Ah... I was temporarily in awe of your book collection! It’s even more impressive than your collection of lambsfeet.;)

Nice Barbour! When I was in Edinburgh, between the two Armstrongs, I had my choice between several, and was able to get one for, how do you Brits say it... a pittance. Several tweed caps and a heavy wool sweater as well.

It is a Chinese-made Robert Klaas "Fourmaster." It is a a copy of one of their German-made designs, the German one had high carbon blades, while the Chinese one uses stainless. They are no longer being produced, but both types can be found on Ebay. The Chinese ones are more rediliy available. They used to sell for around $15, but the price is getting up to $30 now.

I really enjoy the shape of the knife, and the blade selection. The blades are very thin and sharp. I always carry one, no matter what other knives I have on me. It is one knife I have bought backups of. I have needed them, too! Having lost one and snapped the tip off another.

Thanks my friend, nothing involving any skill! :D I have a LOT of books, and half my walls are lined with bookcases. I had two more delivered this week, tall ones, with glass doors, so I needed to fix the shelves in place, and fix them to the walls with brackets. I also had a large chest delivered, which I'm going to use for some of my camping stuff. Mainly I have just been humping stuff around the house! o_O :D

Thanks! That's pork loin on the left, actually. :)

It's got a decent smoke ring, a little dry if you order it cut lean...
Much like eating at a deli in New York, part of the fun of going out for BBQ around here is the arguments about what place is best. We have very strong opinions on the subject. :D

I stand corrected! :thumbsup:
I do miss Austin BBQ. Over here in Houston there are only a couple of places that stack up. So I usually just do it myself.

I love my Barbour (Bedale). My wife tried to get me to buy one for years but I always shrugged it off...too expensive, says I. I finally relented and now I see why they are so popular. I could live in this thing! Still need to get one of the liners for colder weather.

Ratbert, I can only do that in a partial sense . . . as I reground the spear into a clip. It now looks like this.

Nice work and still a beauty! I am in awe of you guys who are willing to attempt something like this. I am waaaaay too much of a coward!
 
There are lots of levels of skill and patience. I only tried it because I have a belt sander, which makes it relatively easy. Some on here do it with files, which I would NEVER attempt.

Thank you so much for the information and open shot !! 3 and 3/4th is a sweet spot. It really does have a great selection of blades and the shape of the knife is very pleasing to my eye, as well. I really like the pattern indeed. Utility wise, I see why you always carry one

Chui Chui That is a beautiful Bear Claw Paul! Up top is my Buck 110. I believe the Bear Claw is the Frost Cutlery version of the 110, although I am not sure of its size. The Buck is made in the USA, but I believe the Frost Bear Claw is made overseas; probably Pakistan. Still a great looking knife.

I am amazed at how reasonably priced the Buck 110’s are considering how well made they are. They are usually less than $50, and I have seen them for as low as $28. It really is the best bargain in my collection.
