Thanks! It was a late night online auction find. Right place right time. 100% user that I was able to shine back up. Luckily the guy got a fair price for it. Before and after below. Notice the scales.

Two terrific and titanic Trappers JJ

Thank you very much, Jack!!!

Carrying my 2019 Guardians Lambsfoot - Lucy - today With a Blood Red #66 Trapper - in the other pocket! Have a good day everyone

Lucy was in a very sharp mood and drew first blood? Wonderful Wednesday combo of two excellent slicers, Jack!

I had these two Cocobolo wearing lads with me today.

I’ve been pretty busy lately but finally had a little time to spend on the Forum. I carried my TC barlow today. Here it is making lunch this morning.

 

[Jack Black]

Those look like they will definitely add some zest to your meals Jack.

Thanks Bob, congratulations on the new Lambsfoot

Carrying one of my “new to me” knives I picked up at the Badger show last weekend. Lots of blade left and now it’s nice and sharp.

Nice find Todd

err .............. all right then ............. count me in on the "more informed" as I have since read Mr. Jack's link and hereby give it the Primble stamp of approval, for cutting mining belts.

I had already done some thinking about that knife, wondering why Taylor's would make a knife like that, but, my line of thinking was in the garden and not the mine ...... but now it makes perfect sense to me ..... the angle might have prevented the belt cutters hand from getting injured by the belt.

I see that even Mr. Jack and Stan Shaw got my first impression ..... or odd look on their face, the first time encountered. In the end, they stopped making it. Does not surprise me ... as they probably got tired of sayin' "It ain't broke" !!!

Mr. Jack - I like your totes for the day ....... but most anyone can tell you poured ketchup on that poor little lamb !



Thank you J.J. and I reciprocate your kind compliment back at you for your fine folders and always nicely photographed.

For wooden Wednesday, I'll be lightening up the load with my Bona custom Damascus Hunter and my Albers Cocobolo Jack.

Two stunners Mr P

I guess they brought out the pretty ones after I left…

Safety around moving belts makes perfect sense in explaining AB.

Jack’s photo is NOT staged. It was before they put him on blood thinners.

One of the Porchsters kindly brought an Albers to the show for me to get my grubby paws on. Very well made.
I have previously complimented/drooled over that hunter, so can I just say Ditto?

Camillus post war engineer knife and a lamb today. Have a great day everyone.

Those two look good together Paul

I’m glad you’re not zombified!
How long before “That picture of me robbing the bank was Photoshopped, yer honor!” becomes a defense tactic?

Dates to 1980, at least, Jeff!.

I was prepping to shave and a thought popped to mind, here is my photo for the day. This is my Case with one of my ebay rescue razors. The edge had some pits, so had to take some of the edge off and buff it for awhile, but now it shaves very nicely.

Great pairing Steve

That’s a great story about your dad, Harry, and neat that it made the paper! Here’s an old newspaper clipping of my dad “on the job.”

I won’t make that mistake again! (Ah, who am I kidding? I probably will. I’ve even got a spreadsheet. Need to add a few knives to it and get it up to date.)



That’s a really special knife, Jeff.



That’s a nice one! Not the flashiest jigged bone GEC has done, but fits really nicely with the knife.

I grabbed these two today for What-A-Wooden-Wednesday.

Cool pic Barrett

Cream tea £3.50 that will do nicely thank you.

Jam first Cornish style of course

New money clip SAK is a great into town carry in my little EDC,I use the clip to secure it in the pouch.

I also carry plasters which came in handy at the gig on Sunday,handing 2 to a guitarist who had cut his finger.

He then played on,never underestimate the constant exciting times I live in (not)

Bargain! You struggle to get a coffee for that in Leeds

Thank you very much, Jack!!!

Lucy was in a very sharp mood and drew first blood? Wonderful Wednesday combo of two excellent slicers, Jack!

Thank you my friend, I had to put Lucy in the Sin Bin!

I had these two Cocobolo wearing lads with me today.

Those two vintage beauties pair nicely together JJ

Have a good day everyone Just scoffing my birthday breakfast, before I head down to the market

Having ended the experiment and going back to my sinfull ways as an incurable knife knut, I have my daily rotation with me. In addition to my ever present Wenger SI in its belt pouch with the LED light, I have my old yellow peanut back in my right pocket. My classic is back on my keyring, and I feel like all is back as it should be. And in memory of my dear old Uncle Paul, I even tucked a very old Christy knife in my tobacco pouch, just in case.

What are you guys carrying today?

A Buck 303 Cadet.

Thursday. It's... blue.

Thursday. It's... blue.

That's just a classy looking Case Gordon. The coloring is attractive and the size is just right for a pocket carry.

Thank you. I agree - just the right size IMHO.

I really like Barlows. I do think I'm liking the Boker Coppertops and Expeditions though. Although I really like the #14. So many choices. Too many.

 

[Rufus1949]

I heard there was picture doctoring occurring ...so...I doctored this picture of my Schrade..... with a Bulldog doctor's knife.

Have a nice day
