Well done.
Hypnotic horn, lambertiana!
High-class horn, FBC!!...
Today
Captivating couple of knives, Old Timer! I mean, Old Timer and A. Wright. Heart-stopping horn on your lambsfoot, Jack! (I'll probably sing a similar refrain each time you post that knife - so striking!)
Today in my pocket Bulldog barlow in rams horn.
...
Your Bulldog Barlowswith their curved handles are beguiling, Pt-Luso! Choosing a favorite must be difficult (I'm currently leaning toward the stag ).Today I continue with Bulldog barlow, this time with sister in stag...
...
Stunning stockman, Jeff!
That pair of knives will get your motor running, though, Shawn! I've never been a coffee drinker, but I decided in September to try caffeine as a solution to falling asleep at my desk the past 2.5 years. I didn't want anything fancy, and I didn't want to give up my morning OJ, so for almost 2 months now I've been nuking my OJ and stirring in a heaping teaspoonful of Folger's instant crystals. I think it's helping a little with the fatigue, and I actually enjoy the taste!Nothing like burnt, acrid Office Coffee to start your week.
"The kick is up ... and it's GOOD!!"Let’s kick off the week with this old Robeson barlow...
Admirable productivity, Gev!Thank you kind Sir!! Yes....peppers, cantaloupe, and tomatoes. Just had first night nippy spell
You're a one-stoplight town, Jer!!Stop, look, and listen...
Always a joy to see that one, Dean! (Kind of political, though. )
Harry, were you ever a boxer? You set me up with jabs from that superb stag 55, then knocked me out with the twin Wrights!
Jack, it's a wonderful knife; thanks!!Thanks pal, nice to see that old Sheffield Ring-OPener again
...
Inspiring rescue story, tomsch!Carried, and used, this Queencut jack all day. It's one of the least expensive knives I have but the history is what makes it endearing. I picked it up for less than $15 but it came with issues. The blade was so bent that it would not close and the pivot very loose due to some prying abusing. I used a vice to straighten the blade and then peened the pivot to fix the wobble. After that it needed filing on the rivet which was now pronounced after the peening. After that I reprofiled the edge and it was ready for use. Quite a bit of work for a $15 knife but it was a great experience bringing back a knife which was destined for the boneyard made it a bit special.
Congrats on the captivating Camillus cattle knife, Steve!!
Congrats, Paul; that knife you just got is a looker, too!!Well that's just a looker right there my friend see if this looks familiar? I'm in the minimalist camp today while at home rehabing after knee surgery. A little back story here.
Both hamsco and I expressed interest in this wee Lil Carver. hamsco claimed first but sent me a pm saying if it didn't work out he'd let me know. Sure enough a pm came saying it was available at what he paid for it. Well it arrived yesterday and although a bit groggy after surgery I didn't notice the entire contents in the box. The Carver of course was in the box and I did happen to notice the cool Kodak film tin I pm'd back thanking hamsco for the tin and he mentioned a Zippo lighter was also included!!! I collect tins and lighters so the additional gifts amazed me I rushed out to my garage and in the box was an early model pristine lighter. Turns out the lighter is from his family's business!!! Very neat...THANK YOU MY FRIEND!!!

That little bulldog of a knife made me smile.

Thanks Jeff. I've got a couple of real nice stag 73s, but to be honest this jigged bone one is the best. You missed one other aspect I like, the match strike nail nick. It also develops a beautiful grey patina.Alan, your #73 is about as good as it gets: great color and jigging, barehead, and the long pull centered below the swedge. I'm sorry I missed that one when new, it's a beaut.
Thanks, Gary. That Zorro Barlow looks like a fun knife!High-class horn, FBC!!
Hectic morning so far, but I managed to snap a shot and then toss these into my pockets before heading out the door for the day.
What an amazing find!! Fascinating!

Really cool knife.
Love that Barrel knife and of course the TC
What wonderful history, Sarah! That notebook, with all the scriblings in it, is just icing on the cake! I have a handmade tool chest that looks to be similar size to yours. Nowhere near as old, and it sure takes up a lot of space in my shop, but I just had to have it. Thanks for sharing all the pics!
No worries P, worth the wait. I enjoyed seeing the pages, esp. the one dated June 10/06 (as in 1906).
The box is intriguing. The lid appears to have vents, yet from the inside appears solid. Wonder what that's about.
I wonder too!
Maybe just slots to put drill pieces in or something similar?
Drill bits!!
Scant picture I'm afraid due to lack of daylight. But I'm really enthusiastic about this Cougar Claw Churchill that arrived today
Pony Jack, my first knife in ebony and I'm really liking it!!!
Nice.Today "Poaso" of Finland!!!
