Paul, I see SO many good-looking knives when I visit this forum that I've started checking a thesaurus app so that I don't repeat myself too often in expressing my admiration for the knives folks display. 
The fact that I don't know how to say some of the words I write has never stopped me!

Oh my, so many examples of pulchritudinous.
P.S. I can pronounce it too.

This week it's been the orange Farmer in left front pocket. It's just a perfect companion to have on hand, especially for assorted chores around the homestead.

I don't know what I'd do on the plantation if I didn't have a Soldier as a constant companion. I guess nothing would ever get done, since there is nothing in the world comparable...

I agree with you Al on the pulchritudinous, but I'm still workin on the pronunciation part---I bet after a "Beginning of the Holiday" drink/s I'll stand a better chance at it

GT, thank you and enjoy family and friends on this great holiday:thumbup:
We used to own a family furniture for almost 50yrs and saw the end of an era where traveling salesman where ceasing to exist. I learned the term from one of those dedicated salesman. We felt for them because many referred to the Dakota's as like being banished to Siberia

Hey you, my family crawled out of caves just a year or so ago, so we're all polysyllabic.
...and yes, have a blessed and safe Thanksgiving this year all.

I have to confess that I had to look up sesquipedalian to really get the full effect of the joke. I knew what pulchritude and pulchritudinous meant from high school Latin classes over 45 years ago, and I knew what sesquicentennial meant, but couldn't figure out sesquipedalian on my own.

Hey, I think I dated Polly Syllabic a couple of times back in the day.
She was very popular!And speaking of popular, to steer this back to Alox SAKs, does anyone have a Vic Popular? I was looking at the SAKwiki page (I think) and ran across this model. If I understand correctly, the Popular is like today's Secretary, but with textured red Alox instead of smooth silver Alox. I'm thinking of picking up a "bare bones" 2-blade SAK, and my preference would be to get a Popular, a Secretary, or a Pocket Pal, in that order. But I don't know how realistic it is to set my heart on finding a Popular. Anyone have advice? Thanks!
