Thanks for the tipGood spray with antibax and leave outside for a couple of days. Turn it inside out every so often to let the air and sunlight get to all of it.


Good luck with the shorts Bill, it'd take wild horses to drag me into a pair!Good morning Guardians. Going out early this morning to golf - a bit on the cool side for NC this morning though. 48 degrees F. Should warm into the low 60's though. Going to wear shorts. We shall see how that works out for me.
Gone back to my trusty HHB today. This may be a re-cycled photo...not sure.

Lovely shot of your Charlie Lamb John


The stamp (and everything else) is one hundred percent a Jack Black creation.
Thanks a lot guysThe HHB bolster stamp was used in the past on their fixed blade knives, if I remember the story correctly.
Jack had to strongly convince them to use it as the bolster stamp on the Barlow... All Jack's brilliant idea.
I'm sure it was very frustrating for him to see them use it again later after their falling out.



Thanks a lot my friend, it's a shame you weren't here during that relatively brief, but productive, period. I think you'll find reading the thread both enjoyable and informative, but since it is a somewhat Herculean task, there is an index to the earlier part of the thread. If you read through the first post, you will find a link to the index, as well as some other useful informationI figured as much, but, nice to know for sure. Outstanding job Mr. Jack !
When a thread nears three thousand pages, it makes finding answers more difficult. Maybe I need to work on my search skills.
Pleased that you liked my horns and pictures. I enjoy viewing many of the porch photos and knives myself !![]()

Fantastic!Good morning Guardians! I’d like to send a shout out tocigarrodog for his generosity. When I mentioned that I was having trouble with my arthritic hands Jack suggested looking into a Sheldon Knife. Harvey gifted one to me from his collection. Harvey’s kindness is what makes the porch and the Guardians a special place. Hats off to Harvey!
