With our six hour time difference, I hope you are all tucked in and sound asleep resting up for your big day, and don’t see this until morning.
I still remember one of the Yorkshire colloquialisms from your posts a couple of years ago, which I won’t repeat now.
Here’s hoping for a special day!
Hot off Bret’s bench and staying hot in my pocket for a long time I bet

And a very cool little Pen Knife that Jack Black just sent me with some other goodies...

Many thanks Jack!!! Hope your having a great Yorkshire Day!![]()
Better late than never!It’s been a busy day. We started early this morning by going to the local farmers market. We got some more okra, new red potatoes, sweet potatoes and some heirloom tomatoes! Then we went to Cracker Barrel and had a good breakfast. Next we went to my brother-in-laws house to take him some okra and tomatoes. Next we stopped by the grocery store and got the items we will need for the coming week. While I was in the store I got a call from my pal Harry @Old Engineer. He wanted to let me know he had received his Mesquite 23L from CK.
Next we stopped and filled up the tank on Pam’s Avalon. Then we headed home and unloaded all the groceries and fresh produce. By then it was passed time for lunch. After lunch we went out and did our mowing and weed eater work in the lawn. After we both had our shower, we fixed some baked spaghetti and garlic bread for supper. All during the day I was carrying two of my stag favorites. My EDC Northfield #35 Churchill and my Jack Black SFO Hartshead Barlow. After dessert I settled in and opened my package from CK. Wow!
What a way to spend the rest of the evening. CEing and CFing my new Northfield #23L SFO with some extremely nice Mesquite to admire.
Y’all stay safe out there!

Two capable knives.
My mouth is watering!
The little guys were really good... they are all gone.what did you make of the jelly babies?
Thanks, Jack. Great information and thanks for the picture to go with it. It's fun to play with, the blades are very 'snappy'.The Penknife is by Joseph Elliott & Son of Sheffield, where the grandfather of the maker of your Hartshead Barlow worked. They were an old Sheffield firm, dating to 1795, and lasting until 1995. Their old factory still stands![]()
Thank you, Jack. I'm glad you had a smashing Yorkshire Day.Thanks RachelGreat to see that pair together

Good morning everyone!I’m getting to know my new Northfield 23L in Mesquite from our friend Mike at CK. The folks at GEC have really made some stunning knives for Mike!
I’ve also dropped my William Rodgers Horn Lambsfoot in my pocket. It’s a smaller size and doesn’t mind sharing pocket space!
Y’all have a great day! Be safe wherever you’re at!
