I hope all goes well for your Lacey, Tyson. She looks like a fantastic companion.

Thank you - that she is!

Been a heckuva' few weeks here. Glad to have such fine tools to tote along for the busy-ness. Wish I had time to pull up a chair, but that's looking another week or two out for me. No rest for the wicked they say, and honestly it's still better than I've earned . The fancy new phone takes pretty nice pics, eh?

Beautiful pair and I would say the fancy phone does take nice photos, but, it was you that selected the nice background.
I always heard that said "No rest for the weary".

Stag/Horn Knife this week is a Marbles ram's horn sowbelly stockman:


Work Knife this week is a Colonial SAK-clone/advertising knife. I have no idea how or where I got it, but I think I've had it at least 40 years.

Gotta travel up to PA to deal with cleaning/fixing up the father-in-law’s house after his recent passing. This will be my traditional for the week, as I felt it might be the most useful (as long as it doesn’t get pilfered from the luggage).

I came back this morning to take another look at this. Yep, I do like it... a lot.

Thank you Frank, have a great weekend!!!

 

[JJ Cahill]

That's a very nice-looking scope JJ, what do you have it mounted on, if you don't mind my asking? Cool Case Barlow too of course

Thank you very much, Jack!!! It's a SIG SSG .308 that I picked up several years back.

Snowpocalypse has hit the UK!

Beautiful frosty images of your two Friday slicers! Worst case, you can use the butt of the Buck to break the ice!

I had these two 80+ years old sharpies for my Friday slicing.

Spent some time on the phone with ExpressScripts this morning ordering drugs and straightening out a website glitch. For all the criticism ES gets, the two people I spoke with were nice and professional and took care of everything

I hope you caught the lousy bum.

You're very welcome Tyson Poor Lacey, I hope she makes a swift recovery

Nice choice

Great to be able to tick a few things off the list eh Mr P? Mine never seems to get much shorter!

Good-looking bunch

The lazer-like low winter sun has taken care of most of it Jeff. Didn't stop the Royal Mail failing to get through though Thanks my friend Business was very slow yesterday, and it snowed all day, without settling. Tool Man hadn't brought all his stock, as when the tools get wet, (as they did), they rust, which can mean a day's work. I did get a very nice Skinner & Johnson No3 Long-handled (4ft) Yorkshire Pattern Billhook/Slasher the day before though Just waiting for the next Peasants Revolt!

Good-looking pair, and a great pic

Thank you kindly, Jack!
Hmm. I wonder which side of that peasant’s revolt you’ll be on?
Nice score! Handy for revolts or zombie apocalypses, whichever comes first.

Thank you Jeff.
Your totes look mighty fine today..

And thank you, Bob!

I hope there are a lot of good memories to help the family through this difficult experience.

JJ, two fine pieces of cutlery you have there. I especially like the Remington.

 

[Jack Black]

A very cool Toole! I've got a couple of tail-locks. Ron Lake had the patent on the lock. Here's an old Blade Magazine article on it, https://blademag.com/knifemaking/ron-lakes-tab-lock-the-clever-lever/amp.

Thanks for posting that link Gary, very interesting

Jack I was worried after checking all day to see when the knife will arrive and then finally the tracking says it is in your mailbox and I open the box to find just a coupon to buy a taco and get one free. I love tacos though. My neighbors are all great and the third neighbor I asked had it. My P.O. is actually pretty good. We got 5.5 inches of rain yesterday so my mail person probably had a hard time reading the address.
Here’s a picture of the pile side:

That's good Kurt, I have nice neighbours too My mail delivery was cancelled yesterday, due to about 2" of snow! Thanks for the look at the Pile side, it's a beautiful knife Enjoy your tacos buddy

Impressive pairing David

I am relieved to not have to worry about getting wet the next time the hard rains come. I had to find an old friend (retired roofer) to get the job done.
I tracked him down on his farm tractor, way out in the country.

That Hartshead looks rather small compared to that big ole Skinner & Johnson No3 Long-handled (4ft) Yorkshire Pattern Billhook/Slasher.

Yes, I had almost forgotten how hard it is having to deal with a leaking roof my friend. I've been pretty lucky in my current place, only had one small leak, due to a loose slate, in 21 years, but it was different when I was a kid, and a few places I lived as a young adult. I'm glad you have it fixed now Doesn't it just?!

If its carbon why no patina or rust?

I sanded the handle smooth and put 4 coats of Danish oil on it.

It is so sharp that even though its light and my hand is week/in pain I could chop through this branch in no time,the sharpest knife ive ever owned.

The perfect outdoors knife paired today with a Farmer.

I think the polish makes a big difference. Great pics, and an outstanding outdoor pair

What a great pic Tyson, I'd forgotten you had a martial interest I'll have to see if there's anything down at the Royal Armouries for you - I'm talking about some postcards or a book, not about pinching their collection!

Thank you very much, Jack!!! It's a SIG SSG .308 that I picked up several years back.

Very nice indeed JJ, a good round LOL! Thanks buddy

Amazing! Great to see those two together my friend

Thank you kindly, Jack!

LOL! Thanks Jeff, Tool Man wanted me to take it to the market, so he could have a look at it - on the bus!

Wishing everyone a great weekend I'm having a Double Lambsfoot Day!
