So it's old...

Just thinking about this while washing for the umtenth time. Guess we probably all have a piece of equipment we just can’t depart with. Here’s mine.
Should have thrown this years ago but,
Has seen the grill, smoker, oven and stovetop. Perhaps “magic” brownies back in the day.
Comfort thing? Who knows.
If it ain’t broke…PapaSop I am a creature of habit and have a hard time throwing out useful items. I see a pan with character!

If it ain’t broke…PapaSop I do have some new one’s for people who are over. But, do have one that has seen probably as many environments as yours. It and I’m happy keeping it around.

bocephus Now that’s a knife (and the perfect background to show it off).

That looks like something the original Marines used for ship-to-ship fighting!

These were originally my moms, she gave them tome when I moved out on my own in the early 80’s. She had bought them in Germany when they were stationed there. She had other baking pans at her house when she passed that were older than these, they were embossed and I believe they belonged to my grandmother. My sister took those. They all looked like these, my mom baked a lot.

bocephus I have one like that just about passed down with elkhorn handle. The problem with mine though is over 45 years ago, someone I knew that was visiting did something with it & broke the tang off the blade when they grabbed it & did something not too smart. I have still been holding on to it all these years hoping to find someone that can weld that back together & I haven’t found them yet. Those old knives are very nice knives.

calldoctoday That one is a Russell “Green River Works”. I have another that I found laying on a table at a Flea Market, I think I paid the guy $20 for it, I think it is newer than the one that was passed down to me.

bocephus Mine is a home made or custom job apparently. Nice knife, nice handle, very old, but that person ruined it, until I can find someone that could weld that tang back onto the blade & then of course the problem is the elk horn has to be removed too. It looks like this knife was created literally from point to butt.

bocephus now that’s a knife!

)This is a knife that was passed down from my Great Aunt on my Mother’s side to my Dad, who gave it to me. Jonathon sharpened it when I won a knife sharpening and did a great job. PapaSop how’s that for a background.Luv it! Awesome knife as well. History and memories!

Well, I guess we’re all about the same. Everything has its place. Although I don’t cook with it anymore, has become a solid transfer piece. Grill to table.

I use that word a bunch when referring to my coffee cups. LOL

bocephus nice, that’s somewhere between a large breaking knife and a sabre. It’s kinda hard to see with that big orange glare. Maybe you could take a better pic with a nice pleasing to the eyes blue background.

PapaSop Sounds like my strange thing where I do not like to wash my coffee cups with soap if I can help it, just a through rinse. I know that sounds strange & unhygienic, but I have always been like that & as far as I know, never got sick over it. Of course I used one cup for over 30 years until Margaret broke it. I had another just like it for 10 before that & the same thing happened. Hopefully this one will be it.

Yeah, soap rarely touches my coffee cup. Just a rinse.
