Ahh, I'm drooling over the keyboard again this morning (my wife thinks I'm a looney LOL). Alan @AShearer and FBC @flatblackcapo, I especially like your offerings, and what a different and unique trio TedT. Erdelyi . I am hoping that Mr. Cover makes it to our Badgerland show next year.
Heading out with my buffalo horn jack again today.

Nice Ablett Barlow Donn
Wright's really seem to be on top of their game with their horn at the moment. Used to be it was just in black, but they have some nice reddish stuff lately, as well as the golden oxhorn and their 'special buffalo', which has a lot of character. I think the last two are still 'special order' though
Cheers; it's my only Ablett so it never leaves the house. I recall you saying something about the special order scales, I think it was in your very interesting thread detailing your visit to their factory but I must say it never occurred to me to enquire. Maybe next time I think
...
Cheers, Padruig. I do like brass bolsters, they develop a very mild patina over time. They still seem to be very popular with the few Sheffield cutlers remaining. Saying that I was thinking just the other day that I think some of the Sheffield knives would suit some really nice nickel or iron bolsters.
Most of the remaining firms use nickel silver, but because it's the cheap stuff (with a high brass content), it can look like brass. That's penny-pinching Yorkshiremen for you! 
), that I am excited about.
Nice picture and nice knives Joey . I was wondering where you have been . I can see now that you have been busy . Never have built a car , but I have built a number of concrete pumps from the floor up . I hope that you keep us up-dated on your progress. Have fun my friend .Moore maker (a very underrated knife here imho) in 1095 and city knife today. Got my master cylinder mount made up and it fits behind the dash! Happy about that. Back to running tubing now.
Beautiful picture Gevo even though it is missing your huge tomato . We tried the Mortgage Lifters one year and were happy with them , but have not seen any more of their plants for sale lately . That is quite a story on how they got their name too .Out of the Garden (series)
I woke up to the Tomato worms and my only, just ripe, Mortgage Reduction (large tomato magnificence ) destroyed by some large animal. Oh the pain of the gardener
I guess since my back ( think dagger jab in spine...is life over? ) is on the mend ( knock on wood..praise ice and chiropractor(s) )....it's a wash
Today's meager harvest but harvested with joy and a peaceful mind
Yes...I stand corrected, my friend. Mortgage Lifter. It's my first time with them. The plant only produced one tomato so far...and it was beautiful. I was so looking forward to tasting it ! Now that you say that, maybe I should at least harvest some seeds. I will look up the name provenance
I really like that old Schrade Harry.These today :
Harry
Alan, Thank you for the kind comment. I haven't had the cattle knife long but it hasn't left my pocket yet, it really works for me on many levels.
Probably a good idea for life raft work.
Same here Alan. I have a piece incoming that I'll be showing soon, quite possibly on the Guardians page (hint hint
These today :
Thanks for the compliment Donn
Thank you my friend !Great pic Gev
Sufferin' Succotash, Dee!! My first thought was, "That's a couple of snazzy snakewoods there!"
