Totin this user XX Red Saw Cut Ragg Bone Barlow today. Case definitely made some fine Barlows in the XX period of 1940 - 1964.
Ron That's a fine looking Barlow you have there.

I can certainly understand why that red old cross Pioneer is with you every day, Pt-Luso!...
Viva Solsona, Jeff!
Ebullient ebony, Ron! Great Wednesday choice!...
Stunning shot of fair Rosie, Dylan!Rosie was with me again today, as I expect she will be on a very regular basis.
Are you a violinist? My daughter played for many years; I think she usually used 4 strings. 
Another lovely lambsfoot shot, FBC!Thank you, sir. It is oxhorn, Gary. I haven't been traveling to Sheffield , unfortunately. I hope to one day though.
...
I'm losing track of your A. Wright & Son products. Is this a replacement for Rosie?For some reason, this knife reminded me of one of my favorite old "word plays": Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.

That pug must have some pointer blood in him!
Stellar study, r8shell!
I like the color of your tobacco bone half hawk!Classy pic of a classic knife, Steve!
I enjoy your frequent visits to your go-to vista, Greg!...
Nice shot of a notable knife, Randy!
Over-training is worrisome, but on the other hand, no pain, no gain!...
I think I might have 'over-trained' yesterday too GT!
...
I decided to stick with my ebony Lambsfoot again today, and mix in a Lick Creek Barlow
Your ebony lambsfoot is such a stalwart knife, Jack.
Is that a new unGoofy hat behind your pleasing Barlow?Pretty knife, Dee, but I can't figure out if the covers are wood, micarta, or acrylic!.jpg)
(I made an appointment at the ophthalmologist, but it's not until October. 
)Interesting, and quite atypical, pair today, Tom!A custom and a Northwoods today.
Lotta excellent blades, and a WHOLE lotta excellent food, Tom!...
On vacation this week. My carries, plus a CRKT Lil Guppy multi-tool (left out to keep Frank happy)

Had this very excellent 'que on the Red Arrow Hwy in Sawyer MI on Monday. It's owned by a former Chicago cop. Quite a character, partly deaf, and thinks everyone is as well, so shouts loudly enough to wake the dead

Highly recommended if you're in the area, but call first as his hours are variable. (Insider tip: portions are large, so
Today have my trusty 73, a very serviceable knife.

I hope you have a fabulous vacation! That's one long, lean whittler, Nature Boy!!
Resplendent red handles on that knife, ismaris!
Farmer goes to work with me many days.
Gev & Ron, those are some vivacious vintage Barlows!!Totin this user XX Red Saw Cut Ragg Bone Barlow today. Case definitely made some fine Barlows in the XX period of 1940 - 1964.
Kitchen knives for me this week are a Marbles pruner (took me a while to figure out how to chop fruit and vegetables with this one
)

Cool pic!
Very cool pic Dylan
Thanks guys! Thought I would try something different with my knife staging.

That is a lovely Case. The rich color, the patina, it all comes together just right. Very nice.
Stunning shot of fair Rosie, Dylan!
Thanks, GT! I consider myself more of a fiddler than a violinist, but I suppose technically they are one and the same. I am a bit rusty, though, so I thought I would bring it out to play a tune or two and it just so happened to make for a good picture staging.

Wonderful pairing, Harry. I always enjoy seeing your knives and your garden.
Though I'm not overly familiar with this pattern, that is a stunning piece of cutlery. Beautiful picture!
Just finished the work day with Rosie in my pocket. Since I am getting ready to do some work on my truck, I thought I would bring some backup. This Queen should do nicely.

Thanks guys, I do enjoy the knife quite a bit. GEC really did a nice job on them, and it would be nice to see them come around again.

Excellent pair, Chin!
Thanks Gary. The lower knife is one you might have seen earlier in the year - part of a quartet of A. Wright & Sons pocketknives I picked up in Sheffield.
Like you, I enjoy trying out different working knives from around the world, and I thought the Wrights seemed like some good, solid English examples to check out.
This slender, ox-horn Lambsfoot knife has quite a nice mark side.
It has some good, contrasting character to it.
But I really lucked out with the translucent pile side - it radiates a warm gold glow in the right light.
I mean, how could you look at that and not smile?

It was this one I was actually totin' today, though!
Thought I'd try the Carl 'Jackknife' style, flat 4-way driver and P-38 when not carrying a SAK. They're very light and do work well to augment those 'tools you have on you'.
