Ask the Doc if he’ll use your Swiss Army Knife for the surgery, then you’d have a really good story Take care and glad they figured it out

Emergency room. When I signed in, they said it would be a least two hours.

But they got me triaged and admitted in less that ten minutes. EKG, Xrays, CT Scans, blood work... yikes.View attachment 1257911

Should I be nervous?

I did not want to push the "LIKE " button but that is the only way to let you know that we are praying for you my friend .

Jeff, I'm praying that your medical team can get you patched up and on the road to recovery ASAP, and that you and your family can deal with the worry/stress.

Happy New Year folks! Wishing all my friends here a very happy 2020

Here, '2020' was a vile-looking 'alcopop' from the early 1990's. I never tasted it thankfully!

I had a lovely walk in the Yorkshire countryside yesterday, with a bundle of knives, which included the Hartshead Barlow I'm carrying again today

Charlie's @waynorth Lambsfoot is so beautiful I have only used it lightly so far, but I'm carrying it again today, to look at and admire For me, the memorable event of 2019 was Charlie's health hiccup. like many here, I worried so much about him, but he came back STRONG, and gave us this knife A great knife and a great man Wishing all our members good health and happiness in the coming year

2 Amazing carries for you today Jack . Thank you for the good wishes for 2020 and I wish the same for you my friend .

Thank you very kindly Jack and a very Happy New Year to you!!! Great images of your wonderful "New Year" slicers, both with Big Ben and in the wild! Btw, good thing you stayed away from the MD 20/20, otherwise known as "Mad Dog!"

Couple of tasty strawberries, JJ!

Thanks, JJ. That was an old photo of the cutting board, and I don't remember if the fruits and vegetables were chopped up for my breakfast oatmeal or for salad toppings.

Thank you very much Gary!!! Those chopped toppings looked detectable!

Wonderful New Yorker to ring in the New Year Gev; Happy New Year to you!

Extremely interesting fervent admirer of the BB series. Were these original Cell scales or a re-handle job? Very attractive indeed.

Thank you kindly Will!!! They are indeed the original "Goldstone" covers.

 

[JJ Cahill]

These two for today; a BB Winchester sowbelly and a tough old Imperial Navy jack.

Many thanks, Gary.Happy year 2020.

This knife is superb, Harry.

 

[Pt-Luso]

José, your old cross SAK and TC are a compelling couple of knives!

Thank you very much, Gary.

Happy New Year! You are right about that 44. I had one like yours. Ebony on that frame is flat out beautiful. I should get another and hang onto it. Who knows, my nails and joints might improve enough to manage it. What I have is not curable but I have been managing it for four years. I am fortunate that I can enjoy our hobby. Learning about and having traditional knives brings me a lot of joy and being on the porch is icing on the cake.
...

That's an admirable and inspiring attitude! I hope 2020 brings you many enjoyable experiences.

...
Happy New Year’s

Peanut and Presidential? Beauties!

These two wanted a bit of sunshine today.
...
Happy and safe New Year to everyone! Hopefully, 2020 is better than 2018 and 2019!

Same to you, Shawn!

Back to a couple of favorites today.
...

That 5OT is especially alluring!

The last knife I carry in 2019 is the latest knife I picked up. Another Schrade 897 Uncle Henry that’s wicked sharp. Handles are a bit more knobby than the last one I bought, but it’ll make a good user. Be safe tonight everyone. I’m just staying home watching some old Kirk Douglas movies tonight....
...

That's a classic; congrats!

I just finished cleaning up and sharpening this Schrade Cut Co pen knife and it hung out all day in my watch pocket.

Notable pen knife, Ernie!

Linus and I tore into this delightful doughnut.

You certainly are treating Linus well, Harvey!

Good eye Gary as it is an Eddie Bauer! Thank you most kindly and have a Happy New Year!!!
...

Thanks for the confirmation, JJ, and I hope 2020 is a fantastic year for you!

These two New Years totes with Goldstone covers, popular in the 1920s, to ring in the 2020s; both BB Winchesters, a coffin jack and a split-back whittler. Happy New Year everyone!!!
...

What a glitzy pair, JJ; I especially like the looks of that coffin jack with the knurled bolster!

Great photos of two remarkable lambsfoot knives from 2019, Jack, ringing in the new year and on your frosty, sunny hike. I really like that outdoor shot of the stag HHB!

Thanks a lot Gary I had a very pleasant hike thanks, there's a few more pics in the Guardians thread Happy New Year pal

Same to you, Jack!

Thanks Gary! Yes, on the eighth day following surgery, I was able to switch from a walker to the cane. Hopefully in the next week, or so, I’ll be moving around without any assistance.

Sounds like good progress, Lance! You'll be on rollerblades before you know it!

Happy New Year everybody.
...

Thanks, John. I hope 2020 is a year filled with health and joy for everyone!

Three that really hit home with me. A novelty baseball folder with Mickey Mantle (my all time favorite). Pitchers and catchers report in 42 days. My Schrade wire jack obsession featuring a large hawkbill. And one of my favorite traditional folders, the Case Bose lockback whittler which I carry but haven't used.

3 fine knives, Alan! I hear the Yankees picked up a pitcher who might help!

This for sure. A soupcon of snazzy for NYD.
...

Snazzy Barlow for sure, Jer, and a fine ICHIGA calendar!

I dunno, Gary. My first decade also runs from year 0 (my birth in 1960), and my tenth birthday is in 1970. To me that's 10. Can't help the way my mind categorizes things. But I understand yours and Rachel's point. Okay, let's begin "The Roaring Twenties"!
...

Here's a mathematical concept that gets me thinking every time I fall behind in a thread on BF. Suppose I'm about to start page 1960 of a thread whose current posts are on page 1970. I always think, "OK, I'm 10 pages behind" but then realize I actually have 11 pages to read through to catch up. Counting is hard!

Watchpocket Knife of the Week is a Case mini copperhead:


Big Knife of the Week is a Sabre Daddy Barlow:


Miscellaneous Knife of the Week is a Zorro Barlow:
