It IS scary how gullible some folks can be Rachel, particularly
en masse 
I hope you were able to have some form of contact with your family

Cool pic

That's some nice patina there
Sorry to hear about that Bill, I hope that you'll wake up feeling better buddy

That's a nice clean pic of your Hartshead Barlow, I'm glad you think so highly of it
Good morning Guardians, wishing everyone a happy weekend. No walk for me today I'm afraid, but I have made plans to have a fire and a few drinks with my neighbours, if the rain holds off, and to shell out for pizza for them and their 4 kids
Just a reminder relating to some recent discussion about buying a knife (which I'd hoped would die on its own):
"The Porch was set up for the purpose of non-commercial discussion about traditional knives - to talk about KNIVES, not the BUYING OF KNIVES. As per the sub-forum guidelines, please keep questions about buying and selling out of this thread. If you see a knife you like the look of, and would like to purchase something similar, please contact the owner privately to ask about where they bought it, rather than in this thread. To send a Private Message you will need to be a paying Bladeforums member, but membership can be purchased inexpensively and helps to support the site, as well as making your experience here better."
Enjoy your weekend Guardians, and stay safe out there
