Thanks for reminding me of the terminology for that style of celluloid, KAW. :)
Chinese Imperials don't show up here very often, but posting one isn't a matter of courage as much as it is a matter of taste (or lack thereof). :rolleyes:


:thumbsup::thumbsup:


Totally agree, MBeckett! :thumbsup::cool: I really like the few USA Imperials I have, but I also really enjoy my Chinese Imperials; the ones I've acquired are very solid knives! :thumbsup::)


That's some resplendent red you're rockin', Ratbert!! :thumbsup::cool::cool:


For my money, in terms of both form and function, it's tough to beat a black Pioneer!! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:




Glad I could entertain you guys and your active imaginations!! :D During the week, I'm usually carrying a dozen knives, so 7 sodbusters is light duty! :rolleyes: I have one of those elasticized belts that I cinch up pretty tight to keep my pants close to where they ought to be. :thumbsup: (I'll admit that I bought some suspenders a few weeks ago, and they do a fantastic job of keeping my pants up, but I'm not sure I like the look. ;))


That's a steal at twice the price, lambertiana; congrats on a fine knife and fabulous bargain! :thumbsup::cool::cool::thumbsup:


Tom, thanks for Explaining In General what EIG is/was. :thumbsup::)
Thanks for asking about the mini trapper. I liked carrying that MUCH more than a full sized trapper, but I'm still not used to a knife with both blades about the same size. But it's probably just a matter of time before I appreciate the pros of that set-up. I originally didn't like the muskrat pattern at all, but after I used one for several days, I decided the pattern had plenty going for it.



Cool Kevlar covers!! :thumbsup::cool::cool: (At this time of day, though, when I'm getting quite hungry, the covers remind me of waffles. :rolleyes:)


That's a dandy, Drew! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:


:cool::thumbsup::D Anticipation has its charms!


Thanks, Tom! Another fine pairing, and I'm glad you're liking the sodbuster! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:


Thanks, Jack; I'd never heard of Madness, nor "Baggy Trousers" - quite a madcap video!! :eek::D Nice pair of knives you selected to help you with your fruit harvest. :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup: I suspect if I had ready access to that blackberry crumble, my trousers wouldn't be baggy for long!! :p


Thanks for the story of naming Linus, Dylan. :thumbsup::) As a kid, I always admired Linus's obvious competence (and normality). ;) That pair of knives you have today is also very admirable! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:


Truth in advertising for that stag Barlow, Stuart - it definitely does excel!! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


Congrats on your new sheepfoot TC Barlow, Harry! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup: Great group shot: I like the red one, and the crimson one, and the scarlet one, and the cardinal one, and the cherry one! :D:thumbsup:

Donn I love the patina on that Arthur Wright and with it sitting on that bucket of apples makes for a great picture. :thumbsup::cool:
Today I have my 2015 BF knife with me. I sure wish Canal Street was still in business.:(

Nice apples and Ettrick pic Donn :thumbsup: I've just picked some myself, blackberries too :) The apples are for eating, the blackberries went in a crumble ;) Thought I'd earned it after a few hours ripping out Japanese Knotwood :rolleyes: These two helped me out, Unity Lambsfoot and a CK Pruner :thumbsup:

Thanks gents. And there some cracking knives you've all posted there. Especially the BF 2015 knife Redden :thumbsup:
The apples are only about a third of the crop off my mum's apple tree. Unfortunately there actually really bitter so they end up in crumbles :) which I hope will look as delicious as Jack's blackberry crumbles looks :thumbsup:.
Incidently Jack I've been eating ripe blackberries for about 4 weeks now. And I'm eating elderberries now as well; far to early! A few farmers I've spoken to over the past few weeks say harvest has been about 3 weeks early as well. I've seen rowan fruiting early and we've got hawthorn and holly loaded with berries already. According to old farming wisdom all this early crop indicates a VERY VERY severe winter, usually from about the end of December/early January....

What a wonderful knife from Sunfish Forge. Is it W-2? I know Don uses it a lot. That would probably never leave my pocket, except to use.:thumbsup::thumbsup:
Click to expand...

As a matter of fact it does. Its special to note that Don forged the W-2 down to size (from round stock) from a 'legendary' batch (tons) of W-2 that Don bought years ago, and that steel has gone through the hands of many-a-smith.

Man those Talons are nice I've never got my hands on one of those but I need to. The closest I've ever come is a 47 Viper.

That 2015 BF knife is a beauty, Randy. :thumbsup: I agree about Canal Street. The only one I have that's made by them is this Ka-Bar Coppersmith Barlow. Wish I could buy more of their knives! This one has a tang that actually has a Canal Street stamp on it...all the others I've seen have had the Ka-Bar stamps.

It's been a light but steady rain all day. I thought my patina and the rain drops played nicely together.

I think it's a pretty old video GT, probably filmed on a budget of ten shillings and sixpence! :D

Thanks Donn, there are two apple tress at the back of my house. They actually sit in my neighbour's garden, but he's crazy (only eats tinned fruit and veg), and doesn't pick them. They produce so many good eating apples, that I am constantly trying to get people to come and pick them, otherwise they just rot all over my garden, as well as his :rolleyes: Yes, the harvest has definitely come early this year, I even saw the first conkers on my street some weeks ago, never seen them that early before! :eek I'll make sure to stock up on warm clothes my friend :thumbsup:
