Captivating wood, Dean!
Splendid pair, Paul; cool bolster "refinements" on the Texas Jack!
Thanks, Jack.
Beautiful stag lockback, José!
I agree about the Alox; look for it again in the not-so-distant future in a Best Looking Five thread near you.
You're pretty punny yourself, sir, with that prior/pry-er remark.
Fantastic German duo! What sort of wood does the Ankermesser have?
Your dad's barlow is a magnificent keepsake!
Thanks for the kind words, Bruce.
We're still using a Kenmore clothes dryer that my wife had when we got married over 35 years ago!
Thanks, JJ; that RR electrician is built like a tank!
Those Hammer Brands are cool as cracked ice!
Bang-up Barlow pair!
Thanks, Dean; it's sure a favorite of mine.
As Jed Clampett would say in his Beverly Hills mansion: "Wellll, doggies!!"
Gold standard pair, Steve!
That's a prize copperhead, Joe!
Sounds good! I ordered the canoe simply because I was curious what it would be like for $4 (may have jumped up to $6 by the time I decided to order one). But it's rock-solid and more than satisfactory.
Glad I could help you learn a new term, Dan.

The SBJr is looking fine!
Very handsome half whittler, Gary!
My sowbelly pic in direct sunlight with inky black shadows of the blades on a wall right behind the knife could easily make it look like a 6-blade congress!
Nice brace of Barlows, Jack!
I'm intrigued by that Barlow definition specifying a single blade.
Welcome back!
Versatile Black Friday combo, John. The long, smooth bolster on the Böker Barlow is a fetching feature!
Sweet Camillus pen knife, Jeff!
Are you enjoying sticking with that other pair all week?
