I was working on more broken points yesterday. The knife in the middle is the brother of the trapper I posted last week.

Well done Jer

I've been to the dentist today, so carried a spare tooth

 

[Peregrin]

I guess this one is an old friend since I bought it in 1985!
I remember this was the first time I spent 100.00 on a knife!

 

[black mamba]

Gee willikers, Gary, that really is keen!

Thanks! I've taken to rubbing away on a very coarse stone over a waste basket while watching TV. It gives me more control than a grinder or sander, and keeps fear and recklessness out of the picture.

I think you could get a couple of teeth out of that Rogers.

Yeah, that's a few years back now Very nice Gary

The way things are going, I might need to pick out a couple more!

Charlie's Ancient Barlows are always a treat to carry, Old FRiends that remind me of my old friend

That's a beauty.

I probably carried it for a few days when it was new. You always know it hasn't fallen out of your pocket.

Very nice 66.
Question: Is that a Ariat boot?
Mine have been resoled, but the thread design and ridges on mine are the same.

Here's an old friend that I acquired in a knife swap with a fellow Porch friend that we know as Charlie

Good eye! That is an Ariat boot. Over a decade on them and still going strong. I put new superfeet insoles in every few years.

That's a beauty Jeff, sorry for missing it before. You take great pics

Very handsome Jer George Wostenholm used to call that pattern the Anglo-Saxon



I'm carrying another of their knives as my Old Friend today. I used to carry this small Serpentine Jack regularly, but it's been a while
