My son and I are going to a Car/Bike show today. So my yeller delrin case cv Barlow gets the nod. Man, I wish they’d make this knife exactly the same except for their jigged chestnut bone cover material. They would undoubtedly make a lot of them, And that, would be super duper! I’d buy at least a couple!
...
Have fun,
Jimmy
I'd buy a chestnut jigged bone CV Barlow, too!
Diverse Duo: dark and light, big and small, 1 blade and 2, lambsfoot and clip point, English and American, wood and bone, barehead and endcap, no shield and shield. The diversity boggles the mind!!
Thanks Bruce. I actually filed the pins down a little and the liners were a bit proud of the covers, so I sanded those off too. That took some of the color off the covers doing that so I kept going all the way around and then buffed them off. I really like the way they turned out. I didn’t know all I had to do was put it in my pocket and hang some drywall!
Looks like you did great work, Todd!

Hey, now! Those are All-Stars, Steve!
Thank you very much, Gary!!! That reminds me of a 60s Donovan song.
Yeah, I'm sure my use of "mellow yellow" had significant Donovanian influence!
Thanks Gary. From my first day here, my aim was to get quoted by you.
Thanks, Alan, although that sounds like a pretty low bar!
(Actually, I think you arrived on The Porch before I did.
)
Two eggs up, hash brown potatoes, and hash.
Thanks for the celebratory info, ED!

Oh and there’s beer involved.

Classy Case canoe!

It belonged to Ron, then gifted to Harry, and then gifted to me... which makes it special beyond words.
...
Definitely a very special knife, John!
I can see why you put it on a pedestal (or at least a post
)
It's just decorative. Imperial made a number of patterns in black plastic, some with the yellow rectangle and some without. I used to think they had some marketing connection to Stanley Tools, but your question had me do a quick google search, and I can't find anything to verify that.
Thanks for the follow-up, Rachel.
I hadn't made the Stanley connection.

Thanks for your nice comments!
I do believe you’re right about the Gibson factory. Think it’s possible your uncle had s hand in making this old J45?
I am trying not to make french toast too often, but lemme know when you’re coming, and I’ll make a pile!
Jeff, if I subtracted correctly, your Gibson was made in 1955, and my uncle didn't graduate from high school until 1958 and then did a hitch in the army (2 years?) before he worked at Gibson, so I'm sure he had nothing to do with your guitar.

That's a Victorinox Tinker. With a CAO cigar and some Johnnie Walker Black on the rocks. Great way to end the day.
Great to see you here again, Vince; love the baseball Tinker!
So glad you’re enjoying them Gary.
I need to get a family photo of my Rough Rider Outdoorsman/tobacco bone knives.

Good sunday to everyone
You certainly have many knives with beautiful wood handles!!
Today with this French "Farol".
I always admire your "whale", José!
...
Thanks Gary
Mammoth multi-quote!
I agree Gary, the darker bone is definitely more attractive in my opinion
Well done Todd
Hope we'll see you over there soon buddy!
...
Have a relaxing and peaceful Sunday folks

Grand pair of Barlows, Jack!
Are those apples behind you HHB? They remind me of the fruit we get on a quince bush.
Thanks for your encouraging words, Jack.
I spend lots of time in the Guardians thread, but since I'm always a week behind, I haven't posted in a long time.
I have been totin all these this morning along with my always in the pocket alox SAK.
I finished off the handle on the black one,can you see the join?
smoothed of and oiled the handle on
my Spanish knife that I got on my road trip this year,It’s basic but very nice snap and good to use.
Then I thought I may as well put another few coats on my trapper,which I must add has quickly become a favourite.
...
Who made your Spanish knife and in what city did you buy it?
My daughter lived in Madrid for several years, and I visited her there about 6 years ago. She took me to several cities in Spain (Sevilla, Grenada, Toledo, Valencia, Denia) and I bought at least one knife in each city.
The big one is a Methodist church knife.

How do you carry your hobo knife? I recently got a Ka-Bar version that carries well in a pocket of my winter coat, but that's not what I typically wear to summer picnics.
@Johnnythefox Good idea that, will put my kitchen magnetic knife strip to use for this sometime.
...
After some days of heavy rain & strong winds, the sun is out today-wind still raging though. But it's better than all the dark & then snow that will soon be here from Nov-March or later
Versatile duo then for the day.

Will, that Waynorth lambsfoot is outstanding, and the whittler is also an impressive knife!
An old Imperial I picked up cheap in a flea market. The covers are terrible, but I like the blade shape.
That old knife is a treasure!
Thanks for your informative and engaging replies, Jack.
I like those summer sausage "logs". I occasionally will use it for sandwiches, but I use it much more often as an ingredient in other meals. I'll typically cut off and dice 4 thin slices 2 or 3 times per week to put in my breakfast oatmeal or a supper vegetable casserole/stew.
The English carry,I took my Victorinox cadet into town.
visited a few antique shops nada of interest,lots of people milling around town.

Johnny hates jazz,but loves the blues.

That pocket worn Cadet is incredible!!

I enjoy your frequent Double Lambsfoot Days, JJ!
