"Excuse me while I ...
It's been a while since I saw the movie, but isn't that line from Blazing Saddles when the new black sheriff meets the townspeople for the first time? Must have made quite an impression on me.

Or the line from Jimi Hendrix in Purple Haze ~ Excuse me while I kiss the sky.

Thanks Bob but you might want to read the last sentence of the post. It’s just a AI generated soliloquy. But not bad for my first attempt .

I don't need no stinkin AI.
I get my inspiration from books.

Good book

What kind of tree have you been posing your knives in lately, Mike?

- GT

Sorry for the late reply, GT. At one point I knew what kind of tree that is, but I can't remember for the life of me

I always use a clean boost or a preamp going direct at church, but the pedal on the right is the most important.

I believe that that’s where the AI content comes from

That green stockman is a gem! Is it an Imperial? What is that shield on it?

These two have not seemed to want to leave my pocket for quite awhile now. They are a useful pair!

My favorite part of that knife's design is the horn "endcap"!

Thanks, Gary.

It IS a gem, mainly because it was given to me by Greg, sunknife in 2024. A special versiion of an 881 Stockman.
It's a Schrade Walden from a commerative series honoring Thomas Jefferson. Both the shield and the blade etch depict an eagle with a flag. One saying We The People, the other saying Thomas Jefferson with his birth and death years.

I have to compliment you on your fixed blade creation. Both the design and execution are excellent!
I can certainly see why you like to use it.

Funny thing about getting old — you start to measure life in the things you keep. Not the big things, mind you, but the small ones. Like these knives. Every one of them has a story. This one here, with the bone handle? I got that the day my father took me fishing on the Tallapoosa, right after he told me not to be afraid of the water. And this little one, the Barlow, I traded for a bag of marbles in fifth grade. Never told my mother.

But the Case stockman — that one’s different. That was the knife I carried every day. Three blades, all sharp as the day I bought it. I used it to peel apples, cut twine, whittle a toy duck for my granddaughter. I must’ve oiled that hinge a hundred times. It just fits in your hand right, like it belongs there, like it’s always belonged there.

So when I lost it, I felt like I’d lost more than just a knife. I tore this house apart. Checked every pocket, every cushion. Even looked under the porch, though my knees aren’t what they used to be. I kept thinking: if I can lose something I’ve kept close for twenty years, what else might slip away? Memory’s not as sharp as it used to be, either.

And then, this afternoon, that neighbor boy — Jackson — comes running up, all out of breath, and he’s got it in his hand. Says he found it near the mailbox, right where I must’ve dropped it. He looked so proud, like he’d found buried treasure. And you know what? Maybe he did.

I took it back, and I just stood there, holding it. All that worry, all that fuss — and here it was, safe and sound. I thanked the boy, of course. Gave him a firm handshake. Might’ve slipped him a five, too. But what I wanted to tell him, what I couldn’t quite get out, was that it isn’t just a knife. It’s all the days gone by, all the times I’ve needed something steady to hold onto and found it right there in my pocket.

Funny thing about getting old — you start to realize what you really value. And sometimes, if you’re lucky, what you thought was lost finds its way home again.

I guess I could just rewrite the parameters

Glad the knife is home and in your pocket where it belongs. That young man shows at least some people still teach children right from wrong and good from bad.
You had me until the AI part.
I suggest writing it from the depths of your soul. Option 2 is not say anything about AI

That’s even more handsome close up! That shield and that match strike long pull are the bees knees. That’s a mighty fine gift.

Thank you for the compliment! It means a lot coming from someone who I know does some excellent work on scaling/making knives themselves. I put it to good use today cutting up some pork tenderloin and chicken for this week’s meals.
