Old Friends Friday

[Jack Black]

I don't have many of the Black Box Winchesters, but I like all the ones I have, particularly this Bull-Head, which I think is my only Moose pattern. I used to take it hiking quite a bit, and it's nice to put it in my pocket today

I have a fair number of big Barlows- two Camillus that I found in one year in New York, a CamilloRemington that I got pretty reasonable at the Coloma antique mall in a tin with a regular Barlow,...
I just rediscovered this one, a Japan Sabre with a flat grind, a nice belly, a pinchable nick at the high point like Charlie's 2021, nicely weathered bone, great walk and talk, and fine fit and finish. (I rather like it.)

Wow, that's a great-looking Barlow Jer!

This one shows up in my pictures for the first time 4 years ago. Maybe not quite an old friend yet, but we’ve definitely gone from “Hey, how ya doin’?” to “Hey! How’s your wife’s foot healing up? Did you decide which tires you were gonna get?”

It's been a while since I carried this Nicholas Nichols Pocket Cleaver, which is always fun to use

Boker USA from a long-ago estate sale:

Maybe I'll file the roofing nail head a little flatter.

A gift from Gary Peregrin that I treasure, and always enjoy carrying

Nice! I have one of those from Modoc Ed!


Sorry folks, if you are using Imgur to host your pics, I cannot see them
I think my Ubuntu has a vpn feature, speaking of such things. Some paranoiac I am, not using it yet.

Very generous I have tried using a Proton VPN Jer, but it leads to a lot of issues unfortunately
