That's a mighty fine duo of American Beauties, Jack; the Canal Street Whittler is certainly one swell gem, too! :cool:;):thumbsup::thumbsup:

Many thanks JJ, that's a fine brace of stunning Scouts my friend :) :thumbsup:

Just a part of the plant. The stems of blackberries, raspberries, and black raspberries are called canes. Leaves, berries, and THORNS all grow on the canes. Berries are born on second year canes, this year’s new canes will bear fruit next year. After that the cane dies.
I’ve been pruning dead canes, clearing competing weeds, and mulching heavily with woodchips in my little patch of woods, and I think it’s paying off. Here’s my purple lipped berry pickin partner. Here’s today’s harvest for which I gave bloodView attachment 1861483
Two fine knives for the berry pickin' Jeff ! :thumbsup::thumbsup:☺️
I was not aware of all of the particulars you described, however, as a youngster I went with my aunt Cebah and my mother on berry picking outings. I always came back to the farmhouse with many scratches and seeping blood on my hands and arms. The blackberry cobblers and vanilla ice cream seemed to make up for it though ! Mmmmm ! 🤣
 
Wishing all my American friends a very happy 4th of July :) :thumbsup:

All of the right stuff for the celebration, including the old bottle opener ! :thumbsup::thumbsup:☺️
I found it a little odd that the cake was missing. 🤣

Would you be kind enough to offer some info on that knife? I’m ignorant of it.

It is an old stag pruning knife, with iron bolsters and liners. The maker was T. Turner & Co., Sheffield, England.

According to Goins, the Encore and Cutlers to his Majesty stamp was used from 1830-1837. Deciphering the way the Turner information was listed by Goins is about as clear as mud. ;)☺️

I can say that it is a knife of very high quality and still functions admirably. The blade and bolster patina on this knife are as found.

Thank you my friend, it was a little more trouble than I expected to get it outside and set up. 🤣

I can only judge from what folks post here, but Goins seems to be an absolute mine of misinformation! 😖

Blimey, an early 19th century knife in stainless! :D :thumbsup:

Ka-Bar Bicentennial Knife. Original Invoice is marked 08-04-1976. I bought it new from Ka-Bar. I still have the box and all paperwork that came with it. I'm not carrying this knife. I get it out and CE & CF it and post a pic of it on July the 4th.

Thanks for sharing with me and all. I don’t know much about anything other than modern brands. Schrade case and buck.

Happy Independence Day to everyone.
