Arthur Wright Lambsfoot Stag Workback Folding Knife - Right Hand 18

I can't fault this Knife on anything,One of the scales is much thicker than the other which gives it extra character and makes it fit my Hand perfectly,All the filing is exquisite and the overall quality is outstanding,Buy one you can't go wrong.

The knife I received is excellent. The blade is perfectly centred, the back spring is strong and the stag scales are fitted perfectly. Also postage from HH was was very good ordered in the morning arrived next day.

Bought this in December 2016. I justified the purchase by convincing myself that this was the gentleman's pocket knife that I would keep my whole life and perhaps even pass on. Unfortunately, after two years of ownership it was looking in a sorry state. The first problem was my fault and not the knife's. I lost it for a few months and by the time I'd found it again it had developed some rust. This was a bit worse than surface rust and needed the lightest of sanding to restore. Unfortunately, as the knife cannot be taken apart easily the rust between the scales cannot be accessed and is getting worse. This is my fault but is also, in my opinion, a shortcoming of riveted knives made in a steel that has a relatively low resistance to rust. Secondly, I don't really understand the whole left-handed/right-handed thing. Once scale is thinner and concave and the other is thicker and convex. I really can't see how the asymmetry is helpful whichever way I am holding the knife. I would have preferred both scales the same. I suppose I'm going to have to take the rivets out to clean the rust so I might as well make some symmetrical replacement scales whilst I'm at it. Not something that I wanted to have to do to such a nice looking knife.

Bought this classic pocket knife to be a gift. Really please with the example I received, excellent file work on the back of the blade and back spring. Pretty sure it's not the nail nick that denotes this knife as left or right hand. The horn handles are matched so that one scale is scalloped where your *index finger wraps under. The blade itself is polished and takes a sharp edge with ease. Lovely example of a knife still made in Sheffield.

First of all a thank you to Heinnie for the excellent service and fast postage. Secondly what a awsome little pocket knife. Sturdy, very well made with no cosmetic faults. Workmanship is of genuine quality.... and I'm really fussy over this stuff! Came sharp, few stokes on a steel and it shaves hairs of, worked back looks great. Opens and closes with a reassuring snap and with no sideways movement of the blade. In all I'm very happy and will be back.

I've had the Senator for a couple of years and I'm generally pleased with it so decided to go for the workback. The knife arrived next day (great service) in a jiffy bag, the knife itself was wrapped in clear plastic and as soon as I took it out of the jiffy bag I could see the first problem , the blade is completely off center and touching the liner on one side. I took it out of the plastic wrapper to give it a once over and found the dodgy blade centering isn't the only issue, the fit and finish are pretty bad in general Gap on one side between the stag scales and the liner Gap between liner and back spring that I could watch TV through There's also a dink in the underside of one of the bolsters The stag scales are also thicker on one side than the other and one side is convex and the other concave. I don't know if this is actually intentional and why it's called "right hand". I 'd assumed right hand just referred to the placement of the nail nick but perhaps it refers to this, either way I don't care for it, I prefer symetrical scales To be honest I'm a bit disappointed that this was sent out like this, the off centre blade was clearly visible through the plastic wrapper. I appreciate that returns are free but it's still inconvenient to have to send it back So it's going back and won't be bothering with another as I think there's a high probability that a second would also have issues. I really wanted to like this knife but it's put me off Arthur Wright, don't think I'll bother with there products again (unless it's in a shop where I can sort through half a dozen and pick the best) Chris

Very pleased with overall quality. Nice file work. Blade centers when closed. The stag scales are good quality and very tactile. The best bit is its British.

a simple thing like having the nail nick on other side shows time and consideration for us lefties, so answering gents below yes they are just opposite, stunning knife I have had mine for several years and its a lovley hand me down keepsake as will go forever.

Being an avid knife collector, fancy getting one of these "older fashioned" knives for my Dad's birthday. He probably won't appreciate it and will end up throwing it in one of his junk drawers and will stick to his wee Leatherman Micra I gave him years ago. I'm a bit confused that HH offer this knife as both a left and right handed knife. Is this a joke / error ?? Whats the differance ?? Images of both, look the same. Is the nail nick on different sides of the blade depending on which model you choose ?? Any advice appreciated. Dad is right handed.
