Beverages and Blades - Traditional of Course

Cheers m'dears!

My ebony AW Lambsfoot helping me enjoy a pint of Brew York's session IPA at a great pub called The Phoenix yesterday (the ancient city walls can be seen in the background)

Any connection with your avatar?

Good to see you enjoying the Phoenix, which is certainly one of the best pubs in York. But that's the problem with York; it's chock full of 'best pubs'.

Lancashire ale for me.

Thanks my friend, I always enjoy visiting, and I know what you mean! What a feast!

That's a problem?

With an hour's bus-ride home, I certainly have to pace myself these days!

For my wallet and my belt. The first gets thinner. The second gets longer

An absolute feast! I couldn't fit anymore ale in after that

Both the beer and the blade were both made winthin an hour or two's drive from my house.

Chatham Brewery "Go Long" session IPA, and the Canal Street Cutlery Cannitler.

It's a cold damp day. So hot coffee and a soda scout for me.

I must be the only person on the porch to hydrate anymore. I'm having one of those "nothing can go wrong, and lucky" kind of days. I found a Racer5 in the back of the fridge. Pictured here with my trusty old Camillus.

@Buzzbait, Racer 5 is one of my favorite IPAs. Finding one in the back of the fridge would certainly be a nice surprise.

May I ask the model number of that Camillus? It's gorgeous.

Not the only one @Buzzbait just haven't had time to post many pics lately

Don't want Buzz to feel like he's "hydrating" alone, now do we.

An IPA I found in the fridge just now and the #14 TC that's been in my pocket all day.

@BuzzbaitMay I ask the model number of that Camillus? It's gorgeous.

I believe that it's a Camillus "Life Raft Knife", made for BuAer during WW2, circa........ probably around 1943. It's almost identical to the Camilus Engineers Knife made in huge quantities during WW2. They're actually a very common knife. At any one time, you can find 5 or 10 on auction. Some are used up. Some are relatively untouched by time. Many have been disassembled and combined with surviving parts. The quality is remarkably good for a knife that was produced on a scale that has rarely been seen in history. Camillus produced something like 5 million of these knives for the war effort.

That's the spirit!!!

The name of this gin may have been a factor in my purchase decision.

 

[Jack Black]

^ That is cool Greg

I'm not a huge fan of gin, but did rather like this one when I tried it recently I was probably carrying a Lambsfoot

A little Friday mid-morning pick-me-up.

That is a hazy beer. I'm more jealous of the beers posted in this thread than most of the knives posted on all of the porch!

This will be Rhubarb Schnapps in six weeks or so.

Put an edge on this US-made Schrade 12OT this morning and took it out for a bike ride (and beer) in the woods in the afternoon.

My long weekend in the mountains.
