RALF's pull is about a 7½, and the combination of the smooth ebony and my dry skin made grip and control an iffy thing. I found someone on the forum to stipple both sides, making the grip much more secure. I really wanted checkering, but couldn't find anyone to do it.what's the story on the textured cover ?

Thanks David!Beautiful Lamb Dwight!
Gracias amigo mio.Fantastic pic Dwight
What a jewel.Looks good Rick
Stan liked to add a few more Maltese crosses, he could do them in seconds, but file-work, both on spring-backs, and blades goes way back before Stan. It hasn't stopped a few shysters trying to pass off contemporary A. Wright knives as Stan's since he passed awayI'm not sure when Wright's started using file-work, but possibly when they started doing their badly-named 'Senator' pattern. A former local vendor claims to have both conceived and named the pattern, while Wright's current owner makes the same claim. I know both of them well, and suspect that the vendor wanted a fancier knife to sell, and Stan's knives may have been an indirect influence, but maybe no more than that. A couple of more pics of the file-work on my Stan Shaw Lambsfoot, which covers the entire back-spring from well to tang, and extends down along the top of the blade

Fantastic image Jack.Good morning Guardians, Christmas seems to be bearing down like a 10-ton truck, and I go away a week before that, so no shortage of things to doHeavy rain is forecast all day here, so I think we'll probably end up in one of the local museums, unless Matt has any ideas. I'm sure we'll get some lunch somewhere anyway
I hope everyone has a great weekend, and that it's better weather where you are

Another incredible lamb! Some fine fine specimens today.Morning Guardians! Not sure who made this one. All I make out of the tang stamp is Harding & Sons. Can't find any info on this. Bright, sunny and moderate temperatures today. View attachment 2417966
That's a magnificent Lamb!

It was the lenses that were wrong, rather than the frames, Mitch. The thing is, my prescription hadn't even changed!Jack 5 times? Nah I just end up adjusting them myself. The 1s I'm not used to are ultra light with thin ear pieces that feels odd.
It's been 4 years since I've had new 1s the greenies are creeping inyou used to get a hard plastic clamshell case. Now it's a felt covered cardboard 1 I can crush by hand.
I don't think they get irony, 90% of the glasses they sell are plastic!
For sure mate, been a bad year for weather here. Thanks mateSounds wild woolly weather, stay safe you don't want to miss the holiday.
Yeah it was warm but a few degrees cooler when I cooked a BBQ at SIL for nephews birthday.
It was Kristy, lorna & SIL I felt for they worked in the Cafe, kitchen would have been a lot hotter.
My SIL was going to cook BBQ, as her partner is slack and won't do it. I don't think that's fair.
Be cooler today will only reach 80f.
always making egg sandwiches
They look magnificent. There was an English food writer and well renowned cook many years ago, in one of her books she proclaimed an egg sandwich to be the best meal on earth. Fresh bread, buttered, a lightly fried egg in butter and some salt and pepper. Does not get any easier, and tastes fantastic. Protein, carbs and fat, the perfect meal.snack for a late supper.
That sounds nice PeteSounds like a busy but enjoyable afternoon Jack. We are doing a little Christmas shopping online and took the dogs to the park for a nice long walk.![]()
Thoughtful and elegantGood solution !![]()

Looks like Tool Man's kind of snack DavidOne of the maintenance guys I work with is always making egg sandwiches
I call it the Dennis snack. Since I'm feeling kind of weak this evening I decided to have a Dennis snack for a late supper.View attachment 2418683
That's shocking isn't it, considering how much they charge for specs, and how little they pay for the cases?Some afternoon pictures and comparing specs cases.
The good old style View attachment 2418714
& the new pressed cardboard 1.

I know that feeling David, in spadesSince I woke up and probably won't be able to get back to sleep. I haven't had a cup of coffeein over a week. So I got a cup of super stout coffee with some half & half in it. Probably only drink about half of it and save the other till later.
