This sad little Kent came in the other day a little beat up, rusty, and had paint (I think) all over it.

I tried to show it a little love to knock off the grime, but tried to preserve the character as well. Good cleaning,, stone time, and a healthy dose of 3N1. Now it's hanging out with me today at the office.

That's one I never get tired of seeing, Jack, but then it is a Lambsfoot! :):thumbup:


Today's knives: First is an electrician I got from Mark on the Exchange. I've been hunting one for awhile and this one fits the bill - a Schrade Walden in Cocobolo.



Second, what has become a daily carry - my Red jigged bone spearpoint TC Barlow. Don't know how it got in this tree!

 
Ron and Gev Your comments re always much appreciated :thumbup:

I find it a superb carry Ron, flawless quality and the right sort of size for me. In addition, I'm a zealot for decent stainless and these are:cool:

The handles are very satisfying , a kind of Winterbottom Bone that promises much in the ageing Dept. too:D

Regards, Will

Man, I keep forgetting how scary sharp these old thin carbon blades can get. Wow!

Can anyone attach a date to this guy?

They do make great little knives - that's a remarkable restoration job.

I'd be interested in a general production date as well.

Have some boxes to cut up later so I threw the 1912 Union Knifeworks Moose with the broken blade reworked into a box cutter blade. This was made back in the day when a good blade was an expensive commodity and you just didn't throw it away because it broke a blade, that's why you bought a knife with two blades ;) .

Iron bolster, robust construction, steel back springs, crisp grinds and gorgeous swedges/swages , they don't make 'em like this anymore. Even after over 100 years this knife walks and talks like a brand new Tony Bose folder, that says a lot for a knife this old. I get asked all the time why I would use a knife over a century old like I do for cutting up boxes? Well because that's what it was made for... cuttin' :) , so I cut with it. Here it is again for your enjoyment and certainly mine. :)

I'll carry and use this knife till I can't physically do it anymore. It would be a sin to let it sit on a shelf, especially when it cuts so well. :)
 
Nice knives all!

Thanks for the comments Dean and Jack.

Great knives Drew and terrific Barlow Atiger.

One knife today.

Amen.

Looks like a great knife. I like the shape of the clip blade and I bet the box cutter blade does a great job. :thumbup:
