@flatblackcapo What a relief, but what persistence too. I want to get hold of some magnets like that, but where? Cheaper and easier to use than a metal detector too
Harry you’ve got two great 77’s there made from unobtainium! A very good day indeed my friend! Those family photos are so precious! I hope you and your lovely bride have a wonderful new year!Decent day out today to get some pictures of today's carry ; TWO 77's and both are Smooth Bone Autumn Gold . Barlow and Washington HJ .
When I was moving the pics into the computer I just had to look at the other downloads of early Christmas with one our daughter's family .
A very good day for our family .
Harry
With a start like like your new year is bound to be a great one!So it was almost a sad day. While I was walking my dog I thought "hey that looks like a nice sunny spot to take another knife pic" So I pull my knives out of my pocket and walk to the sunny spot...... Then I realize that one of my knife slips is EMPTY!!! My 2016 Bladeforums 35 Drover is LOST !!!
I search, retrace my steps, go back to that fence post that I took the last pic at, retrace my steps again, NOTHING! By now the dog is just confused and thinks I am even more crazy than she thought I was before. So I mark the spot I think I may have dropped it with a stick and impromptu flag, take the dog, her name is Rilley, back home, grab every magnet I can quickly find (2, I need more magnets) and head back to the levee. I start searching, walking in circles dragging my magnets that I had quickly tied to paracord, cussing at sticks that snagged my paracord, throwing those sticks in the river after cussing them some more. There where some homeless guys camped across the river watching me, probably thinking I was crazy, just like Rilley ( my dog ) does, but I don't care!! I lost my dang Forum knife and I am going to find it!!!! After about 15- 20 min. I hear CLICK... WOOOOO HOOOOO IT'S MY KNIFE!!!! WHO'S CRAZY NOW?!!!
Well probably me...but I found my knife!
HAPPY 2019 Y'ALL!
The pic I took before I lost it. ^
The pic I took when I found it. ^^
The pic I was going to take before I lost the Drover.
Back at the coalface today...I think the majority of my female colleagues have been dying to escape from their families and holidays to continue their endless 'games of thrones' with each other..
So I'll be consoling myself with Roast Chestnuts tonight And I believe this BB split back Whittler will be helping in the prep
The weather may be chilly, Steve, but that #10 is throwing some heat. (I have its twin, also from 1961-1971.)

I figured since it was Wednesday a little Ebony would be appropriate!
I'm with you Kevin. I'd still be rejoicing. Great story with a happy ending. Lovely knife too.WHO'S CRAZY NOW?

Old Engineer - Harry the 77's are dreamy especially in those scales.

Thanks Vince. JB hit a homer with these. We sure are fortunate to have him as our advocate.Looks like Prime to me.
Very nice knives and photo . I would call you Normal my friend .
Couldn't decide which, so like a true knife addict, I figured why not carry both? I reckon no one here will call me crazy...
Really like that Scroll Work Kevin .
That is a classy look. Very cool.
