Great post, Gary!“… Good song! A few years back, I had too much time on my hands and made a post here in which I commented on a bunch of knives using lyrics from Stones' songs.”

Thank you, I'm happy to have made a trade for itI like everything about your knife!!![]()
Thanks Travis, I was lucky to come by this one and am happy to add to my collectionPaul, that may be the finest pocket knife I’ve ever seen. I think I would trade all my knives for that one. They haven’t done Natural Stag since around the time they stopped doing shields.

It’s a parcel hook.
It's for carrying parcels tied with string by the string that ties them.
It’s for doing one armed pull ups.
It’s a one handed hay bale lifter.
A bow tie untyer.
A mustache curler.
And a few other uses if yer brave enough.![]()
It can also be used to pull the shifter shaft seal out of an old BMW motorcycle...should the need ariseAlso handy for pulling cords tight![]()

Very nice Mr.P ...where did all the great craftsmen/women go?
I look forward to seeing what knives you pick each day and I'm never disappointed !![]()
Thank you very much my friendI have three, including one that is set up on a stand. I use them just as much as my electric drills, sometimes, for a small job, because it's just quicker, but also where I need to go slowly, with a lot of control. An example is when I want to add a compass or camera mount to the top of a wooden staff, where a hand drill would definitely be my first choice
The liner lock is a really cool feature Mr P, and your KK Barlow is very cool too![]()

I switched to this Barlow yesterday evening before we went out to eat with some good friends who are in town to meet a new grandson.
It will do me just fine for today, too.

Great character in that 56 Will.
Not so much in those shriveled up old grapes that are soon to be raisins.
Well your usual insults about my vegetation and culinary backdrops... accidentally caused you to be right on both countsI'm a big fruit eater, but it does run through you a fair bit...
any grapes that I have left over DO get turned into raisins and these were en route to being hung up to dry. They're excellent, sweet & chewy, why waste 'em?
Actually, raisins are just grapes with heavy patina![]()
Those two are very cool.
Nice pic![]()
Thanks, guys. The covers on that one seem to be particularly photogenic.Great picture of your Rosie Lamb !
That keen kutter is everything a barlow should be. Looks great.................................. and a smiling fish face at that !![]()
I decided to tote my old Catt Hunters Pride one more day, along with an old Barlow.
The Hunters Pride locks up nice and tight with that liner lock, which was patented in 1906.
