What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Amir Fleschwund]

My sister had a yellow MG, first car of her own, and she was really proud of it. I don't think she'd had it much more than a month when her husband took it for a spin, and destroyed it!


There were certainly a lot made Jeff, and I've seen contemporary-made ones too. My mate with the tool stall doesn't often get them, but if a pair turn up, I'll grab them for you

Excellent pairing, and some cool pics there

Thanks a million on both accounts, Jack!
Shame about your sister’s B!
My cousin had a friend who shoehorned a Ford 289 HiPo into an MGA. Apparently it went like stink in a straight line, but understeered something fierce due to all that weight up front. Results were predictable.

Don't feel bad. I sat and thought for a minute before posting, in case I might be wrong.

Ok, let me get this straight. Think BEFORE we post?

Thank you for your considerate words.

I have started to feel a real responsibility for looking after this bit of history.

I was very carful to not put it anywhere over water or where it might slide in if I dropped it.

Its kept in a zipped pocket when I am out and handled with great care.

I have shown it of to a few people.

What to do with it I am not sure

I wanted to convey in that post to you just how rare that Barlow is and what fine condition it is in. I think you might have already realized that, as your post suggests.

I carry some of my rare stuff and cut stuff with them, but, nothing questionable and never pry anything with them.

What to with it: If it were mine, I would carry that one pretty often. Use it proudly. Maybe put a microchip inside the liner, in case you lose it.

Haters are going to be haters ! Nice pair of knives though.

Little walk in the Forest PreserveView attachment 1976622, with a side trip through a restored prairie. I harvested seeds of some, because I’ve been sowing them in certain areas on my property. Don’t tell the Rangers!

Ilove these native prairie plants.View attachment 1976620Big Bluestem.View attachment 1976621Little BluestemView attachment 1976626 Indian GrassView attachment 1976630

I dig that TL29 too Jeff !

You could sell them torn up jeans to some of these youngsters. I hear they pay big money for jeans like that. Might get you two or three nice pocket knives.

Amazing! I bet there were, I don't recall her ageing gracefully!

Ha, ha; it was like something out of a John Waters film. LOL

Two of my absolute favourites from your fabulous collection JJ, it is always a treat to see them

Thanks a lot for your kind words, Jack!!!

Have a wonderful Wednesday folks

A wonderful Wednesday double Barlow pair of totes, very lovely images of each beauty too! Btw, your Old School Sheep Shears are amazing, as well!
