A excellent trio for a hike, my friend. I caught the pics of your hike in the Guardian's thread and I have to say that you have some beautiful country to hike in.

Haven’t posted in a while because life’s been a bit busy, but this #14 has been in my pocket for at least a week!

In the background is one of the boats from the Volvo Ocean Race stretching it’s legs just outside Cardiff bay during the Cardiff stop. I believe they departed yesterday to continue the race.

Here’s a pic of some other stuff from gum ball machines. Remember when you could get a lighter, gambling dice and knife from the machine for a quarter.

This is honestly the first time I ever used a can opener on a knife.

Neighborly - My neighbor was out front and asked me if I wanted anything from HEB. I told her a candy bar. She is so sweet. I decided to sweeten the deal from the garden and get a photograph of today's carry in the process ;) Note: Bourndain's bread :)

Thanks Gev. I'm really enjoying the lanny's in this smaller form. The necklace brings me spiritual strength as it is a cherished gift from a wonderful group of Suspects after my son passed. Its inscribed with his name and I had it blessed when my wife and I converted to Catholicism. It's a symbol to me of the power of love and the spirit of life. :)

That is amazing : ) Best thing I have read in a good long while.
 
Picked this up a couple of days ago from a second hand tool vendor. In fact I saw this a few weeks ago and wasn't going to buy what I thought was a pretty standard rosewood handled, sheep foot with an odd shaped blade. But now, having re-profiled the blade and polished the handle to reveal what I think is either green horn or possibly stained bone, I'm really glad I did. Interestingly one side of the tang is marked Joseph Allen & Sons, Sheffield and the other GPO 1960. From the research I've done it appears the company made knives for the GPO since the 1930s when they also owned the telephone services in Britain as well as the postal service. The majority of these knives were used for stripping cable but few of the examples shown are of this quality and none of this particular pattern which I think would have started life with a larger sheep foot blade which, I suppose, would have done the job. Anyway, I'm very glad I went back for this one, the blade has a lovely patina and I love the green scales. :):thumbsup:

JohnDF JohnDF is DF in your nickname your initials? Just curious because my initials are JDF.

This nice little ebony long pull tascosa has joined my customized TC for pocket time. Still need to reprofile the edge. Pictured on my USAF basic training book with my laundry marking kit from 43 years ago …
