A few of todays major tasks with Billy Barlow.

Making a lanyard for my torch and needed a sharp cut.

Cutting mushrooms to add to a very tasty pasta sauce, this time trying to get the pasta correct.
Last night it was more un cooked than al dente (I'm English we normally boil till mushy).

Hooray it tasted great.



Opening the mail,I am taking "Go Outdoors" as a command.


Have you used your knife today for anything even half as exciting?

 

[Johnnythefox]

Great pair of knives, JJ! From this angle, they both look fairly pristine.
I have a Robeson civilian linesman/electrician, which was a thoughtful gift from Harry, but don’t have a Robeson TL-29. I’m curious if it has steel liners? Of the ones in my cigar box, only Robeson and Case handled theirs in walnut.
Edit~ oops, I think the Colonial I have is walnut, but that’s a weird one, and I’ve never carried it, even once. Ebay seller claimed he had 20 or so “New Old Stock”, “Never used”, Colonials, and they were only about $20, so I bought one. It does indeed look unused, but then why in the heck is the tang stamp buffed off?

Yup, your stag Mohawk is great. Would you say it’s your Numero Uno among your flotilla of canoes? Fleet? Armada? Battle Group?

This is real committment.
A really confident bloke you are. Poking new holes is easy, but lopping off the ends means there’s no going back.
Hey! You did not measure twice before poking that hole!

Excellent summation of a danged good knife.
The proportions are pefect. How about the Bull Buster? Gotta get one of those too, Jim.
Bulls Nose really needs an apostrophe to be correct~ Bull’s Nose. But Bull’s Buster doesn’t work.

I often measure 10 times and get it wrong,I was having trouble reading the mm scale,with diabetes my eyes can go in and out of focus during the day.

Great photo, good to see an old friend with history hanging out with you!

Super cool picture and a very regal looking Longhorn.

Thanks, guys! We don’t generally keep cattle around that long (especially steers), but Sparky is more of a pet.

Bootleg Rendezvous knife 2020

 

[screened porch]

I risked this one at the hospital this morning. I have others of the pattern and another of the color.

(Bloodwork. )
Back to these:

Hauling this Christmas trapper around all the time is starting to smack of spiritual discipline.

Actually the top one is an AEC (almost everyday carry) while the bottom one was yesterday's and today's carry,

Just like to be accurate, especially these days.

At the risk of sounding too cynical, someone might have been intending to re-stamp them with a more rare/valuable name.

It's a double Boker day for me:

 

[Jack Black]

Thank you very much, Jack!!!

Happy to hear you don't have the Covid bug! You can never go wrong with a couple of Barlows, especially if one has a Lambsfoot blade; very cool!

Toting a couple electricians from Robeson, one civilian and the other enlisted.

Thanks a lot buddy, it's great to see those two Robesons together, very cool

Thank so much Jack! Dipping my toes in the Guardians pool Happy to hear the negative result, hope you are feeling better soon!

Look forward to seeing more of you there Dave Thank you my friend

Had these two with me again today

Or maybe it was a second? Or Camillus Xed over or ground off a lot of tang stamps when they were going under. Some of them are unfinished, and a few of them look fine.

All good possibilities. Deception came to mind, just because my latest hobby is scrolling ebay, trying to identify the Frankenknives. It's quite interesting and educational.

Raging Tiger coffee from Iron Bean...so good I grind the beans a cup at a time rather than a bag at a time.
