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.

With me today. If I can slice a tomato my knife is sharp enough. That said, my Lloyd needs a stropping...

Same for me these days Gary Looks like you've taken to your new Nessmi

Great-looking trio Chuck, is the bottom knife a Violon?

That's a GEC Churchill. It is two blades; long and short, broad and narrow, curved edge and straight-edged. Pretty nice arrangement. the secondary is a coping rather than pen, though.

Looks good Jer

Thank you Jack.

.
Great pairing today, Jack. Love the rosewood covers on the Lamb Foot.

Classy choice my friend

Don't take me so seriously! I know lots of smart people that buy lottery tickets. I just don't want to pay a voluntary tax!

I'm not smart enough to buy a ticket! They introduced a national lottery here in 1995, and having never bought one, I really wouldn't know how to go about it. From what I see, standing in line at the newsagent, there seems to be a lot more to it than saying, "One lottery ticket please!"

A very Happy Birthday to Eleanor Barrett Great pics, she is really growing up Congratulations to all the family

Great pics, Barrett! And a Happy Birthday to Eleanor! (My granddaughter Eleanor was over this morning, but no knife pics. )

Hope you had a nice time with your granddaughter Vince, one of my kids is called Eleanor too

Morning folks, carrying my Hartshead Barlow today, and an Okapi Biltong Knife kindly gifted to me by @r8shell

Looks good Jer

Thanks. It's growing on me; I had some psychological issues with it for a while.

Publisher's Clearing House! It's free, and online you don't have to paw through a lot of flyers to find stickers.

I used the small blade yesterday to scrape off a tiny biting bug that wouldn't brush off. I hope it was a tiny fly and not a tick. It would have been a long climb for a tick to get to the outside of my wrist. Anyway, I'll keep an eye out for the circular rash that apparently only sometimes appears with Lyme's disease.

Looks like you've taken to your new Nessmi

Your Heartshead is looking good and that Okapi Biltong Knife looks interesting. I've never handled one. Good on r8shell.

I'm liking that blue - one of the special editions? I have accumulated some Alox SAKs in silver, red, and green. Need a blue one of these days.

The blue Alox SAK was the Special Edition for 2015.

I’m trying to decide which 66 I want to take with me today.

 

[Will Power]

@Travman Faced with choices like that, I may never be able to leave the house Or take both
Fine examples.

Take care. I live in tick's land, a forest growing up on a bog. The first time i've had those circular rash i'd been biten on the back part of a shoulder. Ticks are good climbers. That said, not all ticks transmit the disease. Keep an eye on any redness which could appear near the bite. Antibiotics solve easily the problem.

At least the outside of my wrist is an easily observable spot.
I'm hoping it's that little fly that digs in and hangs on, but we'll see.

We have a saying here, " if it's not removed by wiping it, then it's a tick". If you still have the red spot after two or three days then better is to ask for the advice of a doctor. I don't want to fear you, i just speak from experience.

@Jack Black Great-looking trio Chuck, is the bottom knife a Violon?

Jack yes that is a Violon (Violin) knife that I won in @lambertiana 20 years on BF GAW.

I am really pleased with knife and have already found a great use for it.

I have hand tremors and I have a hard time at restaurants using flimsy flatware so I take my own. I never had a knife that went along just used whatever was in my pockets. Now I have a knife with good heft to it to go along with my fork and spoon, plus it is better than any steak knife from a restaurant,
