I’m glad you had a good outing Jack. I hope everyone has a fun and safe weekend.

Lucky Betty! I'm jealous!

If you ever make it to my neck of the woods, I will gladly buy you as many tacos as you can eat.
I will also trade tacos for meat pies.

Jake & I are back working at the plastics warehouse. They called and offered me better pay than I was making at the aerospace job and no union dues ( 95$ a month )

Thanks a lot buddy, that'd be a fantastic time, though, I have to say, I can't eat like I could when I was a young feller Probably just as well!

You are clearly a man in demand my friend Interesting shot of your Hartshead Barlow

Nice to see that beautiful etch showing strong through the patina!

Had a fantastic walk today, only a few miles up the road from where I live, and on footpaths and bridleways I've not walked before

Hard to believe you're barely on the edge of one of Britain's biggest cities.

I passed through a couple of ancient hamlets, winding my way along narrow lanes and footpaths.

I was glad of the shade along the way.

Eventually I arrived at the ancient village of Shadwell. The village library wasn't open.

But the fish and chip shop was doing a roaring trade. The building dates back to 1637, the oldest in the village.

And there's a pub of course, where I enjoyed a great pint of Timothy Taylor's

Back home, I put a very large blackberry crumble in the oven

You done real good on those Jack That etch should be visible for a good while, I always kinda hate to see 'em go.

Sorry to hear about your lockdown problems my friend! It’s great you’re stocked up and eating well! It pays to have friends and most small local owned businesses remember their loyal customers during times like these! That’s not something you get with the big chain stores! Stay safe and well!

Thank you for your kind words and thoughts, but it is not a problem for me, we started stage 3 lock down on the 22nd of March, they were slowly wound back from early May, but i thought this was too soon and kept on going about my life as if we were still in lock down mode. So i have personally been in a lock down way of life for nearly 5 months, the current restrictions have not made much difference to me. And i always support local business where i can, you build up a rapport and connection over time which you cannot get from large chains and multi-national companies, plus it keeps the vibe of the community hub alive and well. Hope you are going okay over there, stay safe and take care.

Very sorry to hear about the lockdown mate, hope it can be lifted again soon

We are going to be in stage 4 till the 12th of September at this stage, but i feel we will be in some sort of lockdown for a lot longer, possibly into next year, we will be wearing masks into next year, of that i have no doubt. But it does not worry me, i am used to it, and there are a lot of people all over the world doing it a lot tougher and harder than me, but thanks for your kind words. Mate, it's all good, my parents brought their children up to be fairly resilient, as my sister used to say, " Just get on with it". You have a good week my friend, and enjoy your walks.

Thanks Duane, I hope (this side of being dropped in an acid bath) that etch will be permanent

...as my sister used to say, " Just get on with it". You have a good week my friend, and enjoy your walks.

Brilliant! Thanks pal, take care

Ole Lumpy made it's way into my pocket this afternoon. It made ease of disposing of a few cardboard boxes, gliding laserlike through the material with little to no resistance to the thin capable blade These knives are awesome!

 

[cudgee]

These knives are awesome!

As discussed many times in previous posts, this is the reason why these knives were the preferred carry knives of farmers, they were work knives being able to be used for most tasks at hand, and with the straight edge, ease of sharpening at the end of the working day. And my friend the one you have in your hand is a " Pearler ".

Thank you! We’ve been exercising safety precautions since the first of March here. So far so good! Stay vigilant!

The crumble looks delicious Jack! Thanks again for all the great photos from your walk today. It truly is a beautiful and historically rich area you live in Jack!

Thanks, I really like it, it was a second. but in my eyes it is a beauty. Had to sand down the mark side a wee bit when I got it, pile side has better stag



Alas, here it was being admired while I was smoking some lamb chops on my lil' Smokey Joe grill for dinner tonight

You can't make this stuff up :lol:

Great minds think alike, i just has 2 lamb chops for breakfast, and i personally do not mind differing sides of scales, it adds a uniqueness to each knife, as long as they are not too different. But i use all my knives, but if i was a collector i probably would have a different view. I love this knife, but both sides of the scales are not identical, one side is a slightly lighter color, which to my eye gives me the best of both jigged bone shades.
