Did you dye the bone on these Mr. R. ? They look to be about the same color ? I really like the Jack on the bottom.

They are as I received them Mr.P. They remain untouched, for now That is the closest to natural color I could get with phone.
Thank you. The bottom Jack is quite the piece of cutlery.( heavy).

Beautiful!
Gotta say Bob, you’re becoming quite the vintage collector!

Wow...it's prettiness really pops when you present it from that perspective Mr.P.

Great example of camel bone Pat.

Jeff, love the guard duck protecting that fine pairing.

Ok, time to give kudos to Jakeywax31 aka Paul. He was at the knife show and found knives I have been searching for...low and behold he found two examples. Then he goes and gifts them to me. I have entered them in my drawer of appreciation.
Thank you Paul.

I opened the package yesterday and was blown away with the gesture of generosity and friendship. Thanks Bob!!!!!!!. The Charlie lamb will be in tote as well. Have a great day and a wonderful weekend everyone.

Win/Win !!!

Pat, did you fill the bathtub? Growing up on the Great Plains of Nebraska my dad would always insist on that during severe storms.

Not for drinking. For flushing. Beats hauling buckets from the creek.

So much generosity going on around here!
It’s Schradurday.
Here are some things I like ~ knives and a Telecaster.

[Rufus1949]

Thank you Bob!

Sorry...typo...dualing blades.

Beautiful!

Thanks Ed...lots of time on my hands.

Edit..since I moved on from modern knives, I have learned to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of these traditionals.

 

[Ed G]

Thanks Ed...lots of time on my hands.

Yeah … time … that’s the culprit …

Edit … I agree - my appreciation of the quality and consistency of many of the earlier knives is evolving as well. I have recently discovered this first hand in that little Eisenhower penknife I picked up.
But I’m supposed to be exhibiting some modicum of restraint (self-inflicted, but inflicted nonetheless) …

"There is no future in England's dreaming"
1977 The Sex Pistols

Yesterday I sold my backup (lockdown) fridge to a girl for £50 (she was so happy) then went to the record store and inadvertenly bought more records.

The randomness of England still amuses me,Sgt Pepper looking down on a rain washed street,Girls dressed up to the 9s with plastic bags on the head.

I was looking out of the record store coffe shop window, a homeless chap was walking past outside we made eye contact and both of us laughed out loud when we saw the girls.

Lifes little moments are what makes it.

In my pocket I had decided to carry my Old English.



Later that night I went to a very heavy rock concert in the same area,even with ear plugs in it was LOUD no carry as didnt want anything confiscated.

Lots of old faces not seen for a while.

After I went in a pub one of my old Army mates frequents as I had promised him my old vacum cleaner (hes older than me,another NI vet though he was a Tankie).

I dragged him out and we took it to another pub nearby where he rents a very noisy room,I declined the offer of a drink as I had to drive home.

All in a all a rock and roll day (of sorts)...its till raining today

Looks like the pub I'm in right now John. Took this for you

 

[screened porch]

In my pocket just now.

This RR cattleman is better built than the cinnamon bone stag carbon one. Only peeve, they could have made access a little more open to the main nail nick.
