I was wondering what the link between the two is, myself...

I get the link "Bible and a rope" but guns, hmm.
I believe "Bible and a rope" comes from the old days when people honed with tape or something like that, I could have it all wrong!

Well being the type of Christian that shaves with a straight razor results in collecting expensive Bibles. The bible in the pics is my R.L. Allan KJV Longprimer in goatskin. I love quality products and I believe that quality was typically better before conveinance got in the way of it, This is why I shave with a straight razor. I read the bible ALOT and was tired of having the covers literally fall off my bibles, therefore I started collecting quality bibles that didn't fall apart. Guns are along the same lines I collect quality firearms that while aren't neccessarily pretty are functional and work very well.

so that would be the correlation between guns and bibles and its also why Im on a straight razor forum.

Then why buy a rusted razor?

BTW I am intrigued by the goatskin bible, I may have to get one.

sight unseen razor as to why the rust lol

Very nice. I agree about the quality thing. I tend to listen to the Bible (as I drift to sleep) rather than read it; normally I listen to Ecclesiastes, also the book of Job and I also listen to a lot of The Imitation of Christ, as well as The Song of Solomon. I also use a dip pen, and generally at work I use a 1950's fountain pen. I generally like anything old, apart from me that is, who is getting decidedly vintage and creaky around the joints of late...

Good to have you here, I think you'll fit in. It'd be great to have a conversation with you at a pub over a stout or two methinks...

You guys and your bibles. lmao. Anyway, congrats on the Boker. I want to pick one of those up eventually. I've seen some decent examples in antique stores just never had the extra cash to pick them up. Nice RIA as well. I used to have one myself and it was one of my favorite 1911's.
