Yesterday I was roped into helping my neighbors with some gardening work, weeding, mowing edging, ya'll know the drill.

Well on our way back from several nurseries, we stopped off at an antique store. I thought, hey they might have something too look at. Low and behold I used up the rest of my spending money. :D

Here is the tray they had sitting in a corner of the bottom shelf, As you can see, there are three sitting outside the box that came home with me.

Here they are, getting ready to get the SPA treatment, The Sowbelly and the Peanut are both Hammer brand, and the (Tuxedo knife?) is an Atlas from Japan. Haven't heard much about Atlas but that corn-row jigging on the (bone/antler?) was interesting and not something very common to me so I thought "why not?"

Overall not too shabby for $25

On a side note, the scales on the peanut really bug me, those faux scales that are hollow bubbles. So i'm planning to take those off and put some kind of nice wood on instead to make a shadow peanut.

any suggestions on wood?

Nice! I'd leave the scales be, but that's me. ;)
