Nice Big 'Un David
Maybe, but I'd be surprised Bob. When the Sheffield name has been added to the tang of knives made in the Far East, in the past several decades, it's generally been at the behest of Sheffield cutlers (even American shysters tend to be slightly more circumspect)It came from the big river in south America Jack,
has to be a knock off. It will take an edge and a beating though.
THank you very much JeffJack, the stag on that AC just never gets old; simply as good as it gets!
Good for you Mitch
Yeah for me it's lower salt & reduced fat options. There are a lot of deceptive health foods, like low carb breads, often higher in salt than their own regular breads. I guess the marketers think people only look at the sugars.
From what I've heard of your dentist the tongue depressor is not the only thing that's 19th century.![]()
Thanks a lot my friend, very kind of youJack I will echo Jeff's opinion of your AC. Stag doesn't get any better. That little lamb is a dream.
Wonderful shot of a beautiful knife
I'm afraid she left me Pete!Jack it makes me happy to hear you have left that dentist behind.![]()
LOL!Bobstag today, rain has eased up, outside pics.

Good luck Daniel!Whew I’m away from internet connection for two weeks and I have a lot to catch up on.
Fancy phone!
Yep Jack, you have to check the labels on everything with the marketing BS.Nice Big 'Un David![]()
Maybe, but I'd be surprised Bob. When the Sheffield name has been added to the tang of knives made in the Far East, in the past several decades, it's generally been at the behest of Sheffield cutlers (even American shysters tend to be slightly more circumspect)The older (19th century and early 20th century) forgeries are usually marked Rodgers, and are generally rather garish, and not standard patterns. TEW have paddled in some very dodgy waters, but their foreign-made knives are generally easy to spot, because of the better fit and finish!
Sheffield has been exporting cheap, low-quality knives, for a long time now, and my guess would be that was one of them
THank you very much Jeff![]()
Good for you MitchYou're right, I remember when my eldest was a baby, looking at the sugar and salt content of rusks. The sugar content of the lowest 'Low Sugar' rusks here was 13%!
I think the salt content was 5%. In both cases, this was greater than standard English biscuits, like Digestives
We decided to make our own rusks

I'm afraid she left me Pete!Says a lot about the firm who bought the practice, my dentist left, her dental nurse left, and the practice manager left!
I'm sure some of the other dentists will have left too
It doesn't bode well for the future, a lot of folks here can't even find a dental practice!
LOL!Great pics Mitch

I haven't seen any flavoured sunflower seeds on sale here yet. Good idea, they're a healthy snack, but they benefit from a bit more flavour I think
I think I could probably find them somewhere else a lot cheaper, and they're far from my ideal storage solution, but they've saved me at least 2 shelves worth of space Barrett
He's on there, buying, all the time, but not only does he not right-click, he doesn't do email!
