I don't believe I've ever seen any Winterbottom bone that rich and colorful. Astounding Stuart.

Thanks, Dwight. Just trying to keep up to neighborhood standards (which is like a duck swimming with cleats).

Did that big handsome tuba player sweep the awards? Nice knife by the way.

[/QUOTE]Thanks. No awards for him tonight, but the music was enjoyable.

@Buzzbait & Pt-Luso , who could take exception to your plans?

Nobody, thanks Mr. Gary...

 

[Jack Black]

I hope the wonderful knives you selected don't reflect a staggy and ancient mood, Jack!

Not at all GT!

The Twelve knives of Xmas (Ok 13 but who’s keeping count?)

Cool pic Ted

I'd stay with the first one for the whole day!

Thanks Stuart

Jack that is a mesmerizing trio. Ashley's dad created a masterpiece didn't he. But truly they are all spectacular.

Thank you Dwight, Michael is a very experienced cutler, he did his apprenticeship under his own father at Joseph Elliott's

In a strange coincidence of my rotation schedule, my International Knife this week is a MAM sheepsfoot and my Big Knife is a MAM Iberica liner lock!

You have very good taste, beautiful Portuguese knives...

Tremendous, just tremendous! Just what WB should be all about Mind you, GEC's Cougar Claw has some similarities too.

Thanks, Will

Lovely Old Friend Rachel

Here's my Old Friend today, also by Boker, generously gifted to me by @paulhilborn (full details in the Old Friends Friday thread)

Pairing it with this year's ebony Guardian's knife

This is a boring shot, but standing under the drip line off the eaves made it a rush job.
I just got this Pal Blade Co TL29 the other day. WW2 production, I am presuming, due to the liners and bolsters being steel. Some sharpening blade loss, but not bad, but the rust was disappointing. Thanks to several soaks in penetrating oil, a lot of the snap has come back. At least opening snap is great. My first ever Pal knife~ lovely bone.View attachment 1037436View attachment 1037435

these two today and all week. Otnat, and a small Shadley wharnie made with a light pull for me by the amazing and super nice Gene Shadley. both excellent knives. apologies for misplaced focus in pic.

Great pair, and impressive chunk of petrified wood!

Sitting out back trying out my new toy. Oileless turkey fryer. Had some last week and it was amazing. A guy I work with gave me one he wasn't using. Still in the box! The shuffler accompanying me and a glass of merlot.

How does it fry with no oil???

These 2 today : Silver Stag with Elk covers and D2 Steel and my $5 Straight Line Russell that was requested by Amir Fleschwund . I rescued it 4 years ago and was basically the one that really got me into collecting Barlows and Northfields . Will be looking for one in better shape at the Janesville , Wis. Blade Show in March .



Harry

Thanks for the looksee! Hope to join you at the March show, Harry.

Been carrying this Boker at work this week so I decided to keep it in my pocket tonight.

Hey! I have those same LLBean moccasin slippers! On my 2nd pair.

Odd right ??? I noticed the guitar picks before the knives!

Nice Knives (as usual).

Luck? Skill? Diligence&persistance?
Probably all, but you sure are good at ferreting out some remarkable gems!

Ha!
Bare fingers mostly, but when I need a flat pick, I love those Dunlop Big Stubbys. And THAT is what a “watch pocket” is for!
Thanks for the kind words!
