite the contradiction. In some aspects, the fit and finish is outstanding. However, in others, it is rather subpar. Overall, it showcases Michael's main weakness: inconsistency. While I do think he has produced some examples that are less than what would be desired, I would still say I'm optimistic for him and his brand!
