"And as for the human toll, the Kremlin has built a sophisticated recruitment scheme, where older men who couldn’t find their way in life are paid lavishly to fight." (today's NY Times/ The Morning)
Hmm.
I'm out of pics of old Battered Beak, so here's one of Blackadder.:

Got this hefty lamb in the pocket for my shift. Every IXL lamb or knife I have ever handled or owned have had excellent action and stiff pulls. This knife has the perfect action. I am really tempted to buff up the bone but I’m gotta just leave it. Have a great day Guardians.

Another thing that is interesting is the flush springs and blade tang in the closed position.

Thanks Bob !
It's a nice touch to a quality knife
It's seems to be an I*XL thing as I don't have any other brands with flush square tangs like that.

I like taking a photo of my Lambsfoot when Sue and I go out for breakfast on Sunday mornings.
It’s becoming a real comfortable habit, I use the Lambsfoot at work an awful lot because it’s really the perfect blade shape for cutting / shaping masking tape and plastic when masking cars up in Bake ovens, many times I’m in the booth training both apprentices and tradespersons.
The folks at the shops love it too as they see carrying knives as weird
First shot was last Sunday at breakfast, the second photo was today, love this so much!

Lol, I had to edit this Very quickly as the word “shot” had an i instead of an o
Nice pics, Duncan. We’re going to miss your breakfast commentary in Oregon this year. I guess one of us will have to
Nice lineup, José.
That is an interesting knife. I have a feeling we’ll be seeing it around here. (No, it wasn’t me.)
I wouldn’t.
Here's another of Tool Man's pie, I bet he'll still be moaning next week about having to share it!
Poor guy, he was probably starving the rest of the day.
Repro I'm afraid, but Boring Ray had this old kid's typewriter still in the original box!By coincidence, I was telling someone about these just the other day
That’s interesting (especially coming from Boring Ray!).
Enjoying my day off. Watching the Olympics. Left for 2 min to check on my Beef stew in the crockpot and my son went Tasmanian Devil to the TV room. Carrying my IXL Barlow today.
I was the lucky one that won that bid on the HJ lamb. Look forward to sharing it here and hopefully finding out more information on it.

I always enjoy watching the Olympics, particularly the less mainstream events. Curling is a particular favorite for the Winter Olympics, and the biathlon (or, as Robin Williams called it, “Norwegian drive-by”).
On a somewhat related note, the kids and I watched Cool Runnings this weekend.
Oh man, Charlie, that is an absolute beauty! (No surprise there, of course, considering Rhidian did the work.)
What a lineup!!
Hey, that’s a good looking knife! If a guy were to come across a knife like that at a knife show for a great deal, he should probably hold onto it and not let someone lure it away from him…
Good Sunday morning, Guardians! Happy to have the sunshine back and unseasonably warm temps here. I took Gatorout fishing with a friend yesterday. First spot was a pond south east of Dallas where the Texas Dept of Fish and Wildlife have stocked a big batch of trout for the winter season.
View attachment 3099757
Nothing to compare with @Chui Paul’s lovely rainbow trout of last week but a Texas trout is a rare thing. This pond is all catch and release so maybe I’ll get to catch him again later before the water warms up and they all become food for the other fish and birds.

Next we drove about 30 minutes to his family’s farm near Kaufman, TX to fish in the livestock pond.View attachment 3099770
The locals were happy to see us but disappointed we didn’t bring food for them.
View attachment 3099759
For a truly fine afternoon of fishing, good whisky and a cigar. The first two fish photos are white crappie, a very popular panfish for eating in Texas and throughout the southern USA. Delicious, especially when fried. They are known as “sac-a-lait” in Louisiana and white perch in Mississippi although they are not perch.

There were plenty of young largemouth bass too. Very fun on a fly rod.
View attachment 3099762
This fine fiberglass rod was made by a craftsman from the UK named Sandy Nelson.

Nice pics, Dave. Sounds like a great time!
I just had some work to doI have an early start tomorrow, so will only have time for a quick 'Good Morning'. I'm taking court notes all week, so my Lambsfoot carrying will be restricted to the evenings too unfortunately
I've enjoyed carrying Charlie's Flat-Cap Lamb today though

Nice pic, Jack. Hope your busy week isn’t too hectic!
Flush square tangs are always interesting, but they’re terrible for opening GEC tubes.
Well Guardians, I feel like every time I’ve posted in the thread for the last few months I’m having to apologize for not posting in the thread. I’d say I’ve been busy, but it’s not even that so much as I just haven’t been on the forum much.
Anyways, here’s a picture of my Rosewood Hartshead Barlow, which I have in my pocket today, along with a (somewhat surprising) recent eBay find that just showed up in the mail. Have a great week, Guardians!

I'm not sure I've ever watched the entire film.Barrett!On a somewhat related note, the kids and I watched Cool Runnings this weekend.
Hope the kids enjoyed it Thanks pal, I didn't get home until 8pm, and I still have work to do
It's always good to see you here my friend

Good evening Guardians, I hope everyone's week got off to a good start. I'm absolutely jiggered, but at least I got lunch! I called in for a pizza and a pint in town on my way home, but was shocked when my pint EXPLODED!! 
I was covered in beer and glass, but fortunately unhurt apart from a small nick in my finger. The bar man had a name for the phenomenom, which is apparently caused when warm glasses from the glass-washing machine cool too rapidly when they are filled with cold beer! So, why not do something about it before one of your customers loses an eye??!!! 
I still have some work to do, but hoping for a slightly later start tomorrow. Have a good one Guardians
