I carried a brace of Ancient Barlows on my hike today. First photos are in/at an 1885 covered bridge, then a group photo. (Can you find the Cicadas?

Thank you, John. Long live Emil Voos!

What’s the story on that stone your Bullnose is on?

Jeff I live near a bunch of old and small quarries. I pass this one all the time in some guys front yard. I have always admired it and today I happened to be working in front of his yard and took close look at it. It is brownstone I believe. Alot of this towns brownstone was sent to NYC back in the day.

Outstanding save, Charlie! I love the edge you get on a Robeson, even their kitchen knives are fantastic slicers (I use almost daily )

Fresh outta the mail and into my pocket...
I probably won't use it but I'll have fun carrying it!!!

Pulled out these two thirties thrifty slicers by Hammer Brand/Imperial for a bit of edge honing.

Those old imperial hammer knives had thin stock and thin edge bevels. Slicers indeed.

I don't think I want to know what "French the headlights" is a euphemism for

Lol, that statement rings true for about 99% of the knives I own. I think I get more satisfaction out of holding them like worry stones than actually cutting something with them.

Right? Why not have fun with this hobby.
Not everything has to be about how valuable they are.

I don't want to ruin the etch on the knife.
But I definitely have a few that are more for showing than for using.
