Did your Traditional knife get a workout today? -Part II

[W.M.B.]

No problem. I just moved to Evansville, and never heard of pokeweed before. Also my large trash pickup is tomorrow. I just figured maybe.....

I helped tarp a very large pile of corn today, used this little feller to cut holes and trim. the edge held up better than what I thought it would

Thanks a lot Kevin That's one of Charlie @waynorth 's 'Ancient Barlows', a limited run based on an old Sheffield pattern. GEC left some 'scale' on the bolsters. There's lots more info and pics in Charlie's Barlow thread (you might have to do a search within the thread). Here's another pic for now

Sigh. I'll enjoy your pictures of sliced cheese and fried foods, while my Kent helps me keep my cholesterol down.
Lots of fruit and vegetable prepping today.

They look great. Enjoy.
The deer ate mine.

Few chances to see one around , though there are foxes on the railway track between my st and the parallel. Tomatoes don't interest crows, magpies or smaller birds.

Gave a test in a class today, and wore my lucky tie as I've done for taking or giving mathematics tests since 1969. But today was the first time I used a Vic Alox money clip as a tie clasp!

About time!
I never thought of that at all, to be honest.

I love it. I've been hesitant to put my 2nd Cut Stag #25 to work because it is so pretty. However, these look even better with some use and patina.

Too cool, GT!

Used this today to harvest shallots/spring onions and bok choy from the garden, and to slice chillies, lemons and oranges. (But I didn't get any pics of it in action.)

Thanks for the comments, Jer & Chin. I've been wondering for a long time if a Vic money clip could be used that way, and I finally picked one up at a consignment store while on vacation in August.

What a great idea GT never tried it on a tie but I have carried this old Winchester money clip for years instead of a wallet. It has a finger nail file and pen blade.
