That's my kind of pairing, Jack.
I think I'm going to camp out in the yard tonight and try to see some meteors (Orionids should peak tonight) might make some s'mores.
Thanks Rachel
Great idea, hope you had a good time
Many thanks for the kind words Paul
Great pairing Jack! I really like that old Wheatley Brothers!
Thank you Ron, I'll have to carry it more often
Carrying these today! Y’all be safe out there!
I love that pairing my friend
Terrific twosome Gev
Thanks for the links, I’m going to give the abrasive compound in the pivot a go before I go and butcher a beautiful knife
I like a stiff pull, but sometimes I wonder what on earth Wright's are thinking of. I can pinch open all my Lambsfoot knives, but the very last one I got from them, which was a sample, I had to use pliers to open the blade. Just flushing out all the gunk they leave in the pivot, with oil and compressed air, will make a difference, but in the case of this knife I had to smooth the corners of the tang with a file. It's OK now though, apart from the appalling mess they made of the edge
Good luck, I'm sure you can ease it up, without having to resort to a notch
Glad to hear that buddy!
Thank you very much
My twofer totes for today, a GEC and an LT Wright.
Two very cool knives there JJ, and a great pic of them. I have some old tortoiseshell, but find the acrylic just as attractive

Bailed non-SAK this week is a Marbles Workman scout knife (doesn't actually have a bail, but it OUGHT to):

International Knife of the Week is a knife my daughter bought for me in the workshop of Mariano Zamarano, a famous Toledo, Spain knife/sword maker, but it's actually just a production Nieto climber with curly birch handle to which Zamarano added his blade etch. Still a very nice knife, though!

The Farmer is one of my favourite SAKs Gary
That's very cheeky of Zamarano, hope the premium for the blade-etch wasn't too high
I remember a once well-known English knife-maker who used to buy Brusletto blades, and then grind the etch off, before claiming them as his work. At least he hafted them himself!
Looking good Taylor
This post should come with a trigger warning for those of y’all who aren’t ready for the s-word yet. (I’m looking a you,
5K Qs
and
@CelloDan.)
We got maybe 4 or 5 inches of the stuff today. This photo was taken after I cleared a quick path on the front deck (obviously it was still coming down). I’m really liking this little Joker (a gift from
Jack Black
; thanks again!).
I can tell you that there was at least one person who was quite happy that it was snowing.
Your photos always give me a big grin Barrett
Glad you're enjoying the Joker pal
Back with my Hartshead Barlow today, and a Buck 301, gifted to me by
