I remember all the road maps that I had to carry.Good Morning Guardians, thought I'd drop this one in my pocket todayHave a good day Guardians
I had a collection in the glove box of my car. Here in the U.S. they were very different from the one you have pictured and were always though to fold back up.
They were, at one time, handed out free at gas stations.
Nice photo of your lamb foot knife too
Thank you very much mate, that means a lot to me coming from you. I have snagged a good one with this particular knife. If i was picky i am sure i could find fault with it, but i am really pleased with it.I guess you just have to grin and bear it Ron!
That's a good-looking Snakewood model
Must be the moon or something, i have some booked in for a service tomorrow.Just re-filling my Zippo, and doing some routine Lambsfoot maintenance
Nice one Jack!Good Morning Guardians, thought I'd drop this one in my pocket today
Nice bunch of lambs there Jack! The maintenance is a task that I really enjoy! I actually find it relaxing. It is something I can do while watching TV or even listening music. I like that needle oiler you have there. If you don’t mind PM me the info on where I might purchase one.Just re-filling my Zippo, and doing some routine Lambsfoot maintenance
I really hope y’all are safe and well this morning. I’m especially thinking about Vince
Prester John
and Rachel

and how the hurricane may affect them and their families! Like Jack, I’m carrying my Big Eb today! I hope everyone will stay safe out there! 
I remember all the road maps that I had to carry.
I have mainly used Ordnance Survey maps, and they have been treasured companions throughout most of my life. When I was young, they were 1" to the mile, but now I mainly use the later 2 1/2" to the mile ones. They are not bad to fold, except when it's windy! 
Thank you my friend I'm glad you managed to get a good one. We all know it can be a lottery with an unreliable firm and equally unreliable vendors, but I think some folks aren't happy unless they've got something to whine about 
I could do with checking over my entire collection really, but it's a big job These supermarket 'Steak Bakes' made my lunch into a tasty square meal 
Nice one Jack!

Someone here put me onto those Boker needle oilers a few years back, they use an extremely fine mineral oil, and if you just want a few drops for a pocket knife joint, they last a long time, and can be re-filled. Boker also do them in a more compact size, which I keep in my ditty-bag I believe they are very widely available, so hopefully you can source one in the US 
Good morning Guardians!
Great to see Big Eb again my friend
Nice pic Chuck 
Extremely fine mineral oil, eh? I might have to try that. I've been using 3-in-One oil on my joints because I think the mineral oil gums up and I have to clear it out with machine oil anyway.Thank you Ron
I have a Nano-oil needle oiler too, but the oil isn't food-safe
I join you in your concerns about Vince and Rachel, Ron. We have had some wind damage and flooding caused by a storm here, but the weather here is never as brutal as it can be in parts of the USA

Thanks for thinking of us, and I hope Vince is doing alright.Good morning Guardians!
Thanks for thinking of us, and I hope Vince is doing alright.
Here in Austin, we're only expecting some rain (and evacuees from the Houston area)
Normal Central Texas weather: Drought, interrupted by occasional flash floods.
And waters the scary plants!
Thanks, Jack. I'm ready for a cool down, but I expect the humidity will make up for it.Glad to hear things aren't too bad in Austin Rachel, I guess it breaks up the heat a bit
Thanks, Jack. I'm ready for a cool down, but I expect the humidity will make up for it.
The scary plants will love the jungle atmosphere.
Thanks for the compliment on Big Eb Jack! They are beautiful knives!Thank you Ron

I always use ultra fine mineral oil on my knives. I like it because it is food safe. I’ll definitely be checking out one of those Boker Oil Pens and thank you for the info my friend! That’s good to hear Rachel! Maybe Vince will be okay too!Thanks for thinking of us, and I hope Vince is doing alright.

Thanks, guys. Living on the Texas coast, I have been through some hurricanes, and they're no fun! Fortunatley, Rachel is further inland, but Austin can still get some pretty severe weather. It looks like Laura will make landfall further north, near the Texas and Louisiana border. I am sure my wife is keeping a close eye on it.That’s good to hear Rachel! Maybe Vince will be okay too!
