I don't typically go for acrylics, but that new snakeskin pattern is really nice. You got a beauty Joe. :thumbup:

Lovely old Barlow :thumbup:

A very long day today, and I'm tired and aching from it, but as well as a chat with Stan Shaw, I got to have lunch in one of my favourite pubs, and picked up half a dozen old Sheffield knives :) I had this old William Rodgers (another firm Stan worked for at one time) in my pocket :thumbup:

Thanks, Jack! Nice sleeveboard. I look forward to seeing the "half dozen old Sheffield knives" the next time you do a kitchen table photo essay. :)

I also admire that little Catt Barlow of yours; I don't know anything about how most things are made, so the small cursive script on the bolster of your knife seems a totally amazing engineering marvel to me!! :thumbup:

Thanks, Gary! It certainly is unusual for a bolster stamp. One of the things that make it so charming.


Today, we had the official opening of a new Metro Park just 2 miles from my condo. I hiked a few trails and got some nature education from one of our local Naturalists. To celebrate I carried a recent acquisition.

The knife.

Thanks Dean, it is so long since I did a kitchen table sweep that many items have been and gone (gifted)! :D A long session really is overdue! :o Sounds like you had a great day today :thumbup:
 
My first and only GEC is acrylic, and I've found I love the material quite a bit. It just...works I guess. Plus it draws attention and compliments.

Very nice all!!

Thanks for the comments Gary and Erik.

That Cattaraugus Barlow is a beauty Dean.

Today I went with a nice old Wilbert Cutlery Co. Hawkbill and a Vic Soldier.

Out in the swamp again today. I've got a Pine Marten family living in a debris pile just off the wetlands. I almost always see or hear them. Brought the Featherweight along:
