Handsome knife, Harry!
Your complimentary comments are an appreciated Christmas gift, Stuart!It's more akin to repetitious repetitive redundancy, but done over and over again.
Thanks for those lyrics. That's a fine motto.
That's a nice one, GT.
I saw what you did there. The paper wrapper notwithstanding that's no pig in a poke.

Thanks, Dennis.Nice coloring on the covers on that one, Gary!![]()
Gödel would probably beg to differ.Oder nicht.
Aber ich hoffe er hat recht.
I had to go online to look up the episode involving a Medusan ambassador and his blind telepathic interpreter.I only remember that Spock said it to Ohura. I fail![]()
I appreciated being able to "eavesdrop" on your assessment of toothpick pattern, Stuart!Thanks, Harry. I think that you'd like the way they ride in the pocket, particularly a single blade. I like my saber ground blades for strength (though they don't really get tested too hard) and aesthetics; the flat grinds are wicked slicers. I have versions from Belknap, Case, Imperial, KeenKutter, Kutmaster, Parker, Queen, Remington (Camillus), Shapleigh, Winchester (Queen), and fishing versions from Hoffritz and L.L. Bean. I like 'em all, though I prefer the single blade ones.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, my friend.

Same to you and yours, Ken!
Thanks, Paul.Oh, sorry, I thought I had this in my multi quoteThank you Gary, a fun knife and I'm likin the Main blade alot

Good old Bones. I liked that one where they visited a colony where everyone was happy and healthy due to the invasive space foliage. "We don't need doctors here, we'll have to find you a job."
"You want to see how fast I can put you in the hospital?"
Texas doesn't even have a REAL shape, like Italy. But look at Michigan - now THERE is a shapely state!!Well, you gotta admit, Texas has the best shape of any state!
Only Italy comes close!
What-a-Christmas-Trio, Jack!Merry Christmas folks, really enjoying seeing everyone's picsI've got a lot of heavy-lifting to do today, but hoping I can sneak on here from time to time
Have a lovely day my friends
Carrying these two today...

Thanks Alan!Merry Christmas Josh. Your three year old has excellent taste and looking at those cookies I expect I’ll see them on a baking show soon. Ho Ho Ho
If you say so, Gary. Can't recall the shape. Isn't it cut in half by one of them big lakes?Texas doesn't even have a REAL shape, like Italy. But look at Michigan - now THERE is a shapely state!!![]()
That was very nice of your Brother-in-Law, and a great story to go with it. Special knife.View attachment 1043176 View attachment 1043177
Nice Christmas story here. My Brother in Law was given this Colonial Ranger Stockman in 1976 by his Grandfather. He remembers that they bought the knife at the Circle J Cafe in Talihina, Oklahoma. He knows I collect knives, so he cleaned it up and replaced the plastic scales with Tiger Wood and gave it to me as a present. I sharpened it, oiled it, and put it in my pocket. A very interesting and well built knife ready for another few decades!

The word order's probably wrongGödel would probably beg to differ.Thanks for responding with vocabulary that my college German from over 45 years ago could comprehend (without an online translator).

The Case is amazing... the backspring is flush at closed, at half stop, and at open (all 3 positions).
Plus, the back of the blade and the spring line up perfectly when the blade is open, making one smooth line
Thank you kind sir! Yes at 3 1/8”, it disappears in the pocket. Your new Fight’n Rooster whittler is down right beautiful!!! Most of the stag covers I’ve seen on FR’s have a pronounced shoulder that’s left a little too high where the stag meets the bolsters, if you know what I mean, and I don’t really dig it but yours is perfect with the bark ramming straight into the bolsters!WowBeautiful and how nice it must be to carry

Yup, ‘n not only that, thinkin bout it does no good.Maybe one of those questions the consideration of which leads not to edification.
Just arrived, a Frank Buster Fight'n Rooster Whittler in StagCarbon blades with a nice stamp on the MASSIVE Sheepfoot
accompanied with a cool pen and coping blade
