Jack, I thank you Sir. You and Earl are having some great memories together.
Gev, That is a classical beauty of a Barlow my friend
Our wings were clipped by some bad weather today, but I took Earl for a trip round the Yorkshire towns of Harrogate, Knaresborough, and Otley
How on earth did I miss that beautiful Barlow?!
:thumbup:
Great pic Jake :thumbup:
While some are totin' those fancy new Beer Scout Knives, I've got Ol' Reliable in my pocket.
You're making me thirsty Scott!
:thumbup:
Great work :thumbup:
Nice to see that one there with you r8shell
Lovely pic, two nice knives, but the Chamblin is quite stunning :thumbup:
I managed to get this pic of Earl from the walls of Knaresborough Castle before the rain came

This is a great photo, Tim. I love how the light comes through the bone. Did not notice Jack's comment when I posted this.

Got this in the mail today and into the pocket it goes
The mini trapper is a perfect gentleman size for me at 3 1/2" closed
I love a peanut and this mini trapper is like an over grown one but single blade
It fits my hand and grip MUCH better than a peanut too
No doubt, I'm really going to enjoy this one
I looked at the line on the mark side scale under high magnification and see that it's not a crack. It's not mobile any where either. I don't have enough experience with handle material to know what it is, but it's not a crack. At least not that I can tell ... and not yet Lol
For now I think the line, while I wish it weren't there, just gives it character of natural material. Not beautiful character, but character. And if it ever was a crack, it VERY stable now.
I mean, surely it isn't a crack? This is a new old stock unused knife. Who would put a cracked scale on the mark side? I kinda feel the cutler must have given thought to it and purposely selected this scale for the mark side for what ever reason ... dunno and prolly never will

Recycled state of awe, but genuine, nonetheless; that's an unbelievable knife, David!!!
:thumbup:You're welcome, Gevo; you and your knife certainly deserved it!
Never thought of it that way, Jack!...That's practically a regiment!
I've never thought of myself as "officer material", but, hey, I'm in charge of a regiment! 
Very apt description of your monster black beauty, choomback! :thumbup:Thanks Gevo... it is indeed one of the few knives that is gorgeous and brute at the same time!
Thanks, Primble....Thanks GT ! You ought to be prepared for about anything with those three.
...
I can at least pretend that the knives I enjoy help me make my way through the world more effectively! 
Cool observation, Jake!
I'd better make sure they're lined up in the correct order in my pocket to get the full flag effect! That Salamandra is very appealing, R.c.s.:thumbup: (See the photos I post below to see that I'm carrying something very similar this week.)
Very nice photo, BroJim! :thumbup::thumbup: I couldn't stop WATCHing your Alox Solo!
That looks GREAT, A.L.!! :thumbup:
I hope to do something similar this summer if I can just find the time and energy! Joe, your precious perfect pearl pen is totally astounding!!
:thumbup::thumbup: (I have to confess that I have a soft spot in my heart for old Imperials, though - it also looks great to me. )Superb pic, Tim!! :thumbup::thumbup:
Splendid knife, Andi; I really like the blade stamp on those 73s!
VERY nice acquisition, Jim; that's gorgeous! :thumbup::thumbup:
Among the knives I'm carrying this week are a Cudeman from Spain and a Holub electrician that I need to give some TLC.

GEC #73 with ebony covers.
73's and Ebony just go together like peanut butter and jelly.
