Interesting story, Jack. I wonder if 90 years or so is the piano manufacturer's recommended interval between tunings!

Judging from the racket that piano usually makes, I doubt it my friend!

I missed National Knife Day.

It's a rainy day in Texas. I'm using the storm as an excuse to stay in, hang out on the porch, putter around the house, take pictures of knives, etc.

Peregrin , Gary, those AG Russell Pinched Peanuts are in my opinion one of the best things to come out of his arsenal. Very nice.

I agree, Bob. I've been looking at them forever and finally took the plunge. I haven't spent much time with it but my initial reaction is very, very positive.

Great pair! Love the Pembertons, small knives are fun.

My Unicorn Ivory Acrylic #25 Little Barlow has proved itself a solid little worker. I've been carrying and using it with great satisfaction. It's such an easy to carry and practical knife. The Unicorn Ivory Acrylic has also surprised me a couple times, being that I've dropped it on both hard wood and asphalt without any cracking or chipping.

It makes for a nice fruit slicer to prep strawberries for dehydration:

It does well in food prep on smaller vegetables like peppers, carrots, cherry tomatoes, and even cucumber. It cuts through hard boilies like butter:

And it takes a very handsome patina contrasted against the creamy white scales:

Thanks, guys. I think we'll be alright in Austin, but I'm concerned for folks to the south. I heard the storm's expected to stall out and dump rain until the middle of next week.

Vintage day 5

New to me Hibbard Spencer Bartlett and Co "peanut". Also first experience with what I think is celluloid - to me it blows away acrylic!

The OVB stamp is their Our Very Best brand. I have no idea on the date or actual maker.

That's really beautiful and different JP! I agree about the unique qualities of a well preserved cel knife.

You probably already know this but it's worth repeating... keep it far away from the rest of your collection. You never know when it may break down and ruin itself and other knives.

I feel the same way about celluloid knives.... despite the warnings about them being ticking timebombs....
I can't stop buying them....
This was my EDC for a few months.... now its only for specials occasions....

’til later….

"Everlasting Sharp" means…. never having a dull moment.
