Haha! The Oreos are for energy for the fettler. Only slightly disappointed that there's not quite as much Stuf as in the picture on the package. "The Most Stuf", yet I believe they could fit more Stuf in there if they really tried.Me neitherI thought you were intending to clean those knives with Oreos for a minute!
I really need to do some fettling

Hike or no hike, great trio. I am a little fixated on that carved wooded bowl, though. Verrrrry nice.Stunning pair Steve
Thank you very much JJ, though the IXL is actually of the more mature ovine variety
Nicely matching pair of museum-grade Robesons my friend
Well said Jeff
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend
Love that blade stamp!
See, this is why I donāt let myself even roll the cart down that aisle in the grocery. I suspect I would have ended up with that gross, disgusting, and thoroughly inviting package in my cart.I've got this one in my pocket:
I've never heard of bronze wool before; I'll be looking next trip to the hardware store. Thanks!
Some old knives out on the table, ready for fettling this weekend. (don't worry. I won't get the Flitz confused with the Stuf)

And a Bowie on my belt in the sheath I made for it. 
The only marking on the knife is 1981 neatly stamped on the blade. I found it in a little crossroads gun shop in the Ozarks right after we moved there in ā81. Someone forged and ground it and handled it in curly grained black walnut. The only thing the shop owner said was āhome madeā. I was dirt poor then, but managed the $20 he was asking for it.
Yes, I absolutely remember doing that. They came in a package of six, and I'd methodically construct a cookie with six layers of filling. I generally avoid having such temptations in the house, but this is my yearly free-for-all time. Between having blood drawn a few days ago for cholesterol and A1c tests, and the appointment next week to learn the sesults, I get to eat whatever I want. I was smart and scheduled it around Halloween weekend. Hoping there will be a few Reese's cups left for trick or treaters.See, this is why I donāt let myself even roll the cart down that aisle in the grocery.

Thanks for revealing that the package photo is enhanced. It helps my will power.
Remember pulling them apart in order to combine ones with the āstuffā?
That's a cool knife and a great memento.
Aināt nothing wrong with Baby.
Great way to start the day.
