What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

A.W. Wadsorth & Sons Germany. Heavily "restored" but still tight and quite full. The lineage of this Co. is complicated but related to Alfred Kastor in ways that are beyond my understanding. Slip joint manufacturing lineages are convoluted to say the least. It's a favorite EDC in my collection and will be keeping company with me today.

Had a bit of hail while in town yesterday. Very cold last night - 25 degrees. Snow shovels and little tractor have been gone over and are ready to move snow. Sausage and eggs for breakfast. Gonna be a lazy day. Carrying this Case Zulu Spear Tribal Lock and enjoying a relaxing cup of coffee to start the day off.

Once ive taken a new knife out on my motorbike it then feels like its mine.

Went to Caffeine and Machine near Stratford upon Avon first,then on the way home detoured to Hook Norton brewery for a excellent pot of tea at the cafe.

I got to see the new young Shire horses used by the draymen,the power of those horses is mind boggling when you see the weight they pull.

They give them great names...Brigadier, Balmoral and Cromwell.

They are treated like royalty and when retired are looked after at the stables for the rest of their lives.

Its far more than a working brewery these people care for tradition and doing the right thing.

Shire Horses - Hook Norton Brewery

There are few better sights than one of Hook Norton’s beautiful shire horses, fully harnessed to pull its loaded dray through local Cotswold villages

The Bantam combi tool worked perfect today in removing the stones I often get trapped in my down pipes (even though its not as beefy as the cadet/soldier screwdriver I usually use).

Still flooded,muddy and slippy (I lost the back end on wet leaves coming out of my drive).

The Shire horses remind me of the Clydesdales. Interweb research revealed that the Shires have been around a few centuries longer than the Scottish Clydesdale and that the Clydesdales have some Shire blood in them. American beer brand Budweiser uses Clydesdales for advertising. The horses are raised and kept at Warm Springs Ranch in Boonville, Missouri, just up the road a piece. From a 2015 tour we took:


A brand new one:



A little one in the back and getting curious:



The tour included a photo op.


Me (I'm the one in the hat)


I don't remember what knife I carried that day. Today I've used the scissors in the Climber so far.

Looks like a good, strong cup of coffee. That should knock the chill off
 
I'm carrying this Lockwood again today. I'm absolutely in love with this old knife. It's going to be a user that gets serious pocket time. Corn was getting low in the feeders, and the deer came out to protest 🤣
