Old Friends Friday

Thanks, Jack, you can tell which blade gets the most use! (If only it had a sloping top line. )

Yes, I've got a couple I feel that way about buddy!

I thought this Admiralty Pattern 301 clasp knife was appropriate for today

This one feels like an old friend, even though my old friend Jack Black sent it to me pretty recently. The handle fits me like some genius made it for me.

I was playing with it while watching old friend Andreas Vijstaet (not really, but his New Scandinavian Cooking show is an old friend).
A.V. is no Tina Nordstrom, but he's OK.

I'm glad you're enjoying it Jer I used to have a whole bunch of Brusletto knives, but have given them all away. I really like them too

A few years back, Barrett btb01 came all the way to meet up with me in Sheffield, and we spent a very enjoyable day together He left me a couple of keepsakes, one of which is this colourful #85, which I'm carrying today

Ye olde Camillus.

Cool old knife Jer

I really should carry this #25 Watchpocket Barlow more often

This is a pre-covid estate sale buy from my favorite estate-saler.

Queen. It was very cheap. I fixed some lateral blade-play, but there's no hurry on that little break in the handle.

Prompted by JJ Cahill 's carry earlier in the week, I decided to carry one of my beloved #66 patterns This Serpentine Jack was the first GEC knife I bought, and still one of the knives I like best

Very nice Serpentine, Jack.

I'm carrying an older GEC today, too.

Thanks Rachel, and thanks for joining me, it's nice to see that one again (seems ages ago now)

Thanks, Jack.
The new Bunny Knives will be here soon, and the blade configuration reminded me of my old favorite "George". It'll be interesting to compare the two.

This S&M 4" stockman was the first knife I really "had it bad" for: 1999 #043109 in Sheffield Wormgroove Antique Green Jigged Bone and ATS-34.
I just love the pen clip third blade and the long, deep cut swedge on the clip main.
