Thanks!Cool pic
Is that Damascus or a blade etch? In either case it's pretty cool and the stag is beautyGood morning Guardians, late start for me, as I had a very late night down at Matt's, watching movies and drinking beer. It's a busy time, and I'm worn out!I better get myself together though, as I have a lunch date, and then meeting more friends later. I hope you have a great Sunday Guardians

Thanks for the picture, Jack!
When I read your post, I only saw the top of the picture with the text and the mother's hair and thought it was going to be an old-timey Cracker Jack advertisement. But then I scrolled and laughed out loud at the elation of the girl over her brass knuckles (and over the self-referential "Always a Surprise!" I experienced).
But Cracker Jack isn't scheduled for me until NEXT week; this week, my lambsfoot is Black Jack, my ebony Guardians lambsfoot from 2018 IIRC. Here are a couple of photos from soon after I unwrapped the knife.

Very festive.
Yes indeed Mitch, it comes sudden, and everyone you know, or ever met, wants to have a pint with you the same week!
Good luck in securing your biscuits mate! 
LOL!
Glad the Chinese-Austrians have your back Jer Ahh, thanks for the info SteveThanks buddy
I'm not sure they are. There are hammer marks but maybe polishing smoothed them a bit.
Damascus, from a short run of 20 SFOs I did in 2019
Sweet pic Steve
Me too buddy, we're experiencing the wettest December on record!
Handsome Ablett Bob LOL!Thanks for the picture, Jack!

Great to see your Hartshead Barlow David
Very festive!
Nice Pile side shot
Were all the biscuits taken Mitch?!Gotta stay regular
I had a nice time with friends yesterday, with the highlight being a large steak and ale pie 
No Henderson's though! 
I got back home, worn-out about 9pm, but then had some work to do, and didn't get finished until well after midnight It rained all day yesterday, and it's raining still. Looks like we'll be having a grey Christmas I'll be heading to town later to buy a few last minute gifts, and pick up a few provisions. I hope nobody has to work today, or if you do, it's a light workload at least Have a good day Guardians 
Glad the Chinese-Austrians have your back Jer
Unusual. You're really making an effort Jer
I just got a card from Geoff Tweedale, with the annual catch-up Bad news mate, but a great shot of OTW
