it needed a cleaning, hit it will a scotch bright pad, then with a fine steel wool. I may hit it with some flitz too. It turned out pretty good. I did the same thing with my #77 and it looked almost new. Always fun to "start from fresh." Im thinking about doing a forced vinegar patina
High 30's and sunny, a nice November day
Good stag looks fabulous whether in small doses like on Harry's knives or in huge servings like Falling_rain's!!

Hope you are enjoying the holiday weekend!

Carrying my Guardians Lambsfoot today (again 
), shown here next to the beautiful 17th century packhorse bridge over the River Wharfe at Ilkley. Have a relaxing Sunday folks 
Looks like just the right knife for a walk in Yorkshire. I envy you folks that have all that history around you. Enjoy the day, Jack!Thanks a lot GT, it was a cold, bright day here, had a nice walk, with lots of history along the way (including Anglo Saxon crosses, Roman altars, the remains of a Roman fort, a 17th century Manor House, and a medieval church)
There will never be an equal to that old case red bone!I’m carrying these today! Hope all is well with y’all today!

Thanks a lot my friend My (middle) back was aching a little yesterday, but just from lack of recent use I think! 
Very cool photo, A.L. !!
That's a notable pair, Rob!Stuck at work today, have these along and a 3rd non traditional folder.
I've gushed over your Lloyd shadow stag before, but I'm having trouble tearing my eyes off the Blue Grass Barlow! I have a sawcut delrin clip main version that I really enjoy, but yours is a step up from mine! Yowza, that is quite a showpiece, Stuart!!@black mamba ...
Some Schrade stag for Saturday, this Schrade model 275 clasp knife (5 1/2" closed) was part of a NKCA Founders Museum 1980 commemorative set of four knives by Case, Fightn' Rooster, Kissing Crane, and Schrade. There were 2,600 sets made; this knife is from set no. 1016. As I understand the story, many (most?) sets were broken up to sell the individual knives, particularly after collectors realized that the Case appaloosa bone sunfish was the only smooth bone sunfish that Case had ever made and it skyrocketed in value. Anywho, I'm totin' this one and anticipate a lot of chatter when I pull it out at the bar with my buddies later today. (The bar staff have gotten used to my regular knife discussions/displays with my friends and don't recoil as they used to do.)

I'll bet it will definitely elicit a lot of chatter from your in-person knife buddies! I love The Porch, but I'll bet an occasional face-to-face knife "show-and-tell" with enthusiasts at a bar is really enjoyable, too!! Thank you, everyone, for the nice words on my retirement. After such a good day yesterday, I woke up late (8:15) and came downstairs to find that our old Maltese couldn't hold it and had peed on the dining room carpet! At 62, I can relate.
...
What worries me most about retirement is that I haven't used an alarm clock for decades; no matter when I go to bed, and no matter what I have planned for the next day, I ALWAYS wake up at 4:30! 
Compelling Camillus, Steve!Carrying this old Camillus 70 today
Just seems so right that you've pulled out the Texas Jack, Ryan!
That bocote Maserin Plow looks fantastic on your rocks, Tom; impressive pair of knives!!...
A rare 2 folder day for me, I have only had this sod buster (The Plow from CollectorKnives) for a day but am really liking it so far.
Phenomenal covers on those two, Ron; talk of the town!!These two for me today. Hope y'all have a good day!
Dapper duo, Frank!!For the last several weeks I've been alternating between these two.
Buck Creek half congress in stainless and stag:
Gerber Silver Knight in Gingami 1 stainless treated to 58-59HRC, and resin impregnated wood.
The Gerber is much the better knife, but the Buck Creek is still fun to carry.
(I hope you've got your bug under control now.)Peerless Pioneer, Prince of Productivity!!
Thanks for showing your knife in action, Heath! Sorry to hear that the knee isn't cooperating, Paul."Looking good, Paul!
Thanks Gary, knee isn't responding as it should so another follow up appt Monday. Still able to work with a bit of pain but I have this really cool John Wayne swagger
But I'm glad you're getting some entertainment mileage out of your enhanced John Wayne impressions! Thanks for the follow-up, tmd.
I may have to try a "start from fresh" on a knife over Christmas. Thanks, Falling_rain; I enjoy seeing all the superb knives y'all post!!
Sounds like a good day, Jack; fine shot of your Guardians Lambsfoot!...Thanks a lot GT, it was a cold, bright day here, had a nice walk, with lots of history along the way (including Anglo Saxon crosses, Roman altars, the remains of a Roman fort, a 17th century Manor House, and a medieval church)

Thanks Gary, we certainly have a lot of old stuff here!
I had the same reaction as Peregrin when I read what you saw. One of the most lasting impressions of my first trip to Europe (to Spain to visit my daughter 3 years ago) was how old "civilization" in Europe is, compared to "civilization" in North America! Black and Red Classics, Ron!!I’m carrying these today! Hope all is well with y’all today!
The Manor House is exquisite !! Great picture of it with the shadows ! Thanks for the treat of the additional pictures!! I can see you now..doing Standing Like a Tree qi gong on the grass of the remains of the Roman Fort. The feathers in you lambsfoot is smashing !LOL!
Here's a better pic of the bridge.
