Always sad, and there are some great Sheffield knives that lack provenanceThat is true of Big Bex that I've been carrying today, though my guess would be TEW. That old steel sure is good

I hope everyone is having a good dayThe weather has not been great here today, and it was quiet in the market. Tool Man reckoned he couldn't have any cake, because it would set off his toothache, but then polished off 3 custard doughnuts, 2 slices of fruitcake, and his usual feast of pork pies, bacon sandwiches, etc

Wolfie took me for lunch, and we had some great Tunisian sandwiches
Big Bex has been busy, as there was not only cake to be sliced, but 10 minutes ago, a large parcel arrived from Paul
Jakeywax31 , with some extremely generous contents
Thank you very much Paul, I shall PM you shortly, my friend

Happy Birthday Mitch!Morning all.
It's just on 8am Friday 26, today is my actual birthday, today is actually Australia day and public holiday. Usually go out the day before or after with extended family to avoid 10% surcharge. Kristy and the kids will take me to the local for lunch.
Oh yeah I'm the only 1 awake, drinking coffee and looking ar knives.
Thank you all for your birthday wishes
Where did you get a photo of me with hair. Thanks Dwight.
Let them pamper you Mitch. Enjoy.Morning all.

Rain and clouds today. Better than Ice. On my rounds in the work truck I spotted about 20 spools of C wire that a unit hid in the woods. Had to bust out the wire gloves and haul em out. Can’t complain though as it is not freezing out. ‘19 in tote.
