Ebony mate.

May all go well Jack.

Thanks Bob, hopefully nothing to worry about

Definitely. I was wondering the other day if you had run into John Maleham since he sold the company. I imagine you might have to resist the urge to him a good earful.

I took him for lunch, shortly after his retirement Barrett, as I sometimes did. I had done the same a couple of weeks earlier, when he announced his retirement, and asked me to be a legal witness to the transfer of ownership. The announcement came as a complete surprise, but he assured me everything would remain the same, and while I wasn't happy, particularly as it came when they were making my Hartshead Barlows, I got on well with the new owner, Michael. Unfortunately, things started to change very quickly, and the last time I spoke to John, he told me that he was aware that an agreement we had made had been broken, and had told Michael he couldn't be doing that. After I reluctantly ended my relationship with the firm, I had no reason, or wish, to visit the factory, and had no independent phone number for John. His wife enjoyed cruises, and they had started to do more and more, so I think it unlikely I'll bump into him. The last time I heard, he was still trying to sell the factory, which though in a poor state of repair, must be valuable because of its location.

Great looking stag on your HHB, Jack.

Thanks mate, I was about to say that I was glad Wright's got them right, before things went south, but that's forgetting the third of the run that had to go back

Looks great, Pete! I kind of like the “SOIL THE JOINTS” stamp.

Me too!

Glad you got one, Jack! “Sheep husbandry tool.”

Thanks Barrett, Charlie's inventiveness gave me a good chuckle

Beautiful knife, Charlie! I’d never heard of Afzelia Burl before Eric used it on some of his Lambs, but it sure makes a good looking knife handle, doesn’t it?

Stunning! You've captured it nicely there my friend

Nice pic buddy !


I must have missed something, you're having surgery ?

Thanks Steve Yes, I was referred to the hospital by my dentist, rather than my doctor, in relation to a patch of skin I have had about 15 years. They weren't too concerned about it, but are going to remove it for testing anyway. It's on top of my head, near the edge of my hairline. I don't have a photo where it can be seen unfortunately, but then I take very few selfies, and usually have my flat-cap on! Hope they don't mess up my haircut!

Bonus pic of the day

Another great pic my friend

Sorry Jack , I'll edit out the second knife next time.

Thanks a lot JJ

 

[Jack Black]

It looks like a great addition to my bag of tricks , and I have my first slingshot ordered!

Fantastic Pat, I hope you take to it Lots of great videos online, to show you the aiming principles

Got the green Wright today. Hope everyone had a good one.

Nice Paul

Thanks you pal. I don't know Jack cause I don't have a Charlie Lamb from the first run. Ive never been able to score one yet. That one has eluded me so far. Hopefully someday. I'm impressed with this one it's very nice all around.

Couple good ones

Hope all goes well for you buddy

Thanks David That's a hard score, but I know your tenacity!

Love that pic!

Blade and especially bolster looking particularly fetching here, can’t say exactly why but I’m getting heavy WW2 toolkit “vibes”. I really like it!

Thanks a lot Thomas

It helped slightly, the half stop seems to be different from the US made slip joints I am used to. Not a very defined stop but seems to have a degree of play in the position (up and down) if that makes sense. Nonetheless I just continue to use it as it was intended

https://flic.kr/p/2qKbo2w

I'm a bit confused. The blades of Michael May's knives are made by A. Wright & Son, who make cam tang blades. I've never owned one of May's knives though. Perhaps someone else can chime in?

You seem smitten with that IXL Jack

Newest addition, just arrived today.

Hope you got a good one

I'll see you and double you. .

I just had to check it wasn't St Patrick's Day!

Wouldn’t be right if the Don Corleone of lambsfoot knives didn’t have one. Congrats on that one my friend.

LOL! Thanks mate

If I’m in the UK during the zombie apocalypse I’m going to your house. Sweet picture,

Definitely Paul, we'll make a great team!

We all knew this. .

LOL!

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone is well It's taken me a while to catch up today. While I've been doing so, the frost on the lawn has melted, and the sun is out, so I'm going to head out to Charlie's I reckon Have a great day Guardians

 

[Rufus1949]

Lots of sleet today! Just when I am going to ophthalmologist, to make sure I don't have Marty Feldman eyes.

Good morning Guardians. Gloomy out today but warming. May get some rain. Going over to a friends house to make some breakfast sausage. I usually make around 12 pounds. Got some seasoning (Leggs #10). Going to be spicy - the way I like it. I also add in around two pounds of bacon to my pork. Mmmmm - good! My HHB in my pocket to help out today.

I remember the assurances. It’s a shame things turned out the way they did, but there’s nothing to be done about it now, I suppose.

Well at least they got the stag and Rosewood right. To quote Meat Loaf, “two out of three ain’t bad.”

Stunning! You've captured it nicely there my friend

Thanks, Jack. That’s an older pic, but I thought it showed off the character of the wood well.
