Thanks for your generosity and congrats on the mile stone. I am in.

One day as I was showing some of my knife collection to my daughter, I would bring one out, tell her why it was special and the nuances of the handle and blade shape, etc and state that it is one of my favorites. She turns around and says, "Dad, they are all your favorites." Which just goes to show what kind of an illness (hobby) this has become.

Meanwhile back in Nathan's private studio, he kicks Elizabeth Hurley to the curb for the sake of his beloved WA Surls knives. But the plot thickens and he learns heartbreak when the truth is uncovered; Like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, Osage will darken and gracefully mature into Bog Oak over several thousand years.

I knew I should have used Tony and Osage.
Great job with that Jerry!
 
Not sure this will make others laugh, but I couldn't stop laughing all the way home.

So, a few weeks ago I took my 3.5 year old fishing for the first time. We ended up catching a few small perch, but they were big enough to keep and would make for a nice addition to our lunch. I proceeded to clean the fish over the watchful eyes of my daughter (I was using my Surls Huntsman for the job!). We cooked them up and had a great lunch.

The following Monday, I picked up my daughter from preschool and asked if she had told her teachers and friends about her first fishing trip. She hadn't, so everyone was eager to hear what happened. Well, in as loud a voice as she could muster, my daughter proceeded to say "Daddy used his knife to to cut their head off and make them dead so we could eat them!" The look on her teacher's faces was priceless!!!

I'm not sure what I started here. The other day we drove by a flock of wild turkeys and my daughter said she wanted to catch one and cut off its head so we could eat it! LOL!

Oh my! Good luck with that ;)

Akin to my daughters a couple years back (4 and 5 yrs old) when we were at the zoo and in similar fashion around other moms/kids (city folk mind you) they publicly announced "Those doves are fat, we should shoot em and eat em". School is another thing though - they're not strangers you won't see again.

I read my daughter the Berenstain Bears books (she's now 5). In one of them the family decides to NOT eat the turkey for THanksgiving Dinner. It becomes a pet and they eat fish instead (Bears.... go figure).

I feel I have brought my daughter up right, because every time we read that story she says, "Daddy, they shoulda eat that turkey. Turkeys are not pets. Turkeys are dinner!"
 
I'll take it! I mean, I'm in.

Seriously, that is insanely generous. You could stop all of us junkies in our tracks with a $20 knife. Like a dog wanting a ball...

I've been away but here's my story..
Last week I made homemade pizza doe to do calzones on the grill.
Anyway it takes an hour and a half to rise. As the time was near to roll it out I hear a knock on the door. It's my neighbor guy that is not handy what so ever saying his wife is worried and smells gas in the basement so could I come check it out? I say yes and set the covered doe bowl in the garage on a table. Well ten minutes later as I walk back to my house with the neighbor guy behind still talking with me I notice my dog pushing a bowl around upside down on the concrete in garage. I yell GET AWAY FROM THAT!!
I rush over, flip the bowl over only to find my for missing!!!! I tell the guy to go home cause I'm going to explode. At this time it was 8pm and family is starving and my doe is gone.
Well I put my dog in the kennel and tell her you better get tuff quick because I'm not taking you to the vet.
Well after I calm down I let her out in case she has to puke or crap and what does she do but run over to the in ground fire pit area and start digging. I yell GET AWAY FROM THAT!! DAMN DOG!!
I go over to stop her and when I look down what do I see but my doe ball ( 5 times bigger from rising) in a hole.
Guess she knew it wasn't ready yet
 
Well, I'll be.

Uh, which what made you laugh?!

Oh, my goodness!

... I already have two Esquires, which sounds way boasty in a way I don't intend(!), and would love to handle the EDK-- which would also be my first scandi blade of ever, Fiddleback or no.

@Wurrwulf, what say ye? Are you up for the Esquire, or shall we leave this to chance?

;)

(Feel free to PM me directly, if we need to arrange a neutral space in which to resolve this in the manner of a Monty Python Reenactment of a Famous Battle gracefully.)
