Today was July 22nd, which means I was carrying Eleanor’s Nifebrite #71 Bull Nose.
I had this knife with me when she was born four years ago (she was very punctual, and showed up right on her due date).
Now I carry it on her birthday every year (and any other day Eleanor has something special going on).
I’ve also made it a tradition to take a photo of Eleanor holding her knife on her birthday, which I enjoy getting to share with y’all. Here she is on her first birthday:
And her second (which was her least cooperative birthday when it came to having her photo taken with her knife

):
This was on her third birthday last year:
And here she is holding her knife today:
This year’s birthday was a pretty low key affair with everything going on, but we still had a great day.
