I noticed that, and was thinking that’s unusual for early Feb up there, right?
Sure hope we at least get spring rain if we’re not gonna get more snow.

Really Warm, Jeff. Hope it holds up for the show!!

Congrats on the snag Robert! What a beautiful example of the #78, I love the jigged bone single blade variety!

If so, that Boker surely fits the bill, Todd.

You could certainly do worse than those two fantastic knives, Ken.

Burned all my daylight working and then finished a project that will go in the mail to a friend tomorrow. Carrying these two today.

CANADA WW2

This is an extra post for Canadians.

I got lost on the way home tonight looking for a short cut and came across this memorial in the middle of a housing estate.

The inscription stands to the bravery of the 2 Airmen and the naming of the roads shows the gratitude and respect shown them by the local towns people.

RIP lads.









The knife is what I call my Canadian Case genrously given to me by Dan.

I found out some more info here its worth a read.

MiD recommendation: "Sergeant Andrew was the flight engineer of a Halifax which caught fire and crashed near Wallingford, Oxford, on the 9th of September 1944. The pilot had given the order to abandon aircraft and all the crew complied with the exception of Sergeant Andrew. Undoubtedly, Sergeant Andrew, who had plenty of time to leave the aircraft, stayed with his pilot in an effort to assist him in making a safe landing. This was not effected, but through the efforts of this NCO and his pilot, the lives of many villagers and their property were saved, at the expense of their own. For his devotion to duty and commendable courage it is recommended that he be mentioned in despatches, posthumously."

On the 9th. September, 1944, F/O. J.A. Wilding and SGT. J.F. Andrew of No.426 Squadron, Royal Canadian Air Force by remaining at the controls of their damaged and bomb laden aircraft steered it clear of Wallingford to crash and explode in open fields. Their supreme sacrifice and conspicuous gallantry almost certainly saved the lives of many of the Town’s inhabitants. These roads have been named after them and this plaque has been erected in grateful thanks by the Borough of Wallingford.

“Their name liveth for evermore”

Thank you Jeremy! Those two you're carrying are gorgeous as well!

 

[Johnnythefox]

They look like giant sequoia to me, and I checked if there are any planted at Wallingford. Sure enough, there are some there. During Victorian times they were fashionable trees to plant. Those in your picture look to be about the right size for trees that are about 100-150 years old. Not as tall as they would be in a forest of similar trees. Wait 3000 years and they will be like this one, which is about 45 miles from my house:

Wow now thats a treee.

 

[Grateful]

Nice knife, my High Carbon brother.

Thanks! This one’s just getting broken in good.

 

[Joefairbanks]

Oh, extra bonus picture- I forgot to take a picture of the Mustang that I had in another pocket!

 

[Old Engineer]

Really Warm, Jeff. Hope it holds up for the show!!

Two solid choices, and another good dad joke Jeremy. (“good dad joke” might be an oxymoron)

 

[Jack Black]

Thank you, Jack.

Don’t think a pair of knives could ever top those two, Jack. Have a great day my friend.

Thanks Paul, that's very kind of you my friend

A fine pairing for Friday Jack. Rich looking bone.

Thank you very much Bob :tumbsup:

I agree with Paul, those are two rare beauties Jack.

Many thanks Todd, I'm touched brother

I haven't smoked a pipe since high school.

LOL! Very good Rachel I was talking to an old pal, in London, today, and he was telling me he was smoking30 cigarettes a day. I had to tell him, I smoked 40 a day in my early teens, and that was considered 'moderate' smoking at the time!

Great pair!

Thank you, that's a beautiful photo

Case XX 6143 (1940-64) Grandaddy Barlow for Friday. I snatched this off our Exchange the other day ....... my first ever Grandaddy Barlow.
It's a pocket full ...... very stout and snappy. I'm going to leave it looking like a grandpa ought to look. I'm going to be leaning, so no other knife today.

Welcome to the forums There's a saying here, 'Pics, or it didn't happen!'

And, how is M. Poirot?

LOLL! He has taken to wearing a Holmsian Deer-Stalker!

Brian started his working life on steam trains, eventually elevating to driving them, but he spent most of his working life as a 'bin-man', a refuse collector. Brian really liked the job, as he had a good set of mates, and when his best friend passed away, he left Brian his house. Brian had a house, he didn't need another, so he sold it, and one of the first things him and his missus did, was to go off on the Orient Express, where the Bradford bin-man had a butler

Some high-class pocket jewelry right there, Jack!!

Many thanks Ken

Locking Knife of the Week is a Joker horn lockback:

By weird coincidence of my rotation schedule, International Knife of the week is a very similar Joker horn knife, but with no lock. I really like the coloring of the horn on both of these (I'd give a slight edge to the second knife)!
