I'll bet the tang stamp originally was JJ Martinez, but the Z wore off.
I have 3 JJ Martinez knives that I like very much!

Great photos and a Great to Find old Lambfoot Barlow my friend . It has been a Treat to even see it . Carry in good health on your little excursions Johnny .In between diabolical rain we had patches of sun,the Bats made me laugh.
Its all over England lately, people knitting funny things around lamposts or on top of post boxes etc.,its very quaint English.
I tried to feed the swans who followed me along the river with my donuts the gulls dived in regardless of size and stole some bits.
A lot of history around this way.
If you like cars a bit of info.
Under the roof where the Union flag is flying (its only a Union Jack if on a ship) you will find the last off the production line plastic bumper MGB in a rather fetching beige/brown trim.
Sadly Californian emission controls led to the demise of the company.
Its a little town museum they had to take the windows out and use a crane to get it in.
During the war MGB switched to aircraft production

At my age , I find myself having a lot of Memory Flashbacks at Floppy Disc speeds . Some of the best memories are the Too Few Times that I have been able to sit around with People of Like Minds discussing fine knives . Some people have Old and New knives that just makes me feel very good .I’m visualizing a day when a few of us porch dwellers can get around a fire with some good beverages, joined by the author of this calendar to make us laugh, knowing that none of us really graduated past our middle school humor sensibilities. I would enjoy that group. Oh yeah, and there would be fine knives of course.

Mostly flying my desk today. We had Coco at the Vet yesterday and she is coming along nicely - shine back in her coat and bright shiny eyes and much more perky. Snowed again last night so I'll go out and shovel some snow later. This Lambfoot will do. Sausage and waffles for breakfast.

Same! And if you had to downsize to just one…who needs a wharncliffe?
Sounds like some great times Harry! I’d be all in for that. I would surely love to make it to the Rendezvous some day.At my age , I find myself having a lot of Memory Flashbacks at Floppy Disc speeds .

Treasure it!What to do with it I am not sure
Fascinating!Its old so I took it somwhere even older today.
Amongst other things
Ancient Roman artifacts
Oliver Cromwells watch
Lawrence of Arabia robes and dagger
Some paintings I like
A reference to Johnny Cash (who will get that one?)
I thought this might be of interest
Some really interesting historic cutlery
The one above reminded of me of this (from when we could still purchase knives from ebay)!

You're welcome Jeff, I may even have a pair squirrelled away somewhereThanks 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.
Outstanding pair
Ha, ha; it was like something out of a John Waters film. LOL
Many thanks my friend, I am rather embarrassed by the sheep shears pic!Thanks a lot for your kind words, Jack!!!
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!
It's great to see those old favourites JJToting these two wearing wood today.
Superb photos Mr P, not to mention the subject matter!Keen Kutter Barlow that was illustrated in the 1899 and 1917 catalogs .................... and the same Schrade Cut. Co. Barlow I carried yesterday, in a new picture, with the last of my Yoshino Cherry tree leaves. I did some leaf blowing and cleanup Monday, but, still a few leaves left on my trees. Off to the market for re-stocking this morning. Have a fine Thursday !
