A Hartshead Barlow for May Day!

I'm in! I've seen a number of posts with Merle in this thread, so I'll start with a couple that I took when I hosted him. Open water in Alaska in February because it's a hot springs:

And here's a photo that I just stepped outside to take so that my entry contains an actual knife that I own:

This is a "water feature" that I wish I didn't have, a large pool of melting snow right next to my house. It's gotten so big this year that I've been pumping it further into the woods and away from the house. It's either that or start building an ark. The knife is an AW&S lambsfoot, the basic model in rosewood. I love the blade shape but the knife has a number of fit/finish issues, so I would welcome the opportunity to try the Hartshead.

Here's one more shot of the yard from a moment ago:

Considering that it's May already we sure have an awful lot of snow still on the ground that needs to become water before we can have summer. But, it's 10pm and the sun hasn't set yet, so we're winning :)

Thank you for running this great GAW Jack Black Jack Black and congrats on 50K!

Not sure if it’s visible but I had a fox run by on photo 2 just above the blade tip and I couldn’t focus the phone on it fast enough.

Thank you :) Great pics :) Sorry to hear about the fit and finish issues with your Sheffield Lamb, not uncommon these days unfortunately :( I hope the summer comes soon! :thumbsup:

Thank you for all the entries, and fantastic pics folks :) There's still time to enter, or to throw in a pic if you haven't already. It's 9.00am here in Yorkshire, and I won't be drawing the winning ticket until early evening. Good luck everyone, I wish I still had a bunch of these knives, so that you all could have one :thumbsup:
 
I've just been going through this thread, and jotting down all the entries :) I'm pleased so many folks have entered, but thanks also to those who, while not entering, still came here with kind words, and some great pics :) The standard of photography is really high on The Porch these days I think, and that shows here. Thank you for all your efforts, particularly those of you who don't live too close to a river or lake, I never really considered that :D It's just after 4.30pm here now, and I'll let this run for another couple of hours, and then draw it at 7.00pm Yorkshire time ;) Good luck everyone, and thanks once again for all your kind words :thumbsup:

🤣 Thank you for this generous offer, Jack, and for all you do for this great forum. As a recent beneficiary of a nice JB SFO, I'll stay out of the running on this one, though it is a stunner. Cheers!

Where I live in England the sea is about 100 miles away in most directions, pretty central and we have the Thames/Isis as well as a canal.
Nothing beats the sea though.
