Sorry to hear it Dwight... Hope it gets resolved.My dear Guardians I'm afraid I have some bad news
Hhahah that is reasonable though. I agree about the natural resins and oils as well as normal conditions knives are exposed to. The only time I imagine mine getting wet is taking a spill in the canoe or using it while stream fishing with a wet hand. Maybe getting rained onA lot of that is based on sheer laziness I'm afraidA lot of the woods used for handle materials have natural oils and resins, and I doubt the average folder gets exposed to the elements as much as the average axe handle, or even the average FB handle
Dwight that is a shame. Most men understand that all they really have in this world is their Word. People such as this never learned this most basic and crucial self understanding. It’s a pity. Hopefully you are able to get some parity from the other party.My dear Guardians I'm afraid I have some bad news. I am a victim and so is at least one other member at this time.
LOL!Here's something like what the conversation went:
JB: "Have you checked your Spam folder?"
TM: " What's that?"
JB: "Spam is all the rubbish you get sent. Some of it is filtered out automatically, and goes into a special folder."
TM: "Yeah, but I don't believe in it."
JB: "Well, it exists whether you believe in it or not."
TM: "Yeah, but I don't have anything to do with it."
JB: "You'll still receive emails you don't want."
TM: "I delete them. I delete all my emails. I just keep a page of them."
JB: "Why do you delete them all?"
TM: "So I don't have to go searching for things. I've just got a few you sent me, like when you send me photos from the market."
JB: "Why don't you just download them?"
TM: "Oh, I can't be doing with that."
JB: "It's really easy."
TM: "I can't be bothered with it."
JB: "I'll come up [to your house], and show you how to do it sometime, it's really straightforward."
TM: "I just keep it open all time."
JB: "Your computer?"
TM: "Yeah, and my email."
JB: "It's open all the time?"
TM: "Yeah, I can't be doing with passwords, I only have one password, for everything [tells me password]."
JB: "Well, what you'll have open is your Inbox, but there'll be various other folders.."
TM: "No, I don't have 'em!"
JB: "There'll be there, whether you notice them or not. There'll be an Outbox folder, a Spam folder, and maybe one or two more."
TM: "Yeah, but I don't believe in them."
JB: "Imagine if I came to you with car trouble, and you said, 'Have you checked the spark plugs?' And I said, 'I don't believe in them." So you said, 'Have you checked the points?' And I said, "I don't believe in them either!" You'd think I was an idiot.
TM: "Yeah."
JB: "Well, it's like that with the Spam folder, it exists whether you like it or not."
TM: "Yeah, but you've got time to do these things."
And on, and on!![]()
Thank you Bob. The original intention was to make a powder horn out of it.Great pic of knife and horn.
The horn reminds me of my father's black power horns.
That is absolutely hilarious Jack!LOL!Here's something like what the conversation went
Thank you sir.Striking photo buddy
Thank you Todd.Fantastic photo Dwight.
Thanks JD.Sorry to hear it Dwight... Hope it gets resolved
It is a very sad thing to witness Pete. I am dumbfounded that a man would burn down his life for a few hundred bucks. But there are a host of the finest folks here on the porch. That, in fact, was what allowed this miscreant to ply his trade. But hey... I was comforted with the realization that one can be a liar and devoid of character - and still yet have good taste in cutlery.Dwight that is a shame. Most men understand that all they really have in this world is their Word. People such as this never learned this most basic and crucial self understanding. It’s a pity.

Great ingredients for some relaxation. Hopefully you enjoy a fine weekend yourself.Sorry to hear of your misfortune, Dwight, I hope for a quick resolution in your favor. The name sounds vaguely familiar, I will have to do some digging and see why.
Happy Friday, Guardians. I hope you all have a most excellent weekend (except the scammer, no best wishes for you!). I put an old friend in the pocket today.

Sorry to hear about this Dwight. Hope all works out for you.My dear Guardians I'm afraid I have some bad news. We have a scammer amongst us. I am only going to give you his user name here. The rest will be revealed in a GBU thread which I will start in a day or two. I am giving you his name because he may well be trying to play one of you even as we speak. I am a victim and so is at least one other member at this time. He seems to have a great penchant for lambsfoot knives. --- Nankbrown21--- Beware of this porch member.
Fantastic setup Dylan. Hope you enjoyed yourself.Sorry to hear of your misfortune, Dwight, I hope for a quick resolution in your favor. The name sounds vaguely familiar, I will have to do some digging and see why.

Yes, blade-play doesn't seem to be a thing with Sheffield knivesI’m actually amazed at how smooth they become with no blade play whatsoever.

LOL!Still laughing!
Welcome to the world of a middle school teacher Jack.![]()
I've dunked mine in soup/coffee/beer a few times while taking photos for this thread!Hhahah that is reasonable though. I agree about the natural resins and oils as well as normal conditions knives are exposed to. The only time I imagine mine getting wet is taking a spill in the canoe or using it while stream fishing with a wet hand. Maybe getting rained on![]()
He has me pulling my hair out Steve!That had me chuckling![]()
Your Blood Lamb seems to have taken up permanent pocket residency Pete!
Makings of a good weekend there Dylan, have a good one buddyHappy Friday, Guardians. I hope you all have a most excellent weekend (except the scammer, no best wishes for you!). I put an old friend in the pocket today.

Handsome Lamb!
Thank you Harvey
A good beginning Jack. Here, some people believe a horseshoe, over a doorway, facing up, will catch good luck. Alternately, facing down, luck will pour out on a home. Stay well.Very sorry to hear this Dwight

Good morning Guardians, a gloomy day here today. I need to nip into town today to pick up some shopping. A friend and neighbour is leaving Leeds, and having a bit of a leaving do this afternoon, so I thought I'd take some food. Starting the day with my Charlie Lamb again, but I might switch out for some stag later. Shown with a leaving gift for my friend. Have a great weekend Guardians
