Great looking Barlow Gary! That bolster with the logo is a nice touch.

Thanks, Lance.
I'm not a huge fan of the Barlow pattern, probably because I prefer using a longer knife. But I sure find the bolster stamps on Barlows to be very interesting.

Thanks Rick, I will keep an open mind when carrying it today.

Bob, I grew up farming and a stockman was the preferred knife. It handled everything needed on the farm and other areas. Hopefully it becomes a favorite of yours.

It looks like they got their bone from the same source. Very nice.

I was in the minority voting for a second blade.

I don't remember that vote, but I'd have been with you.

And/or the 14, and whatever is the next larger Barlow they make ... perhaps with a stainless version in all three sizes for those who prefer GEC's 440C?
(There is no question in my (alleged/so called) "mind" that the collectors would buy at least one of all the sizes in both 1095 and 440C in all handles offered (bone, stag, acrylic, micarta, etc.) ... and complain they are "sold out" inside 0.0005 seconds after the release. )

(it seems there are quite a few that prefer stainless ... and 440C is a good one ... tho difficult to sharpen on a Arkansas oil Stone, or smooth river rock, if ("when") you neglected to bring your sharpening stone on that week (or longer) camping/fishing/hunting expedition....

I briefly pawed through a few cigar boxes, but this pair remains on duty. I just like them.

Fresh photo, though.
When you're retired, you no longer have that daily grind to remind you of what day it is. You rely on other markers to keep track of the days. For example, Friday is band rehearsal day, so I know what day today is.

Have a great day!

Miscellaneous Knife of the Week is a Keen Kutter office knife (thanks, Mark):

Lambsfoot of the Week is Union Jack, a rosewood lambsfoot my wife and daughter bought for me while visiting York, England (about 9 years ago IIRC):
