[Druk]

Almost every day for the last six months or so since I bought it. Boker Beer Barrel Whittler, pretty dang close to perfection, good steel, comfortable in the hand, looks good.

Been too busy to post much recently but I've kept my little lovelies close by. Today I was totin' this little Norfolk.

Nice knives and pictures everyone:thumbup:

Just a quick pic of my latest knife....I like this quite a bit, clad in Gabon Ebony:thumbup:

Looks pretty nice Paul. I trust that yours is put together as well as mine.

Harry

Wow Harry!!! I had to look back...what nice Stag my friend!!! They are a terrific knife. It's fun for me to try purpose built knives and actually apply them in day to day use. The pruner is a precise cutter. I find the beak? Hook tip very handy. As a plus it carried very slim as Pruners in the past just didn't carry well for me.

Ok, lookin at a Stag version now Harry, enabler, enabler, enabler:thumbup:

Paul - Beauty of a knife there - that Northfield !!!

Jack - thank you very much for posting that picture of Stan's shop ! The tools are remarkable ! Hope you got more pics for us to see.

I got this J. Fenton & Sons LTD. Farrier Horseman, Sheffield, England in the mail today. It had some very ugly what I call spider web patina on the tools and water spotting on the blades. I spent a couple hours cleaning it up, but, there is plenty of old left showing. I had wanted a Farrier Horseman for a long while and am happy to get this one, which is very mechanically sound. I will post more pics of it later. For now, it has kicked my redbones out of my pockets for the rest of the day. A very nice size at 3.5"closed and I am very impressed with the quality.

Like that one a lot Primble !!!!! All of the old Farrier knives look kind a clunky , but once you think about the tools in the package , you realize that they are beautiful tools !!!! Thanks for posting pictures of a very nice knife !!!!!!

Nice that I can be an enabler for a change . I know that they really are a niche knife , but I use an old Hawkbill in the gardens and I thought they would be nice for breaking down boxes for re-cycling as well. The fact that you could get a big slab of Stag also had a little to do with the decision to get one. Here is hoping that you will get a Stag too !!!!

It is a great knife Ron ! :thumbup:

Notthisfalcon - A very nice Robeson Pocketeze today !! :thumbup:

Fantastic Find, Rob. Not only great tools, but also handsome bone.

Thank you Dean ! Nice Ancient today ! :thumbup:

Primble - I don't know how I managed to blow right by this beauty, unless it had something to do with not wanting to eat cold Chinese! It is quite a wonderful old knife. Congrats on this one are in order my friend.:thumbup:

Thank you Ron - I reckon' you were looking for something more red from me. ( I posted my reds first thing this morning )

Thats a great looking knife Primble

Totin this pair today

Thank you P&G ! A fine pair you have today - the blue is electric ! :thumbup:

Steingass does some amazing work Primble, the rosewood on that one is beautifully formed.

Finally got a super eraser by advice of Primble a long while and gave my 56 bolsters and opinel ring lock a matte brushed finish.
Will always have this knife for the sentimental value and usefulness of Bob's EO notch

Thank you Tim. The satin looks nice ! If you want a little more shine, you can rub it briefly with 0000 steel wool afterwards to give it a low lustre look, or not !

Carried this just in Case

Primble....its about time you showed us your collection of Farrier knives! I just knew you had some thoroughbred stables on the back 40

Good call on the Case, just in case ! It is a beauty. I only have the one Farrier my friend !

I like this one. Böker knives don't get the respect they deserve. Every one I have bought has great fit and finish at a very reasonable price.

[lambertiana]

This small Chambriard is a great little knife.

 

[eschwebach]

Giving the Nieto another break while I try out the new Taximanny sodbuster in O1 and OD Canvas Micarta:

I really like that knife Comeuppance, I will have to keep my eye out for some of his future offerings. :thumbup: O1 is one of my favorite steels.

I just feel better with Charlie's Harness jack in my pocket!

The jigging and coloration of that bone is beyond reproach. Fantastic! Thank you for sharing Robb.

"Up The Owls!" as they say in Sheffield :thumbup:

Cool article Jack . Particularly apropos that the Owls were originally nicknamed the Blades, after the famous cutlers of the region .

This picture should be turned into a canvas and mounted prominently in a knife museum! That detail is amazing

 

[dispatch184]

A far inferior shot but had this guy in the pocket today

 

[paulhilborn]

Paul - That is a beautiful Northfield and the Ebony is very nice. I had hoped for some Ebony on the Viper, but will have to settle for Rosewood and Snakewood!

Well I am still carrying red bone today, but it is not 70's vintage! But, it will hold its own!

Thank you Ron and WONDERFUL VIPER!!!

I love everything about this photo!

That is my favorite style of mammoth. :thumbup: I love the mineral/ivory contrast!!

Clean, elegant, understated, sophisticated. :thumbup: I love the Northfield etch and clean execution of the design. Congrats on such a fine new knife!!

Robb - That is a beautiful HJ! The bone is very nice!:thumbup:

Thanks HS. Charlie really hit it out of the ballpark with this!

The jigging and coloration of that bone is beyond reproach. Fantastic! Thank you for sharing Robb.

Thank you Erik, that means a lot to me! I really enjoy using this one. :thumbup:
