I really like the look of that lighter colored bone. Mine is much darker.


Does anyone know who made this knife? I know almost nothing about Winchester’s. Did Queen make these?

A twofer Tuesday carry pair. Why tote a single oddity, when you can carry two? The first is a Sheldon patent friction folder (1920-1940?) by Wade & Butcher Ltd. (Sheffield). I learned from a comment by Jack Black in another thread that the knife was designed for one-hand opening to ease use by workmen. Mine doesn't open that easily; it's smooth, but tight.

Its carry mate today is unique, at least to me, by age and by pattern. It is a 3 1/2" Balloon Jack imported from Solingen by J.S. Holler & Co. (NYC, NY) and sold through Adolph Baich (San Francisco), both firms' names stamped on the tangs. Although Baich was in business from 1883 to 1934, Holler was in business only from 1867 to 1906.

A few more... It is a true splitback whittler with no blade rub.

Nice knives, folks! Enjoy the day!
With me today.

Choice choices, Jack! I don't think I could handle the sheer joy of a double lambsfoot day! I do have my Black Jack in my pocket today, and my Union Jack is in my backpack just in case vacation circumstances require it.

Very interesting pair Stuart, and your Sheldon Knife is unusual, even for an unusual pattern. I wonder when it was made

Nice knives, folks! Enjoy the day!
With me today.

Two beauties Gary

Ok, we’ve seen lots of incredible photo props here. But I am just failing to find any context of a carburetor sitting on top of some dress shoes. I mean, it’s perfectly ok, just a bit, well, unusual! Lol. Am I missing something here?

Maybe it's an inside joke. Nice composition, though, don't ya think?

That is one of two Lectron 34mm carbs that will be going on my 1973 Norton Commando. I have been waiting for quite a while for them to arrive. I wanted to take a quick picture to send to a friend, but I wasn’t about to put those brand new carbs onto the cement sidewalk.

Ok, I get that. And pretty cool that you used both the shoes and the carb to make sure the knife didn’t touch the ground.

Same carry of course, but the granddaddy Barlow has had some more work done.

No before picture, but I considerably lowered the kick on the pen blade.
The pen blade sat proud with an exposed tip, and I'm actually happy about that because I got to do something I've never had to do before.
It was actually easy, just a couple minutes with a little file and it was good to go.

I don't know how I didn't notice it before though, with as high as the clip sits it should've been easier to open.
Now I can just about pinch it and it's not hard to open now.

Love how that one ages Dean

Thank you, Paul! That was my first ever TC I bought and it became a user right off. It is still a joy to carry and use.

Stuart, I look forward to your knives and information. It's like a knife class almost every day!

Nice knives, folks! Enjoy the day!
With me today.

Those two make me smile, Gary. I imagine it is a joy to carry them!

Looking good Dean

Thank you, Jack!
