Here's Black Jack after I'd had him about a year and a half. He's trying out a couple of coasters in the strong sunlight in the upstairs bathroom.

I hope you had a good day 👍
I had a good evening buddy! :D ;) :thumbsup:
Nice to see the Pile side David :) :thumbsup:
I got called into the lounge room earlier.
Kristy said quick you need to to a picture I've found a use for it! She had taken Brian from the side table and proceeded to use it to scratch a scratchy.

I have a cheeky wife.
🫣 🤣 🤣 👍
 
Thanks Jack. We're they just a broker?
They may have had it made to promote their business, or to gift to reps, etc. More likely though is that someone thought it was a good name to use to sell knives. Burgon & Ball is a well-known name, particularly in Australia and New Zealand, where they were famous for their sheep shears (you can see these being made in videos online). For this reason, their name is regularly used on products, such as pocket knives and secateurs, sold in garden centres and hardware stores. The firm, and their old factory, still exist, but are more of a marketing outfit these days. Your knife could have been made by any number of Sheffield cutlery firms, a wild guess would be Howarth's :thumbsup:

Good morning Guardians, it's currently 8 minutes past nine, on Christmas Eve morning here. Sorry I wasn't able to get back in here yesterday, I ended up writing press releases thick and fast, quickly grabbed some bread, and a couple of bottles of wine, and by the time I had shaved and got changed, it was time to go out again. I had been hoping to get a nap, but there wasn't time. The evening was better though, and I had a great Thai meal at a lovely restaurant on the other side of town. It had a BYOB policy, so I took a couple of bottles of decent wine with me ;) I'm still running way behind with Christmas, and I don't fancy doing too much today really :D Hope everyone is well, and more prepared than I am :D :thumbsup:

Inspired by Mitch :) :thumbsup:

Merry Christmas!
 
Thanks again Jack for your imput.
A pleasure my friend :) Looking online, the Lambsfoot knives with the Burgon & Ball mark look to be of better quality than some of the ones I've seen in the past (similar to ones carrying the Wilkinson Sword mark), and clearly made by A. Wright & Son, who took over Howarth's :thumbsup:

Good morning, Guardians, and Happy Christmas Eve to you all! Our tree is lit, with all the presents under its boughs, and fresh cookies coming out of the oven.
And . . . I don't have to work again until next Monday. RALF says, "Hi, and have a great holiday!"

I had a walk down to Charlie's, and had a couple of coffees, and a blueberry muffin 🙂
