I was just thinking I can't remember the last time I heard someone use the word 'prile'!Took the group out for a little oil and wipe down. The Albers will go back in the pocket for the day I think. View attachment 2855653
Cool shot there
That looks like a great place to fishHappy Tuesday morning, Guardians! Rose Burl with my espresso this morning. Spring is in full swing here in Dallas. I got out for some flyfishing yesterday afternoon with friends. We have some lovely local Austin chalk stone streams close in town. Fishing was slow but we did pick up a few dozen green sunfish which is good fun on a lightweight fiberglass rod.

Looks like I spelled it wrong!Today I learned:
In the game of Brag (a variant of Poker), "prial" refers to three cards of the same rank, similar to "three of a kind" in other card games. The term is derived from "pair royal" and is used to describe this specific hand. For example, three sevens would be called "a prial of sevens".
Google knew what you meant so that's close enough for meLooks like I spelled it wrong!![]()

Are you sure that's stainless Paul? I remember picking up a knife very much like that in an antique shop about a dozen years back. I figured it might have been made by Trevor. I gifted it to an old memberAnother glorious day shift!!!! Back to nights tomorrow. Got the Trevor Ablett in the pocket today. I’m about 95% sure he made this knife so I’m going with it.
I should hate this knife. It has brass bolsters, has plastic scales, and is stainless. Weirdly I like it a lot. It reminds me of an A Wright that is built better. Action is silky smooth with nice snap and pull weight. I bought it thinking I was gonna have Glenn do something cool with it but I think I will keep it original just as Mr Ablett made it. I’m told he made 1000s of knives as a regular cutler for various companies and only started to stamp his name on them later in his Cutler career.

Nice Christian
Could you elaborate on the details of that knife. It looks great.
Have you ever fished the Blue River or the Mountain Fork River here in OK?Happy Tuesday morning, Guardians! Rose Burl with my espresso this morning. Spring is in full swing here in Dallas.

Now that you mention it, it might be carbon. I cut a lemon in Eugene with it and let it sit some and didn’t notice anything. I’m looking at it now and I do see carbon spotsAre you sure that's stainless Paul? I remember picking up a knife very much like that in an antique shop about a dozen years back.

Good day Guardians !
Busy day today. I'm project managing the painting project for our Townhouse Association. Painters started today with powerwashing and prep. I spend half my morning running around getting people to shut their windows, even although they've had ample notice that we were starting today.

A good polish makes a big difference PaulNow that you mention it, it might be carbon. I cut a lemon in Eugene with it and let it sit some and didn’t notice anything. I’m looking at it now and I do see carbon spots. I’m thinking the super High gloss and smooth finish might have repelled the lemon fairly well.
I’m pretty sure it is carbon steel now that I’m going over it closely. Thanks for the nudge Jack.Now that you mention it, it might be carbon.
