Looking quite dapper, Steve

Thankee.
I decided to go with traditional pre 1950-1965 style for a while. I recall my paternal grandfather always wore a waistcoat and tie. (he passed in 1963) when he wasn't working. He wore them under a lab coat at work. He worked in a lab developing crops for ADM(?) or whatever seed compny was in town. (It was not Monsanto.)
Maternal great grandfather (1892-1974) also always wore a waistcoat and tie. He was a farmer and laborer during his working days.

Both claimed a man was not properly dressed without a wastcoat and tie.

I know the gents in the photos Jack Black posted of folks working at the cutley works, in which all the gents wearing a waistcoat and tie under their shop aprons were not wering them cuz they were taking photos that day. That was the normal style/dress for a man.
The way the women were dressed was also "normal" for the time.

Can you tell me about the Sog? Is the recurve part of the design? It's a good looking knife!

It is indeed. That’s why I found it so hard to get a good edge on it. As I told Gary I’ve been using a Sharpmaker for many years with good results but I couldn’t get a satisfactory edge on it. Gary solved this for me.

What’s the hunk of metal?

It's a railroad anchor I found a while back in the woods like 200 yards from a train track.

Spent last night up in the mountains in a tent. It rained all night long. buddy has a very coveted elk tag where he’s the only person that gets to hunt this unit. Thought perhaps a Buck with Elk might bring us luck. He went after one, but it didn’t work out. The day was absolutely nasty with wicked rain, lots of fog and windy. I had to leave to come home, which I don’t mind because my bed is nicer and warmer than the tent was last night.

I’m not sure if I mentioned it before but a few years ago I saw your post with the SOG and decided that I wanted one. It took a few years to find one at a reasonable price but I finally did! It’s definitely a beast. I found it hard to put a good edge on it. So I sent off to @Gary W. Graley and MAN did he put an excellent edge on her!

They're great knives Dan. The best way, for me at least, is to sharpen them on a rod. Sometimes, I use Lansky rods but I like Spyderco's Triangle rods the best.

Thanks Ed! For the time being I’m good. I do have some Lansky rods so in the future I’ll try them.

You look very dapper My maternal grandfather was a wire-weaver, and the other was a builder, and later worked on the railways. Neither would have left the house without a cap, and a collar and tie, and always wore them under their overalls. Even when I started work, as a mechanic, in the 1970's, several of the 'older men', in their 30's, wore ties

Have a good day everyone

In addition to my Hartshead Barlow, I'm carrying a Random Tuesday Solar Barlow from @1970

Nice pair !

Thanks gents. Amazing how a 100+ plus year old knife can look and function, as good as, a new one.

I love the incoming 'interceptor' aspect of this picture, straight as an arrow to the heart . But the beautiful lighting that contrasts the bone with the grain of the wood (where no faces do lurk..) and the metals, casts the atmosphere

Vintage pieces at their very best, not busted and rusted.

You are back on top with this one Mr P and I declare total bias, anything with a Pruner is bound to spark me off.

Thanks, Will

Thank you Will ........ I liked the part about not busted or rusted.

Ruggedly handsome pair of knives Mr P

Thank you my friend !
