[Jack Black]

Jack Black - Thank you Jack. The Hartshead and pears still life. Like a Dutch Master.

Thank you Harvey, that's very generous my friend

Maiden Voyage, Robeson Cigar Cattleman Stockman(you never forget your first cigar pattern traditional). Needs some SPA, but otherwise well built with heft. The hafts are smooth as silk. It could be celluloid, but feels like wood.

Nice new addition Harvey, and it goes well with your IXL Lambsfoot

Thanks Jack!!! The top one is a 1957 Wenger soldier.
Tasty pair and pears today!

Thank you JJ, both for the info, and for the compliment

A fine pair of Robesons

Morning folks, hope everyone is doing well, and having a good weekend Now that Mike @Crazy Canuck 's giveaway is over, I thought I'd treat myself to a Double Lambsfoot Sunday!

The Governor cancelled most gatherings in the state yesterday and many churches had already cancelled services so I won’t need a dress knife today. Probably piddle around the yard a bit and then practice my social distancing by fishing later on. Good old stainless steel for the win! OH

 

[Jolipapa]

Bars and restaurants are closed as of today so I'll do a bit of gardening, the KK sheepsfoot is very practical at opening the seeds enveloppes and making ridges in the potting soil.

 

[Old Hunter]

Jolipapa That certainly is a very nice old Keen Kutter. Are all the blades in as nice a shape as the Sheepfoot Blade? OH

 

[Reaper AL]

Decided to carry my GEC 92 with a blade delete today

Many thanks, Will.

Yessir! I use it very often because it is such a pleasure to handle! The fact it is a gift from Charlie@Waynorth does absolutely not interfere!

 

[Pt-Luso]

Thanks very much Harvey but the bottom one is actually a #13 instead of a #62 . At one time 1 had 3 of them but I gifted one to a Grandson . My want for an Eye Witness Stag Barlow goes back to 2014 when I first saw them in my searches for Barlows . I would not spend enough and bought the Ox Horn and then a Rams Horn instead .

Wonderful Barlow TEW, Harry.

Today in my pocket with Schrade Barlow, Ducks Scrimshaw.

...This just makes wish the Badger Show was on, safely. It would have been fun to meet you and the other. Might have ended up doing a little horse trading, too. Hopefully next year.

I was also looking forward to meeting you, Harvey. And Barrett as well.
But I have to tell ya, they cram so many aisles of tables in that room, and it is so well attended that you can find yourself shoulder to shoulder and elbow to elbow.

Thanks Jack!!! The top one is a 1957 Wenger soldier.
Tasty pair and pears today!

I think you nailed

I always get a kick out of your "dog chew" reference; love those old EO Navy knives too, very cool!

Thanks, my friend! And I love that big Robeson Barlow!

That’s not a bad idea! This is the time when surprisingly big northern pike are heading up surprisingly small creeks getting ready to spawn.
Nice Craftsman Jack!
I’ve got a Craftsman in my pocket as well, along with a Voos barehead jack.

Here they are with some Beardtongue that is shrugging off winter’s last gasps...

Hello Old Engineer,

I love the picture of your old "Slipstick" , I wonder how many people remember and can still use them.
The knives are superb too.
Cheers.

Thank you my friend . I taught my older kids how to use them but they had a hard time understanding the concept of the Slipstick until they were in advanced math in high school . I think I could still operate one to do the very simple stuff . It was all I had as an engineer until probably 1971 .

Yeah , People nowadays have a hard time grasping how difficult and time consuming it was to do complicated calculations back in the days before electronics , but they were done nevertheless.

Best wishes.

Cheers.
