Have a fine day Jack. Cheers!Thursday tomorrow, and my early start
Happy (belated) Birthday Jose !!!Good morning Guardians.
Today is a great day for me, finally the knife that I offered to myself as a birthday present has arrived, although quite late (the birthday was on September 18th !!), it was worth all the waiting time, because in my modest opinion is a handsome example of a Lambsfoot Barlow this knife made by artisan Michael May.
Beautiful lambsfoot! Well worth the wait.Good morning Guardians.

The old "SAT NAV" it has replaced something that my mother said was not very common, "Common Sense". Was really interested in your comments about the cutting of costs and quality in the cutlery industry, this is something i have witnessed in many industries in my lifetime. But i think there is a renaissance in some industries beginning to happen. Over here people that are interested in history,and like good quality are now starting to look around for handmade bespoke products, especially in clothing and leather products, and craftsman work on home renovations.We have a craftsman expo over here in a place called Kyneton, where i am at the moment, after a few years it has been moved to a bigger location next year because of it's popularity. Our friend Chin is a regular visitor. I realize that these thing are for people that have been successful and can afford it, but a lot of people are also buying less as consumers, but are prepaired to pay for quality and buying not as much mass produced stuff but better quality, but less often. My dad always said, buy the best you can afford, quality over quantity. Hope this mind set returns to the cutlery industry, but i must admit i'm not holding my breath. Sorry if i got off topic.
I think you are right though mate, it sure would be nice to see the tide turn, so that people don't just buy a dress for Saturday night, and a tent for 3-day music festival, before throwing them away again after

Nice to see Mr May is learning what a Barlow is supposed to look like

Such a beautiful deep red color in that African Rosewood.Good morning, Guardians!
Thanks, John. I love the color, too. And the rosewood scales provide a nice "grippy" purchase of the handle, even though they are smooth.Such a beautiful deep red color in that African Rosewood.
Obrigado, José!Always a good knife. Nice picture Vince.
