Thanks Jeff, yes it is black palm.

Mr.B should hold his head high; sweetness with an edge.👌

Yeah. The Revere Ware is great, but you have to wait for it to boil and then time the percolation.
This turns itself off, then keeps warm for two hours, and then turns the warming off. No harm in my wandering off and forgetting it. And it still has the viewing bubble that a lot of electrics don't. Faster than a pour-over, neater than a French press, no damp reservoirs breeding tiny monsters (automatic drip).

I have an old range top version as a treat.

That's the first time I've seen a Rosewood Hartshead Barlow, I must try and track one down, it's very beautiful.
In the meantime I have this in my phóca today

Pretty sure I've posted it here before, it's one of my faves. It has a feel of having been built for the ages from things that were already old.

LOVE LOVE LOVE everything about this Knife! I love those old sweeping Nail Nicks that almost become long pulls- there's an era when they were used and I think it's great! the Stag is outstanding and it has a Stove Pipe Kick - such a great old Knife that oozes Sheffield old Day!

Thanks my friend 😊 I've strode about 3 miles so far, but only got as far as the market, so far! 😁👍

I hope I don't upset anyone - or that anyone doesn't misinterpret what I am trying to say here.....

I am extremely lucky enough to own a Stag Hartshead Barlow- and Jack I think that Knife is so amazing- even down to the Tweed pocket slip it came in with it's very own history.
I look at the Wooden Hartshead Barlows and think " My goodness that is one hell of a Handsome knife" I really do, and what I am thinking is that the Hartshead Wood version is not getting the full attention or admirability that it deserves because the Stag versions are so so fantastic.

I try to imagine that if? the Stags did not exist - the Wooden Hartshead's Crown would shine so much brighter, because they are indeed such a beautiful Knife.

Does anyone else think weirdly like I do - or do you get what I am trying to say?

You are just weird😉
Makes sense but there is always those that prefer wood, so both are going to popular either version looks pretty good.

Call me weird, love the wood covers.
 
Got called into work for the night shift this evening 😔. 6pm to 6am. At every job I have ever had there is always a don't give an F guy. Well today he got me. Last minute call in on a Saturday. Was getting ready for a night out with the wife and poof...my plans disappeared into thin air. The General (my wife) was not pleased. Anyway going to make the best of it and use the OT pay to take her out later. Got Calamity in the pocket tonight. Hope everyone is enjoying their evening and weekend.

Looks to me like you made the right choice. 😁

Yes, that one pin handle is odd and not what I have seen on other wood handled Richartz folders. (picture enclosed)

A couple of wood handled Lamb Foot models shown for comparison.

Hope your insomnia has gone away.

I like that whale stamp on the top knife there. I assume that’s a Richartz stamp?

Couple nice looking Lambs, Neal. Old and new. :thumbsup:

I don’t disagree with you, Duncan. The Rosewood HHBs don’t get the same amount of love as the stag ones, and they really should; they’re just as excellent. Since I received my stag HHB, which was just last year (in a GAW Jack did), I’ve certainly been guilty of pocketing it and showing it off here more than my wood one, which I’ve had since they came out.

If I remember correctly, there were quite a few more of the stag HHB produced than the wood, so maybe it partly comes down to the fact that more Guardians have the stag.

Anyways, thanks for the reminder that I should give the Rosewood some more love. :thumbsup:

That’s a rough shift, Paul, but hopefully the overtime is worth it and the boss isn’t too mad. 😉😁
