... I also have my Ebony Lambsfoot which is definitely one of my favorites....
The Guardians appear to be attempting a coup d'etat!!
Lovely lambsfeet!!! 
Splendid, Mark!!
I could easily become a sowbelly addict, I think. 
I certainly get a kick from your old Barlow kick, Wayne!!Still on an old barlow kick - Belknap Hdw Blue Grass today...
I'm a sucker for knives with an anchor "shield", and have had my eye on a set of three Cannon knives for a while. How do you like the one you posted, @MBeckett ??
Tremendous trio, Stuart!I don't want to leave my barlow brothers (and sisters) hanging today, so I'll be rotating in carrying one of these tres amigos throughout the day. They were produced by Queen in 1972 to celebrate both the sesquicentennial of Queen City Cutlery's incorporation in 1922 (the year Schatt & Morgan fired 5 supervisors who formed QCC) with a "1922 Q 1972" tang stamp and the Drake oil well in Titusville, PA. The Drake well was drilled by Edwin Drake in 1859 on the banks of Oil Creek (!!) south of Titusville and was the first commercially successful oil well in the US.

I really like the shape of those Queen Barlows, especially the rounded bolster, and I'll always prefer a 2-blade model over a single blade.I'm smiling so hard it hurts.

Harry, whatever the day, your two Tews are great news!!Very busy day around here today and have to use some old photos of what I am carrying today . It is a Two TEWs Friday today .......I really like these 2 old guys . I have come to the conclusion that the Sheepsfoot or a Lambfoot blade is MY most usable blade . I will use which ever one I pull out first .
Harry
Thanks, Gary.
Great photo of your Cadet, GT.
...
Thanks for your generous compliment, Dean.Around the house with this handy TC Barlow, 14 version.
That spearpoint #14 TC Barlow is a sweetheart! Egads, Gev!!!intimations
(I don't think I've ever actually said that before, but your photo seems to call for a unique response!
)Thanks, Jack....
Thank you my friend, most definitely, but it looks as you are fully equipped for today
Glad to see your Beaver is keeping busy,

! Sorry to hear you lost your old boy, Jeff.Tough day. Lost my old Boston Terrier today.
Pretty sure it was congestive heart failure. I spent the day with him sitting on the kitchen floor by his doggie bed.
...
Didn't we have such a thread a while back? I can't remember TBH!
...
I don't think either of these threads was a contest, per se, but I think they're fascinating reading just because folks have such different perceptions of the same knives (and there are certainly lots of pics missing, as Rachel pointed out):There probably was a thread like that but if so, all those wonderfully ugly pics are lost to the "Great Photobucket Purge of '17"

I remember going through the first thread listed and counting how many "ugliest" votes various patterns received, and deciding that I needed to start a thread in defense of the French Kate. I still have the "talking points" I intended to address, but have never actually started the thread!
Just re handling a boning knife for my dentist.
...
Thanks, can I vote for both?
...
The Diamond Jack was with me today.
No, it's definitely not just you, Stuart!
I've always been rather dentalphobic, and when I read FBC's post, I cringed and thought, "Who'd go there??? "FBC, thanks for the curvy comment. The Marbles sowbelly has an unusual blade combo: virtually identical blades at each end that I'd call drop points, and a spey with a curved spine:
Good-looking Diamond Jack; it reminds me a little of a Case slimline trapper, which I've discovered I like a lot!
These two are my Cutlery Companions for the weekend.
As is always the case, Ron and Harry, you're each carrying a praiseworthy pair!Will be carrying these today

Thank you, Charlie! I'm so happy to have a knife from the "Golden Age" of Sheffield pocket knives!

Now my other guy is grieving. And if anybody doesn’t think dogs can’t grieve...

Had my old Ulster readio electrician jack and the Kershaw in my pocket, but never pulled them out once except for this snapshot.

More then I could put into words .
My Simeese Cat Buster passed away a year ago December at the age of 16 years old . He was my little buddy and missed dearly .
Time will heal Jeff and just remember the good times that will warm your heart and know like Buster they are in a good place now smiling down at us .

My research shows that tang stamp to be from 1850 or earlier, Rachel!
Definitely qualifies as a golden-ager! Glad you like it!!
