What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Gonna be a somewhat laid back day. Light showers are possible this afternoon. Staying home but tomorrow we're going to town and the Wagon Wheel Cafe for sure. "Burning Man" people will be coming through Alturas and they like to stop at the Wagon Wheel as they spread North and West to the Pacific Northwest. They're usually covered with the white, alkaline, dust of the desert but this year, they're going to be muddy as all get out. It'll be a sight to see. I'm carrying this Lambfoot today which was a thoughtful gift from Dan sf fanatic sf fanatic . It's a bit unusual as it has a long bolster. Anyway, I'm a bit better today and am going to attempt to eat one of Cindy's soft, fluffy, pancakes and scrambled eggs. Thanks to all who passed on get well wishes yesterday.

Ed, I’m inclined to go with the description from the Famous Sheffield Shop. Jane whose the manager calls it a barlow…so I’m not going to argue with this fine lady. 🤷
 
Carried these 2 all day today : Northfield 83 and Grohmann Bird & Trout

Even still had them when it was time to do the Vidalia Onion Bratwursts for supper

Continue to have the problem with not being able blindly insert the Grohmann back into the Sheath . I will be adding a tapered edge to the walnut handles . Grohmann does put a tapered edge on part of it , but it is not enough IMO and I will remedy that . It may break in with time and use , but I am not willing take that time .

HI Mike. I modded that RR080 by grinding the spay blade into a punch. Here's a pic of the other side.

Nice work Kevin :) :thumbsup:
Sweet pair, Jack! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:
Thanks buddy :) :thumbsup:
That's certainly not an injury you'd predict, Jack! o_O:( I hope it's relatively minor, and not something like a rotator cuff "explosion" (something of which I live in constant fear:eek:).
No, my clavicle is still out of place at the front, so I hope it doesn't recur. Not the rotator cuff I don't think, but they just told me it was a soft-tissue injury at the hospital, which is pretty vague, and not very helpful :( :thumbsup:

Thanks, Jack; those Cannon knives are much better knives than I was expecting.
Your bone WCLF is also a much better CAKE knife than I was expecting! 🤓:thumbsup::thumbsup:
Thanks again my friend :D :thumbsup:

All day in the salsa trenches…Well, half the day.

One pot hot, one pot not.

The spicier batch got black beans and corn.
LOL! :D Looks great Jeff, you are very industrious :) :thumbsup:

Jane is a very fine lady, but nobody who has ever worked at that shop has ever known as much about knives as the average new poster on BF. No doubt that piece of misinformation comes from the manufacturer, who until I had my Hartshead Barlow SFOs made, thought a Barlow was a short-bolstered Clip-point Jack. If they extended the bolster, they'd have to shell out for more nickel silver. That shop does sell genuine Barlows, but they're made by TEW, not by Wright's :thumbsup:
Thanks a lot for your kind words Jack!!! :) :thumbsup:

Those two slicers look mighty fine together, Jack; an excellent way to start your week! :cool:;):thumbsup::thumbsup:
Many thanks my friend :) :thumbsup:
I started the week with mostly metal. :)
That's a superb way to start the week JJ, great pairing :cool: :thumbsup:
