My Red Headed pal today

Today I’m carrying this old Western barlow that was re-crafted by Glennbad to include these beautiful jigged bone handles. The liners and springs were cleaned but the patina was left alone. The result is this unique and gorgeous old barlow to carry and use with pride.

That's a good looking knife!!
 
Feeling a little slow today, so I'm just strolling around with my Rough Rider split-back whittler while I put a sharp point on a piece of mulberry and enjoy the nice weather. This is another one that fits nicely in my Case horizontal belt sheath.

The roof is finished, now it's time to get some more of the mess cleaned up.


Luckily the weather is nice and I've got some tom Petty blasting.

Change of plans.

I was on my way back from lunch when I was hit in the face by a huge glint.
I look over to see a table of shiny new wrenches at the local flea market and had to stop ( he had a few hundred Craftsman ratcheting combos of the same size which must've been liquidated )
I instantly spied this Klein electrician when I got up there and it had to follow me home for $5.
After flushing it out, fixing the blunted tip, and sharpening it I just had to drop it in my pocket.
 
Lovely dark covers, blanco, tell us more about it.
Thanks black mamba black mamba . This is a laguiole made by Honorè Durand out if Laguiole, France. The covers are snakewood that didn't actually start out as dark as they often appear now. Here are some more pictures to show the covers a little better plus a shot of the spring. Very well-made knife with a pretty strong pull. This one is 12c27 steel. I I would like to add another one at some point but probably something smaller (this is 12cm closed).MVIMG_20180420_185623~01.jpg
