Two single blades today. A. Wright & Son Lambfoot and GEC Bull Nose
Practical pair Ed
Happy Victoria Day Charlie
Cool pic 
Thanks a lot Harvey, nice pair of vintage Sheffields there
Your Richards knife is the same pattern as the first knife I bought with my own money (on a school trip around 1971), though with different covers That's a great pic Going small today with a Peanut sized Small Camper from Mr. Ohta.
Always a treat to see
I grabbed this one today.
Nice pic Dave
Jack my apologies for not commenting yesterday Jack! I don’t recall seeing one your Jack Black knives before. It’s a great looking fixed blade. From reading your comments it must have been extremely well made and very durable!
...
Three great ones there Jack!
Wow!That was quite a torture test Jack!
No apologies necessary Ron, thank you for your kind words
I only have one of my JBK knives, and have only posted pics a couple of times over the years. At the time, chisel-ground military-style 'survival knives' were very much in vogue, so the U1 (the first knife I did) was a radical departure. Still the sharpest knife I own, and it's tough. I wish I still had the 4" (U1-4) variant too. It really had a lot of testing! 
I sent one of the first to be tested by reindeer herders up near the Arctic Circle. Another couple went to two deer-stalkers working on estates here in the UK, they had a competition between them to see who could skin the most deer without re-sharpening, they were both well past a dozen when I last heard from them. I put a huge amount of work into those knives, but the fly in the ointment was incompetent and dishonest Sheffield cutlers unfortunately. Still, plenty of other cutlers and cutlery firms have benefited from the work I did on the steel/HT 
Running a little late today! As you can see my Rosewood Bigun Lambsfoot and I have been busy between the rain showers!This load weighed 1192 lbs!
That's a LOT of wood!
Just another dismal day spent doing very little to nothing but carrying this with me .
Brought it out of Retirement again to have with me while I went out back to pick up the Raccoon Damaged bird feeder and repair it .
Harry
Great to see that one again Harry
These two for me today.
Perfect pairing Dylan
That is a very cool story Jack; awesome cutlery adventures!!!
Thank you very kindly, good Sir!!!
Those are three wonderful choices, from the "rough and ready" Yank to the very sophisticated English gentlemen; love those horn covers (and your "Super-Duper" tm!
Going with these two for Tuesday.
Many thanks JJ

The TL-29 is in my left pocket, and the Case and Wenger in the right. The balance should be close enough to keep me from walking in circles.View attachment 13429647254View attachment 1342962Backpacker IIView attachment 1342963

Beautiful choices JJ! Classic jigged bone on each one!Going with these two for Tuesday.
The Case 47s are a personal favorite of mine! Wow Jack!No apologies necessary Ron, thank you for your kind words
Hi folks, another day, another....er
I hate that you only have the one example! They sound like really great hard use knives. I’m sure the other cutlery firms really appreciated all your hard work in developing the steel and heat treatment processes. You’re packing a classic working pair today! A Barlow and a TL-29 have both stood the test of time!

It felt a LOT like work John!Sounds a little too much like work, Ron.
It was definitely a full load Jack! I loaded it so I could totally utilize all the available space and still have a safe load. It cost me a whopping $24.02 to dispose of that load!That's a LOT of wood!
That’s a versatile pairing John! Both classics!Good Morning Everybody
My Small Texas Jack will be joining my Lambsfoot for the day...

Wow Jack!
Me too Ron
I know a few folks still have them, and regard them very highly British Steel knew, the specialist hardeners, and a few others, but I doubt many of those firms knew. It was a project that left a very bitter taste in my mouth, for the most part, sadly Thanks a lot my friend Good morning! I’m carrying my newest addition this morning, a William Rodgers Horn Lambsfoot along with a Tidioute #68 Pony Jack. Y’all stay safe out there!
Congratulations on your new Lambsfoot Ron, it's a beauty
It pairs nicely with the Pony Jack 
Good Morning Everybody
My Small Texas Jack will be joining my Lambsfoot for the day...
Excellent pairing John, two great knives
Two for Tuesday, and probably Wooden Wednesday too.
That's a very interesting FB Gary, and matches the elegance of your Laguiole

You had to PAY to have it disposed of?!
You should just have parked up on my street Ron, all the wood-burners would have stripped your truck clean for free! Honestly, I'll sometimes hear a chainsaw, where a tree is being felled in the neighbourhood, and the next thing there are packs roaming the streets, trying to find the source, so they can get some free firewood!

Being a big fan of wood covers I must agree with you, outstanding looking color and grain in that beauty.
