For those who came in late...
I was recently gifted a beautiful old kitchen knife by our mate Jack Black.
Here it is in action slicing up a butterfly of lamb.yummy.
This generous gift is the result of a challenge I issued to Jack to find me a good old Sheffield knife-a quest if you will. Here's the link to the original challenge-if it doesn't work just search up the "quest knife" and you'll get there eventually.Jack did .After many, many miles and man hours around the Shire of Yorkshire.

It was a journey of intrepid determination through wind and weather,fending off unruly savages and leaving no stone unturned in its search for the quest knife.
We all enjoyed the weekly journals of this voyage of discovery and I know that we are all better off for having been part of it.
Sadly however rules are rules and justice must be dealt without prejudice. Jacks flagrant disregard for the rule regarding payment is of great concern to me.Not accepting payment from me however noble it may seem is in contravention of the quest regulations and Retribution must be swift and incisive.
Therefore I have dispatched via Australia Post the old "#30 SHEFFIELD ENGLAND" it has no name- penknife with its unconvincing faux horn scales to wreak vengeance upon Jack Black.
It should be arriving any minute now over the next couple of days.
This tribunal is dismissed.
On a lighter note I will soon be taking delivery of a old knife that Glennbad has repaired and modified. I haven't seen it yet but I know its going to great.Briefly its an old STAG IRELAND large barlow that came to me in rubbish condition. I removed the remnants of the plastic scales and there it sat for a couple of years while I wondered what to do. At some point I discovered among my junk an old stub of a knife steel with a bone handle that belonged to my granddad. Having neither the skill nor technology available to me I contacted Glenn to see about fixing it up. He bade me send it to him. And I never heard from him again until a couple of days ago telling me its on the way and could I let him know if it arrives safely. Of course I can Glenn but be warned -Do Not invoke my wrath with any unforeseen out of pocket expenses.Remember my friend revenge is a dish best served cold and you will get yours in some form-I'll find a way:thumbup:
