Thank you They're very sweet.

 

Nice 23!

Last winter and spring were unusually hard on bushes and shrubs, including the wild black raspberries, and even domestic blackberries. A lot of bushes died back above ground, but most survived if pruned hard. But around my place, we had no berries on our brambles!

This old Imperial barlow was my Grandpa’s. Dirt cheap, shell construction, ugly imitation sawcut plastic scales, BUT- great snap and of course, razor sharp.
I could not abide those plastic scales, so replaced them with buffalo horn. I ran into a few problems due to the weird shell construction, so will re-do these one of these days. Or not... I sure do like the way the horn polishes up. Of course being a thrifty guy, the horn came from the dog chew aisle at the store. Impi Barlow and GEC Tidiute Cutlery #54 in honor of the porchsters at the Rendezvous on Tidiute Thursday.

 

Yep. That's the spot.

Those imperfections don't detract from that knife; they're half the appeal!
Fun to see a few others from Jaromír too, great knives I figure.
Thanks for the response, and nice pictures.

Now, who do I know that's heading to Czechoslovakia?

 

Sweet knife.

 

Going straight

 

A fine pairing. It's nice to see one of those office knives being carried. I was sorely tempted when they came out, but couldn't justify the purchase, since I already have a 2013 forum knife on the same #13 frame with a similar blade combo. It's neat that GEC decided to make them with the lettering; it's an old style you don't see made any more.

Today, it's new and worn bone:

 

Morning all. Lambsfoot & Compact for today

 

Nice texture on that black one.

 

That is a gorgeous knife !

 

100 degrees today with heat index of 110+. Kershaw earning its keep again today. Has for 15+ years.

 

I know. The Congress pattern, and this one especially just fascinated me. I looked for a long while for this one. It recalls a type of knife that was common in the mid and late nineteenth century. Even though I am attracted to knives as users, there is no reason to not have ones that make me happy.

 

A pair of Remingtons today.

Reminds me of the RamsFoot. It would be sweet if GEC would do a two blade RF in the future
