Thanks kindly Jack.That's some gorgeous jigging there Bob
LOL!My kids used to do Irish dancing, not sure why
My favourite story about the origin of the style is that at one time, the British Crown banned dancing in Ireland, so to avoid arrest, the Irish folk only danced from the waist down, so that when the British Army walked past pub windows, they couldn't tell dancing was going on!
A very worthy recipientThanks Jack. I agree…I have been a recipient of the great porch culture once again.
Snap!Miscellaneous Knife of the Week is an EC Simmons Keen Kutter (thanks, Mark). I'd have guessed the knife had a spearpoint blade and ebony handle, but a couple of helpful BF members showed me a catalog cut, and the model number on my knife indicates that it was originally a spey blade with cocobolo handles (from 1921-1934 era).

I did wonder about thatThanks, Jack! It's a wee little thing at just 2.5 inches closed. I wouldn't be lying though if I said this one got me into this traditional madness in the first place, as you can judge by the profile name I use here. And I haven't regretted one day of it.![]()
Yesterday’s mail floored me. Paul @Jakeywax31 went overboard and sent me this Beer Scout that I have had on my want list for a long time. Such a generous gift from a great guy. Thanks so much my friend! To my surprise, the box didn’t just have one knife…but I can’t show that one in this thread (that knife had a hole in the blade, if you know what I mean). I’ll post it in the modern/traditional thread.
Just in time for the weekend’s football games! Where’s my beer….

I want to know how many clowns get into it Dan.It’s a foggy Friday here in the City by the Bay! I’m waiting for whoever owns that interesting car parked across the street to show up so I can inquire about it. I figure they are trying to win a bet! Keeping me company today is the usual lamb and CL SAK. Have a great weekend folks!
