Old Friends Friday

[screened porch]

Nice one Jer!

I used to see one, in carbon, looked quite old, in an antiques shop in York. It was overpriced though, and the seller didn't even know what it was. It was there for YEARS! Wouldn't take an offer. I went over post-Covid, and the seller wasn't there anymore

Perhaps that will be a lesson to him!

Reckon you've earned that buddy

Thanks, Jack, our first day in 3½ weeks to just relax for a bit.

The dark honey color of the scotch and the stag match perfectly.

You've had a tough month Jeff, I hope things get easier my friend

I used to carry this old IXL a lot, and find it a great knife. Just a shame it's got the wrong foot! I spotted it in one of my cigar boxes the other day, and thought I'd enjoy carrying it for Old Friends Friday

That has so much richness to it's coat. I bet you could write a book about it's travels. Very nice.

Thank you very much, you're very kind

I don't know, that's almost a borderline foot.

I gave this to Dad for Christmas, maybe very early 70s.

Yeah, wouldn't take much sharpening, but I always think that a Sheepsfoot is always a Sheepsfoot, even when it's a worn Sheepsfoot That's very handsome mate

Thanks.
It looks like Dad carried it more than I thought, even though it has bolsters.
One thing about a shadow pen, it's easier for the blades to get crossed and set that way, though none of Dad's did that.

Yes, I see quite a few like that Jer, particularly where the cover material around the pivot pin(s) has chipped

I always enjoy carrying this wonderful chunk of knifery, gifted to me by the man himself

 

[screened porch]

From the old flea market. Somebody carried and used it. For me it's just too small.
