It's been a long and unusually cold winter this year, unlike the past 3. So global warming is not yet convincing me
Thick snow these past days, North wind giving a chill factor from Mars
Sunny it may be but last night down to -22c again..
So in defiance I choose a Green Knife as spring is underway in kinder climes, this with a fantastic present from Jolipapa

.......... -22ºC
With the recent 'Beast from the East' weather, we had winds whipping around the house that brought us -10ºC at worst. What really showed up, was the insulation in our loft conversion couldn't hold the heat........so what is/was the warmest room for most the day in our house.......wasn't - it was freakin' cold
Our statutory (current) levels of insulation are pretty poor in comparison to other countries, let alone our recent past recommended levels.......big gas bill coming!Two knives of character, Will
Just been opening the post...

I better pay closer attention. I'm carrying my stainless 15 in Tortoise Shell today because GEC's acrylics don't get enough love. I'm a day late and a dollar short. Glad to see a fellow tortoise lover.

Good-looking knife!
I usually shy away from acrylic handles and I don’t know why, as they are very nice looking and plenty tough. The torties are my favorite. Hard to photograph though, as they are so reflective.

Acrylics seem to have a bad rep for some reason but they wear well. You're right about being hard to photograph even in overcast even lighting the reflections are there.Good-looking knife!

My favorite pic of your Unity Lambsfoot so far, I think. And the promise of spring in your pic of the green 66 definitely brings cheer, Jack!...Wet and miserable here today, thought these two might cheer things up a bit

Congrats on finding ones you can commit to, Jason & Gary!...
I'm afflicted with the same ailment!
You're a natural-born salesman, Dave!...
5K Qs Thanks. I'm thinking this pair would work for teaching.
...
That way if the heating goes out ya could just keep on motoring on. Ya'd stay nice and toasty.
The real appeal of that one is that the fur on the front is a dead ringer for our two little poodles! 
It's one of several beauties you have, Alan!
What makes this your favorite??Legendary Barlow, Ted!I think I'm goin' with the 2009 Stag Queen/Schatt Morgan/BFC Wharncliffe Barlow, always one of my favorite knives, BFC or otherwise.
Congrats, Ron; that set-up looks splendid! Big bolster on that one!...
Totin this new one today. It’s a 2nd, but so far so good. It’s an Oakedge Knives made for them by A. Wright’s. It’s a Lambsfoot with a carbon blade. Made, I believe, on Wright’s Barlow pattern. The slip is also from Oakedge.
Fabulous pair, Stuart; I'm really smitten by the sawcut bone on your Queen Barlow!... I am carrying the one without the paper tab on the main (apologies for recycled photo). I am also carrying my Sabre pruner (or hawkbill), as my wife has asked for some cut branches from the forsythia flowering in our backyard to brighten up our living room.

Captivating congress, @Northwestcut !!My carry for the day.
Congrats on the house-hunting success, Dylan!Been rather busy lately with the house hunt and such but our persistence has paid off! I've mostly skimmed this thread for the last few days so if I missed a comment or two, please accept my apologies.
Carrying a bit of horn today.
"A bit of horn", is it? Your horn is as thrilling as the entry of the horns at the start of "The Lone Ranger" part of the "William Tell Overture"!! (Are you old enough to know what I'm talking about?? 
)Belated birthday wishes, Buzz; that Premium Scout is an awesome gift!Something different today.
Thanks for the marlin mention, Dean....Thanks, Gary! I like the look of that Marlin spike!
This morning I carried this TC sheepfoot Barlow
and this afternoon an ebony Huckleberry Boy's Knife.
Love the colors on your TC, and love almost everything about that ebony end-capped sheepsfoot Huckleberry! Beguiling Böker Barlow, Steve!
Jeff, you'll have to take this with a grain of salt since I seem to be crazy about almost every sowbelly stockman I see, but that one is sensational!That green bone is gorgeous! Today I grabbed my Rigid popcorn stag sowbelly.
Terrific Tortoise,
Ratbert
! Striking knife to start, and Glenn made it even better!I had glennbad put ebony scales and rat tail bolsters on a GEC 47. The shield is like what is on some on knives of this pattern that were found on the steamship Arabia wreck. ...
We seem to hear that remark often from a lot of Churchill owners, and it's with good reason!
Back to the Churchill.
Love the flora-and-fauna covers on your Lambsfoot choices today, Jack: ebony-and-stag!...
Treating myself to a brace of Lambsfoot knives today

I hope you get some southerly breezes soon! Speechless!!!
My peanut-like knife this week is a Taylor-Schrade Mighty Mite 18OT:
My stag/horn category this week is filled by a Colt stag muskrat:
My free-choice knife for the week is a knife my daughter got for me in Toledo, Spain:

Some say that variety is the spice of life Gary! That's a sweetheart you have there, certainly worth of a little attention now and again.Just when I get congratulated for being committed I find myself outside with another!
Nice choices, Gary!
Thank you, GT. I had you in mind with those spear mains. With the aluminum frames, even the two blade knives are relatively light in hand and pocket. (SIDE NOTE: The slightly older version with the paper tab does not have the patent numbers on the mark side tang as does the younger one, rather it has a PENDING stamp on the pile side.)Fabulous pair, Stuart; I'm really smitten by the sawcut bone on your Queen Barlow!
That muskrat is my kind of knife with two long sleek mains. The beautiful bolsters are a bonus, to boot.
