Thanks, David. Cool jigged lamb today
Classic. Didn’t care for the new one.
Lawn bowls I hope, for the spirit of the lambThanks Barrett.
Something tells me those Sheffield lads could hold it down!That's one word to describe it,
It was a long day at church- the usual two services and then just time to run home and eat before the funeral. Just about eight hours in all. There was quite a crowd; she was a great lady with a big family.
A fabulous K'roo Bob
Thanks pal!
That's a cool pic BarrettI’ve still got mine.
Indeed!It’s not great. I think I bought that one in 2016 or 2017, but of course who knows how long it had been in stock. I still have it, only because I’d be embarrassed to even give it away to someone else (a feeling to which I know you can relate).
As you may have noticed, when we visited the factory, the stock-keeping, both in terms of materials, and finished knives, was kind of chaotic! I reckon mate!
Beer cost pennies in those days, and wages were relatively high in the steel-works. Maybe they all just chipped in for the beer, that sort of thing happened then. I used to go in a back-street pub, where it was just one long open round. You'd just go to the bar, and see who wanted a pint, and there'd always be spare ones floating about because someone had bought too many. Halcyon days! I'm sorry Barrett. More like C.G.A.D!I completely understand, Jack, but don’t fret about it. I love the knife, including (and especially) the little void in the back covers. Maybe the boys at Wright’s were just embracing the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi.
I was their biggest customer at the time too, why lie about something that was bound to come to light? The shop in Sheffield were their biggest customer for years, but the manager told me that he always had to check through the new stock when it arrived, as there were always a good few he'd need to return While I do think it looks cool, it must have been a bit of a surprise!Here’s a clearer photo, in better lighting, of the pile side of my Rosewood HHB.
Happy to replace it if you ever decide you'd prefer one with more boring covers! 
You mean Che?!Hey, whatever happened with your new Dominican girlfriend?
I think I've been dumped! 
After Sara's mom showed me her photo, and told me that Che would be my new girlfriend, she ended up becoming quite amorous with me herself, and poor Che was not mentioned again She was trying to get me to visit her, and suggested I might want to invite myself on Sara's vacation this month! 
Thankfully, we managed to nip this in the bud, and eventually the good lady departed back home, much to a certain amount of relief from Sara and myself! Apparently, she still asks about me, but I've not heard mention of Che! 
I suspect I've only heard the half of it, as Sara has obviously been quite embarrassed. Her face, when her mother suddenly announced that, as Sara would be visiting in February, it would be best for me to travel with her, was a picture! BeautifulThis is SteveC bonus pic.
Thanks Paul, I ended up having such a heavy day yesterday, and I didn't get half of the things I wanted to do, done, as I was stuck on the computer
I then lost a long multi-quote here, and realised I was just too tired to repeat it 
Sorry for conking out on everyone! Sorry to hear about your day mateAt work bored to death. Slow…Slow…Slow day. Plenty of time for Bladeforums however

Nice to see your Hartshead Barlow though Thanks again my friend
The wind continued to howl all through the night, and the rain was falling hard. Thankfully, while it's still windy, the rain has stopped at last. We've had so much rain this past year, that I'm surprised the country hasn't sunk! I worry that the future may be near perpetual rain, like Bladerunner. but with Yorkshire accents! 
That's even worse than I imagined mate!That's one word to describe it,
'Andsome, as they say in London!
Long shift Jer!It was a long day at church- the usual two services and then just time to run home and eat before the funeral. Just about eight hours in all. There was quite a crowd; she was a great lady with a big family.
Wasn't Blue in The High Chaparral?!
Stunning, my friend
Looking good Mitch
Another great pic mate
I'm sure I've had that same card! I think I'll be having another indoor day today, trying to get some of the things done that I wanted to do yesterday Good time to carry my OTHER Hartshead Barlow
