Today I came back to one of my old faithful even though It's not that old.
Great knives those Boker Barlow, here with all the wooden family two of them are ready to depart as gifts.

Regards

You have very great skills, Mateo. :) Wow.... just wow....

Once I tried a simple spoon whittling with a pocketknife. I saw all the nice things that were there out got made by you guys and wanted to do the same. No big deal for me. It was a work without the view of success - so whittling became no favorite of mine. LOL!

My highest respect to you guys that make great things out of a simple block of wood.
 
Some punk wouldn't get off my picture taking post,:D

I didn't realize Case made a green version. That's beautiful! Uh, maybe don't tell Zippofan. ;)

You're on a roll. Great coloration (including the blades), fine knife. :-)

A friend brought an interesting serving tool (sort of a cross between a spoon and a spatula) to a recent shared meal. It immediately caught my attention because of its angles, and the juxtaposition of dark wood and brushed metal. Due to a certain Christmas present, it looked (surprisingly) familiar.

I borrowed it today to take pictures, so I could Share my observations. Heh. Behold:

Definitely of an ilk, possibly of an era:

I didn't know quite what to make of the Silver Knight and its angles when I first received it-- it's so different from what I'm used to. The more I use it, the more I really (really) like it. Sweet little thing.

Another two Schrade day. Along with the 708Y as noted previously, I also have the 834 stockman with me.

For today, which is a day off, I went with my Tribal Spear. Haven't carried this one in a while and I forget how nice it really is. Used it to slice up salami and cheese for lunch.

Thanks but I wish I had half the talent of some of you guys on here. I get lucky from time to time lol

Going to see my grandaughter tomorrow.



So I'll be carrying the Wostenholm MOP penknife I bought the day she was born :)

I also had my Bladeforums 2011 knife, given to me by Duncan, and photographed here on the banks of Sheffield's River Porter close to the site of the historic Nether Spurgear Wheel.



My grandaughter spent almost the whole of my visit asleep, and when she woke up she looked like she wanted to fight me! :D

Cheers mate, I'm a bit shattered as I only just got in at 9.45pm, but I have some more stuff to post, and some stuff about Wilson's snuff mill for you Andi :)
 
I've been carrying this the last couple days:

(MOP is not the easiest thing I've ever tried to photograph!)

I was initially not too keen on the etches, but after a little research I found out the Shaver corporation has been running tugboats on the Columbia for 123 years, at this point, and is still family owned. Since my interest in the Silver Knight was at least in part due to wanting to have a nice traditional knife in the collection to represent Oregon, this association makes it just about perfect. (Of course the fact that it's an elegant thing and pretty much flawlessly made doesn't hurt!)
