Here's my blade for the day. It's a Landers Electric Slicing Knife frow the 1960's (i think).
18" long with 9" blades
POB : somewhere behind the blades
ok I didn't get it from Albion, I just used the box as a background.
enjoy the day,W

Well maybe the next next next Generation Albion line after Peter has run out of models to research and design.  
You can easily give up your freedom. You have to fight hard to get it back!

I'd feel less guilty about using that to carve the turkey than my Talhoffer. BTW, what did the big white box once contain?

The big white box brought me a bronze sword and a Del Tin blade from the moat sale. W

If Albion did make carving knives, they'd have the Squire line for turkey cutting reenactors and the Next Generation line for folks who actually cut real turkeys.  I wonder if there's an Oakeshott typology for carving knives?
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. .

You might be making a suggestion that we'll all regret. You do remember Peter Johnsson's sword typology that was introduced in April, right?

Indeed!

Turkeys are usually lightly armoured, so a good thrusting tip isn't necessary. Broad shearing cuts are more effective.

For a direct attack on prime rib : The Prince.
The best cutter that I have yet used.
We did some cutting on water jugs earlier and I couldn't resist.W

Excellent documentation of both the cutting and thrusting ability of the Type XVI !

Today's blade is The Laird. Very effective against a lightly armored opponent with slow reflexes.
Merry feasting to all, W

William,
This is a classic post. Too bad we do not have a place to place comic posts!
I have to say my eyes were drawn from the sword to the prime rib instantly.... looks like it was very good!
We do not get Thanksgivings off here in the UK (strange eh). So we will be doing it with a numebr of friends on Saturday. No swords here to cut the turket up with but I have one somewhere of domestic use for the sword if I can find it I will post it.

That was a fairly old comment, so I think it is about three Aprils ago, now. I was refering to Albion's April Fool's article in which they introduced Peter Johnsson's typology of swizzle swords (those little plastic things they put in drinks).

It is not bad for William C. Champlin to use a sword to slice a turkey instead of a knife. What do you guys think? Want to try?
