Old Friends Friday

[screened porch]

This isn't as old as it feels, but time, like, you know...

"search" has disappeared from my screen corner. I trust it will be back.

I haven't carried this historic homage, by Tod Cutler, in a while, but it seemed appropriate for Jorvik Viking Festival

Many years ago, I was about to give up on A. Wright & Son, after seeing so many of their wretchedly-made knives, when I purchased this SFO. It showed me that while the firm would happily turn out cheap, badly-made knives, they were at least capable of producing better ones. My Old Friend today, and when I first bought it

I sense that this Imperial was all the knife that somebody needed for a very long time.

It was a happy surprise that I have it. I have no idea where or when I got it, but I'm guessing the now defunct Bank Street flea market a long time ago.

I like that my predecessor got paint on it and wasn't worried that he didn't get it all off.

Yes, it always seems to be white paint!

Fourteen years ago I bought my first ever GEC. A single spey 23 in elk sold to me by Christine Tucker at a GEC booth at a local knife show. I've carried and used the heck out of this thing and the worst wear it has shown is some scratches and a small pin crack at the spring pin.... which was likely my fault as I used this several times to hammer some small picture hanger pins into walls when I was in art school.

Nice to have your own white paint for once mate!

Thanks, Jack. It has brass bolsters and shield, and both my high school and college colors were black & gold, so it's a sentimental piece.
