Jar, I'd love to see your A.T.Barr folder open. Is that a linen Micarta handle?

Yes on the scales. The knife is off in a safe right now but I'll try to remember to take more pics next time I put it in rotation.

 

Here's another small scale lock from Whiskers Allen though that might tide you over:

L'Etalon cleaning with my Case and Opinel.

 

Looking good! Love the patina on that Opinel. Did you reprofile the blade or was that just through years of sharpening?

Yes, it's not all about nice shiny new knives.

:) What works, works. I had a Case Peanut for the longest time. Took it with me everywhere, everyday, and it did everything I needed it to. I still do carry by "collection" knives. But the Peanut was really all I needed. Sadly, it slipped out of my watch pocket last month. (Ironically, it was lost while I was at a knife show.)

Every time I see those vanishng points, it makes me want one. But they just seem so small to me. I'll admit I've never seen one in person, but they do look tiny.

I think they're a pretty good size and have a nice heft to it. I gave my matte black one to a friend who likes pens with a bit more girth and weight. :)

Here is a VP with some other pens for size comparison.

So perhaps not as small as I imagined, but certainly on the mid-sized to small range. I've found I like larger pens and really enjoy posting my 580-AL. The size looks a bit odd, but I really enjoy the balance and weight.

Couple of Kaweco Sports, a Stanley knife, and a Victorinox which I believe belonged to my grandad.

I like that top Kaweco! :) And the shield on that Vic... :wub:

Sunday = maintenance day. Touchups on the whetstone for my knives and a thorough cleaning and re-inking for the fountain pens.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
