Old Friends Friday

[screened porch]

This is the knife that convinced me that the instant potatoes in beer soak isn't the best way to impart a patina.

Sure looks like I caused rust on a nickel silver bolster.

That's a new one to me Jer! I do remember Charlie boiling his TC Barlow in vinegar!

This is definitely an old friend for me, my first ever pocket knife! My parents had no idea what they were starting when the bought it for me!

 

[redsparrow]

whenever anyone mentions OCF (Old Cutlery Friends) this highly esteemed Pal from the fifties always comes to mind

built to last, it's more than a lifetime friend

I really should carry this one more often. 1983 SI, used over the years canoeing, hiking, and scraping paint, among other duties.

It's been too long since I last carried my 2017 Guardians Lambsfoot Perfect for Old Friends Friday

That is a stunner, Jack. Dang that beer looks refreshing.

Thanks Paul, I could just drink a pint of draught now!

I actually lost it while helping a friend with a project at their house, and didn't find it until several months later, so I almost didn't have it! I'm taking good care of it now though.

Good to see that knife again been a while!

Meant to carry these two old friends last week but forgot. I sat them out so would forget today. Western Barlow and Stockman.

 

[redsparrow]

Wow!

Wow is right Jack!
If it were possible, the only thing I'd change about Pal's Cattle knife would be the weight. It's a bit heavy in the pocket but in hand that weight inspires confidence even during moderately hard use. It was clearly made to be used. Today even at around 70 years old it is still ready and able for good days work.

Thanks, Jack. It's a little worn, but at least it has a bail instead of that silly key ring nub.

A big improvement!
