Great to see an arrival in Canada

Don't let it get gummed up with Maple Syrup though....

But, I believe I still have the most northerly one 63 ° North.

Thanks, Will

This thing is built like a tank!

I have seen your beautiful barlow posted many times, and i have always wondered what the story behind the engraving was.
Would you mind sharing the meaning behind it?

Gorgeous knife overal!

On the Road Again with Merle

Well, I didn’t expect to be starting this thread just yet, but the cat’s out of the bag, so here we go. 🙂 I’m sure you all remember Earl the Barlow (bit of a scoundrel, running from the fuzz in Yorkshire, joining up with pirates and whatnot) and Pearl (a bit more civilized, though she did enjoy...

I read your comment way to fast for a minute I thought I was in a episode of Miami Vice.

That 2019 BF knife had the silkiest, smoothest, sweetest action :thumbsup:

... also I am older now ... my reflexes are not as fast anymore

But perhaps I still have it in me ... just one more shot at greatness

Hopefully I'll throw you of that throne soon. 64° North checks in.

I shall have to relinquish my crown then

and I certainly have no plans to move any further North

Hail to the New King of the North

What's the coldest it gets there in winter?

Thanks, Will

Don't place that crown just yet...we may have to take this to decimals. I'm just a little shy of 65°N in Fairbanks, Alaska! Where in Iceland are you

Jacques Mi ?

Will Power · Nov 5, 2021

Are people ALIVE up there on 65°

Here in Finland, Utsjoki is almost the most northerly place. Population 1200, it's on 69° 54

and it's 990 kms from where I live.....

I'm hoping somebody lives in Greenland.....

Reykjavik. The world's northernmost capital.. For good measurements

beezwax

Will Power a well kept secret is that it doesn't get that cold here in the winter but rather just really, really rainy and ditto windy. Don't tell the tourists.

Ah I've got you by a very little bit, 75km or so! Reykjavik is 64.1°N and Fairbanks is 64.8°N rounded to the nearest tenth. I had the good fortune of spending a few days in Iceland about ten years ago, beautiful country. And yes--I was visiting in February and was surprised by how mild the temps were, rainy weather. In Fairbanks at that time of year average temps are -20 to -30 (°C) and -40 is common. Our school kids have outside recess every day unless temps are below -28°C.

Lots of people! Fairbanks has a population of around 30,000 if you count only city limits, but the greater borough (metro region) is closer to 100,000. The most northerly place in Alaska is Barrow (Utqiagvik) at 71.3°N, population 4,500 and about 800km from me (but you can't drive there, there are no roads). Now if we have a BladeForums member living in northern Greenland they would have the title for sure. Thule (Qaanaaq) is at 77.5°N!

Off to another basketball game tonight. Thought I’d snap this picture before I go. Colors are really starting to “pop” around here.

“Cha Ching!”

Will Power · Nov 5, 2021

beezwax Oulu is Finland's 5th largest city with nearly 210 thousand population and it's right on latitude 65° not that far from the Arctic Circle. I lived there for a year, well it didn't feel like living really.....walking down Hallituskatu one Feb. morning the thermometer showed -42C no weather to be walking anywhere in a wind

In early June the puddles were still partly frozen.

Look forward to seeing your knife in situ

is it being delivered by Husky Sled?

Thanks, Will
