Spot on mateThat is all you have to do with a regular carry user. Carrying and using is the best maintenance.

I should have taken bets!I'm supposed to be meeting up with an old friend, I haven't seen for 2-3 years, but the guy is so unreliable, I'd say there's at least at even chance he'll cancel at the last minute
I had a productive morning in the garden though, ripping the bindweed and chickweed off my brambles, cutting back some ivy, cleaning some garden chairs, fixing the fence next-door's kids have broken (again), and having another go at de-toxifying my stinky Barbour jacket, this time with a dilute solution of white wine vinegar and peroxide. I've just come in for a bite to eat, and then I'm going outdoors again

At least he doesn't just fail to appear. That's sort of reliable.I should have taken bets!
I guess I call them blackberries when I'm eating the berries and brambles when I'm suffering their thorns.
That's pretty mysterious.
Maybe if you could goad a skunk into spraying it.

Good morning Guardians. Hope you all had a good 4th of July. Going out this morning early to golf. Looks like no rain in the forecast so whilst the grass will be wet we won't get rained on. Recycled photo - sorry.

Unfortunately, that's his usual modus operandi Jer
That, or sending me a text, saying he can't make it, 5 minutes before we're due to meet. Knowing that, I made sure I rang him this morning. He said he'd been ill for the past few days, but he only asked me to meet him TWO days ago! 
Same here mate!
This is my last try with it!That's pretty mysterious.

If the smell has gone, I'll then have the expense of re-waxing, either sending it to Barbour, or doing it myself 
Have a great day Bill

After going through my Lambsfoot knives last week I gave this two-blade Standard a spa treatment - Flitzed it, sharpened it, and polished the dark African rosewood. Now I can dirty it up all over again. Oh - the Peso is for a beer in case I'm ever in Mexico with it.
Some people don't like the two-blade Lambsfoot as they claim it's hard to open what with the placement of the nail nicks but the blade stock on these particular knives is thick and allows for a deep cut nail nick on both blades allowing one to easily catch a thumb nail in the Lambfoot blade nail nick to open it. Anyway, I don't find the nail nick placement to be a bother and rather like carrying and using this knife. The added Pen blade makes for a somewhat heavier knife but it is a very doable knife none-the-less.
