I’ve got a few more hiding somewhere… but there’s 374 in thereI’ve still got some cleaning/tidying up to do.
Will need to make some room for several TGS19 + Choppacabras… in a couple weeks
Bacon Overload!
Without a doubt one of the most beautiful blades I've ever seen in person. A true Nuclear Iron mistressI just chatted w/skunk because of an old post I just ran across…

Speaking of Iron Mistress… I’ve got a hefty (handle heavy!) John Nelson Cooper brass back Bowie. Check it w/NMMOAB and MOAT.
You have to admit, Greasy nuclear bacon is pretty crappy. Greasy? Seriously. Everyone else got to name themselves recently. Why not give him a better name. He's earned it.

That dog tag is very cool! Where does a HOG acquire one of those ?You’re telling me!!
Yes!… and thank you!
We had just finished up having a knife wrapping party & putting knives in some bins. We made our way near the entry and Skunk pops out of his armory with three more beautiful blades in some really nice sheaths. He slowly extends them out toward me. I’m thinking, “Oh my gosh, is he giving these to me?” I probably gave him some puppy dog look… and he says, “What? I’m not giving these to you… but you can look at them… they’re really beautiful ones.” Doh, he got me sooo good!
The three…
LCABS giraffe bone, Snakeskin ABA LE and a FFG Meaner Street w/spalted maple

After hangin’ with everybody at the Skunk’s and surviving the plane crash… we all went for some tasty Mexican food over in Sky (El Mariachi Loco).
We brought the MOAB along for good measure & it served as a table centerpiece… but the company I was in was the real treasure.

Cobalt is the eldest HOG of the group… therefore dubbed to perform HOG induction.
I thought Cobalt was going to cut my ear off!
Then he proceeded to place the induction tag over my head.

Thank you very much @randucci @Mrs SkunkCobalt and of course @idahoskunk for making it all come together!
Crud… forgot about the JWB… more to come.
Good onya Jerry!Yowzaaa!!!
Now everyone can see why simply adding a "G" to your location tells the story! Idaho + G = I Da Hog (Skunk made that one up years ago!!! )
Gosh darn HOGs drinking without me!!!!
Well, to be honest, I was drinking. . . just not there in the mix of all that INFI and Bacon!!!
You all look great and I really wish that I could've been there!
Awesome!
Congrats to Nuker for scoring a ton of INFI from Skunk's prized collection!
Watching Cobalt do the induction made me wonder if the available napkins would have been enough to cover that severed ear!
Let's Drink!

The tag is rooted in O.I.N.K.That dog tag is very cool! Where does a HOG acquire one of those ?
Just didn't want to get mixed up down the line.
