That’s a good looking Soldier, Gary, especially for one 34 years old.

Still carrying my Father’s Day knife.... I missus the sheepsfoot of my stockman greatly..... however seeing my 5 year olds eyes beam when daddy pulls out the “fancy knife” he picked out himself...... my word.

 

[jsdistin]

I dropped one of these case sow belly. Really like this pattern and also like CV steel just wasn’t in love with the covers so off to J jsdistin for recovering and a bullet shield. They are perfect. One is mine and one for each of my grandchildren. View attachment 1378007View attachment 1378008View attachment 1378009View attachment 1378010

Thank you Al, it’s a pleasure to work with you as always.

Don't do it, Taylor! It's perfect the way it is.
By the way, that is the quintessential Barlow.

By the way, that is the quintessential Barlow.

I know...I know...it really is! I haven't had one in a while and saw someone recently post one that was either stonewashed or etched that looked really nice.

That French one sure is elegant looking.
And the wood is nice looking as well.

I've been enjoying seeing all the #23s, and that one is a beauty

I was looking through some penknives last night, and marvelling at this lovely Ulster, gifted to me by my dear friend @herder a while ago. I thought I'd slip it into my shirt pocket today

Also carrying my Hartshead Barlow, and Bradford Guardian

Thank you very much, Jack!!!
Your Ulster pen is certainly an outstanding addition to your HHB and Bradford; I'm always stunned by what the great craftsmen of the past created!

Two pairs of dark, dapper, and delightful knives, JJ!

Thank you very kindly, Gary!!!

I really like your foursome today; hard to beat 3 out of 4 being scouts with a Laguiole chaser!

Thank you JJ. The knife, shield, and jigging are spectacular. Great photo.

Thanks so much, Harvey!!!

1-off Hoback mini

Really digging the ironwood covers on your J Black lamb; the Hoback mini is certainly quite the cool and unique fixed blade, awesome 1 of a kind!

We're supposed to have some storms and rain here today so I'm planning on spend a relaxing Sunday with these two close at hand. Y'all stay safe out there my friends! I'm recycling my photo this morning, but it's early and my coffee is getting cold! Have a blessed day!

Stunning pair there, Ron!

Working on a unfinished pipe. 2019 BF knife along for the ride.

Good looking pipe! (The knife ain't bad, either!)

We got a Red Heeler... named "Blue"
He's driving my old McNab crazy!!!


and my carry today.

Cute pup, John. Here’s ours (Maggie) when she was little.

She’s a bit bigger now.

Beautiful knife!

Oily Creek Ram earlier tonight, then switched to tomorrows carry, an ebony Churchill.

Cool photo, Paul! Hope you’re doing well!

Already looking well-used, I like it!

Gonna try and mod this Opinel!
View attachment 1378203

Great pair, Taylor! (Although I agree with Vince on the Opinel.)

I’ve been carrying this No. 7 almost exclusively for a week, which is a bit unusual for me. It may not be fancy, but it gets the job done.

 

[Pàdruig]

Continuing with the Todor Hristov Puukko and something fine in Bloodwood today. Restrung the Martin and gave the fretboard and body a good cleaning and oiling while I was at it.

She is singing pretty sweetly now.

 

[JJ Cahill]

Today I'm going with this French slicer wearing ebony covers.

 

[Jack Black]

Thanks very much Jack. I'm mostly just embarrassed. The splint is to remind me to be extra careful for a few days--and to get out of work!

I know the feeling my friend I'm glad there's no lasting harm done

That’s a pretty thing, Jack.

Those looks fantastic Al, the grandkids are going to be thrilled

Thank you Al, it’s a pleasure to work with you as always.

Outstanding work

Many thanks JJ Yes, those old boys didn't seem to have a problem making a multi-bladed knife without blade-rub
