Lol... Had me laughing.I was looking at an old knife in a place the other week, and the dealer was telling me how unusual it was that the silver-bladed fruit knife I was looking at had a secondary pick, which folded out underneath the frame (lobster fashion). I had to point out that the 'pick' was actually the broken spring!
No apple pie, but we did have apple donuts and lots of apple tasting.Looking good John, hope apple pie is on the menu my friend
Ya! Throw some more food crumbs on there and it will look like mine.Thanks for the info, Ed. Your Harrison looks like it would be a nice slicer.

Thank you very much for the encouragement, Harvey!
Thank you so kindly, Charlie!!I hope you don't go over the beer budget, and your health is getting better!!
Beer and knife budget are the important ones!Exactly!I bought a new bed a few years back. I had it delivered, but baulked at paying for having it assembled. Took me a couple of hours to do it myself, and I ached for a week after!
Thank you so much for the encouraging comments Mark! They are certainly appreciated!I hope you can get your health issues sorted out and find some relief. Also, good luck with the home sale, that will take it right out of ya.
Beautiful Horn, my friend!

BIG HAPPY (belated) ANNIVERSARY to both you guys!! One for the newlyweds!Fine looking Barlow! Happy anniversary Vince. Today is my wedding anniversary too!
Hope you had a great day out with a great knife, Jack!It's been very wet here recently, the rivers are high, and the ground is sodden. Decided to skip going for a hike tomorrow, and visit the town of Pontefract, and Pontefract Castle, which I've not been to for over 6 years. Think I'm going to take Charlie Lamb with me
Mark......you're really making it difficult for me to post photos!Thanks Jack. Sorry to hear that you are having issues with them regarding your IP. I look forward to seeing more pile sides then!
Great photo, Mark!Fantastic coloring in those covers, Bill!

Great SFO to have by your side!But, I take my time doing that.
I think it's very unique coloring, José!I hate my HB stag, along with a photo.
But if it's not pleasing to you, you could always try the potassium permanganate route?.Both are certainly Weekend Pocket Worthy!A good weekend Guardians.
But your grand looking SFO Jack Special is 4 Season ready!A picture to remember summer by, bye summer...
Nice pairing, Ed! Your HHB is looking great!The Hartshead Barlow seems to be popular this morning so here's mine.

JohnDF
- Those apples looks as tasty as the image.
Hope it's a great day out for you guys, John!
The bears are Zuni Fetishes, Dennis! Something fascinating about spirits looking out for you (as an old Jesuit Catholic!)
Thanks, Dennis, once in a while the stars line up and I get a good photo.Outstanding shot of your SFO, Dave!!
Your HHB came out striking as well.
Thank you kindly, Harvey.
In life we cannot have everything we want.
While Bill likes my cherry wood M.May, I love his HB stag and I hate my HB stag, along with a photo.
Step forward @Prester John and @cudgee ! Happy Birthday fellers and Many Happy Returns to you 
Had some Penfold's Shiraz-Cabernet last night with dinner. Very nice.
There used to be a great importer of Penfolds wines here, but the company went under about 10 years ago unfortunately. Now I don't see them too often I'm afraid, and when I do its just the cheaper ones. They do some really world class wines I think. Hope you're enjoying a fantastic birthday my friend Thanks, and glad to be able to add a few thoughts to that classic vintage model.
Woke up to light snow on the deck this morning, fortunately I have a few good knives to help warm my soul...
Here is one of my favorites.

Hope you're keeping warm
It would be interesting, at least to me
Over the last few decades, the Sheffield makers have been cutting their stag much thicker than in the past, sometimes this is down to a lack of skill, other times to demand from their wholesale customers, often it's been led by the poor quality stag they have had to struggle with since the Indian Government's ban on Sambar stag (the Hartshead Barlows use Sambar which predates that). For the most part, I take what I get, the thicker stag can be more ergonomic on some knives, but I really do like the thinner cut stag, which I think shows a cutler's skill. What I really hate, and I've seen plenty of this in the past 20 years in Sheffield, is where they cut the stag too thick, and then grind off the bark. I have a Trevor Ablett knife, the handles of which are almost completely white and featureless, and the first "Senator" (their description, not mine), I had from Wright's, was simply awful (see below).
Thanks for the info, Ed. Your Harrison looks like it would be a nice slicer.

That just about shows what I was saying to
natchezz
above, nice thin-cut stag on your Harrison Brothers and Howson, and I hope that the stag on the Hartshead Barlow is an improvement on the other Sheffield-made knife Thank you, Jack, I prefer Thanksgiving over Christmas, there's only good fellowship, food and family. No hype and running around stressing trying to buy the perfect gift
Thank you, Jack, thats a fine photo of your CC WN Lambsfoot.

Hope you have a wonderful time my friend Exactly!
We didn't have much money growing up, dad working in the copper mines, so we were taught to fix everything yourself, and if you couldn't make it, you didn't need it. But now.......I'll pay for it to be done if we can afford it!
Hope you had a great day out with a great knife, Jack!

Really.....a grand knife, Jack! Nice shot of your WCLF!
