Old Friends Friday

[screened porch]

Here's a particularly nice Barlow I found while looking for my green Camillus. If I named my pictures, I might be able to find the post that says where and when I found it.

I think it's particularly nice, anyway. It's also my only Ulster Old Timer.
[Later that same day:
It's one of my OT Prince Albert Tobacco Barlows. I remember where I got one of the two OT PAT Barlows, but not the other one, and I don't know which one I gave to my mentor at the church. I figured this out while looking for my Schrade OT PE Barlow. It's still pretty old to me, and still quite nice.]

I admire the curved edge on this clip-point blade.

A slim and elegant big knife.

Mid 1950s Schrade Walden 881 for me today, along with my red Cadet.

My Old Friend today was a AGR Sting. Only the CRKT version unfortunately, must have had it nearly 20 years. I say 'was' because I gave it to my mate Wolfie, who'll probably either lose it, or mess it up somehow

Unfortunately, I only have a couple of pics of the knife, and my main Internet connection is down. Hopefully, I can post a pic later

I haven't carried one of Charlie's stunning #86's for a while

I won't be carrying this at work, but maybe later. I'm not sure I've ever used it at all, but I like having my fellow 1957 classic around.

My first Albers, a gift from Barrett

Ten, or fifteen? years old, from a garage sale.

Quite a splendid garage it was, too.

Hey, nice find Jer

 

[Just Tom.]

I had forgotten how much I like this one. A lot of blade (3-7/8”) in a slim, light package:

Had it over 6 years now.

Tom, I just used the same knife to cut my pizza leftovers. I keep mine in the kitchen drawer.

I carry and use its springless cousin a lot. I find its slicing ability rivals or possibly exceeds that of an Opinel. It will withstand surprisingly hard work, and the pointy tip is excellent for fine work as well.

I have one too (and a Friction Folder), very slicey!

And I just realised I don't actually have a photo of it! Doh!

Yorkshire Day tomorrow, and I'll be carrying this Old Friend - The Yorkshire Rose!

 

[black mamba]

For Yorkshire Day tomorrow I'm carrying my first lamb, RALF, and wearing my flatcap.

Fantastic Jeff, Happy Yorkshire Day RALF has aged beautifully

I was watching Les Stroud harvest wild dainties with his beefy little Helle, and the thing did make me go Hmm.

[I almost forgot OFF, in all the Yorkshire Day madness.]

I quite like the look of his wee Helle, everything but the Scandi grind, and the price Good choice my friend

This is my old friend. This knife has been with me since 1978-1979. I'm not exactly sure when I bought it. Oddly enough, the most used tools are deployed.
