That's good news buddy, you've been working flat-out for a while now :thumbsup: I'll join you in that sentiment, cool pic :thumbsup:

Thank you David :) :thumbsup:

Nice choice for Stag Saturday ;) :) :thumbsup:

LOL! :D Stealth cooking eh Paul? ;) Hope you enjoyed your pot roast brother, great pic of your Hartshead Barlow :) :thumbsup:

Stunning photo Dwight, hope you're doing OK my friend :) :thumbsup:

True! 🤣 :thumbsup:

Thanks Barrett, I really enjoyed carrying it again :) I was hoping I could post a good photo of the swedge, but, strangely, I'm struggling to find one! :rolleyes: Great for opening up shy pistachios! :D :thumbsup:

Sorry to hear Kristy had to go in on a Saturday Mitch :( Hope you can spend a nice evening together :) :thumbsup:

Good morning Guardians, it's bright and sunny here, but cold no doubt. It's Remembrance Day weekend, and today is called Armistice Day here, when, on the 11th hour of the 11th day, in November, the WW1 guns fell silent. The generals liked the symmetry, but after the ceasefire was agreed, a lot of men continued to needlessly lose their lives, including a miner from Leeds :(

The Sheffield Regiment was decimated on the first day of the Battle of the Somme. Three of my great grandfathers, (two of whom were Irish), did not return from WW1, and the fourth, who had re-enlisted, was wounded. If the war had been a couple of years earlier, I might not be here. Here's a photo of my surviving grandfather, I hadn't known he was wounded until I was researching one of my grandfathers who didn't make it, and came across a press report, quite by chance.

Both my grandfathers made it through WW2, but of course many good, young men, from all over the world, didn't
:(

Carrying my Needham Lamb today, it has an unusual feature :thumbsup:

I'm going to be working all weekend, but I'll go into town for the two minute's silence we have here. Have a great weekend Guardians :thumbsup:

Jack, very nice remembrance of your Grandfathers. My father survived WWll. Landed in the second wave on Omaha Beach in Normandy and was badly injured in the Battle of the Bulge. Convalesced in England and wthen wen back into action. He along with one of his friends captured 200 Germans singlehanded. He rarely talked about his exploits except for the many kindnesses offered him by the locals in England. They were Gentry in Devonshire. I think of my departed dad often and especially on this day.

Good morning Guardians and happy Veterans Day to all those who served. Thankyou for your service. Sort of a gloomy/rainy /cold day here. Sharpened up the HHB again.

I have a these pics comparing the swedge with a couple other Wrights knives, but I couldn’t remember if this was the 2017 or not. It has to be, though, as we moved to MN in early 2018, and these pics are from our house in AZ.

Very cool old Lambsfoot, Jack. ⚓

I searched the emojis to see if there was one giving a salute, but this 🖖 was the only result for “salute.” 🤣

Had a very nice meet up and lunch with Barrett yesterday, and thanks to him, I was finally able to get an Albers Lamb Foot knife.
Certainly a well made knife that deserves the praise from those who own one.
Jack, touching stories about George Ellison and your Grandfathers. And quite an interesting stamp on that Needham.

Glad I was able to help you get ahold of one, Neal. :thumbsup:

Of course, I had to take a picture while I had these two Snakewood Albers Lambs together.

Very poignant Jack. Was Friday yesterday for me, and had to bury a dear friend of 50 years.

I'm sorry for your loss Leon. I too buried a dear friend yesterday. The toughest guy I've ever known.

Thank you Bill, what a generation :) Your dad sounds incredible, I'm glad he made it :) I think that was a photo of Omaha Beach I posted earlier. Your dad may have convalesced not far from Sheffield, on the Chatsworth Estate, near Baslow, in Derbyshire, which is the home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire :thumbsup:

Good work Bill :) I'm hoping to get time to give The Chieftain a tickle tomorrow. Hope he doesn't mind! :D :thumbsup:

Rainy day here in South Carolina. We really need the rain, and I need an excuse to be inside on a Saturday watching football instead of getting done the myriad of chores there are to do outside. This great gift from Bob will keep me company.

A very cool photo Steve :) :thumbsup:
 
My condolences to Fodderwing Fodderwing and cudgee cudgee for the loss of dear friends recently. If they were friends of you fine gentlemen, they must of left a lasting impression on those they were around.

Thank you to the Veterans who have served or are still serving their country both here and abroad.

A relaxing day. Going to take my Dad to the movies to see "Killers of the Flower Moon." He is a 35 year Army veteran and I try to do something for him every year. Will have my Titusville lambsfoot in the pocket.
