Nice pics guys
Thanks buddy, that's a great tribute pic
Thank you Preston
I'm actually creating an internet 'hot spot' with my phone, and connecting my PC to it with Bluetooth. Fiddly, but not as fiddly as trying to do everything on my phone. I only have an 8GB data allowance though, so I need to sort out something else
I enjoy all the photos posted here, sometimes use filters myself, or at least play around with the light levels
We are lucky to have such great photographers as yourself my friend
LOL!
I still didn't!
Yes, a real shame David
The last couple of times I was in Malton, I was just passing through, but when I last visited properly, I noticed a few of the old pubs had closed. The place is definitely seeing gentrification. A good rail connection can be a curse to a small town these days, as well as a blessing
Lovely, colourful pic my friend
Thank you Harvey, with the convoluted history typical to Sheffield cutlery manufacture, one can only learn so much about a knife from reading about the company whose name it bears, particularly when it comes to trying to date it. Really one needs to examine it in hand, but clear, unfiltered photos help, particularly of all parts of the knife, the joint, the blade well, etc (more convenient for discussion if they are not uploaded directly, so show as photos rather than links). My guess would be that your knife actually dates from the late 19th century, but I think it was almost certainly manufactured FOR Hunter's, by another quality Sheffield cutlers, rather than by the firm themselves. Sometimes forensic examination, and comparison to other knives from the same period, can give clues as to which firm or cutler might have made the knife, though generally it is not possible to tell. As with computers and search engines, for example, the better information you put in, the better information you are likely to get out
The Pale Rider seems to be getting paler Jose!
Great stuff Steve, hope they're nice ones, I do think it's pretty cool they make left-handed models
Thank you for the kind words Dwight, and for yet another fantastic pic
Glad it made it OK Joshua
The first thing I thought about, when I heard, was
@OLd_gUY 's post just the other day
The nose of the blade is a tad more pinchable, and also the longer blade makes them easier to open I think
Cool pics Vince
Is that happening here Joshua?
Horn is affected by atmospheric conditions such as temperature and humidity. The only problem I've had myself is when I left a couple of horn knives out in very strong sunlight, so they got HOT to the touch. The horn started to peel away from the liners, but a couple of weeks later, the horn was back to how it was before. Joshua, if you check the index, there's a whole load of posts on looking after horn, I know that a couple of members here have had problems in the past, probably because of where they live. Horn is beautiful, but I probably wouldn't use it again for a Guardians knife, for example, simply because our members live in very different places in terms of the climate and weather
Thanks pal
Morning Guardians, it's only taken me an hour to get through everyone's post today, but still, I better get my skates on, and get moving. Nice sunny day here today, hope everyone's week is going OK
