Rougarou? I beg your pardon.

Yes, but a Rougarou looks a lot different than a yeti and is supposed to be more like a werewolf. Yeti's are from a whole different geography. You may need to get around more.

Bill Howard knows how to sell knives. He went from making lots of variations of handle materials to making fewer variations with different etches and names. You get the feeling of anticipation and variety, even with less overall options.

And pins…
Who will be the first to get all three yeti buttons??

Remember the Piasa Bird etch? Maybe we will start to see all sorts of mythical creatures.

Elephants, gators and cows, — oh, my!!!

Hey JW225 !!! How about a Palm Tree??? After all, there's Swamps, bayous, and gators in Florida and Palm Trees.

Just an FYI, You can't see it in the pictures but some of the acrylic will have some pattern (mottling) like the 62 and 25 ivory did but will be a brighter white acrylic. The patterned pieces will be far fewer than the pure white, but will add a little dimension for those who like that.

It's mostly cypress and bog oaks in the bayou's though.

I wasn’t so sure about the 88, but, as with the recent 36, the quirk factor may be impossible to resist.

Is there a quirk with the 88?

Eh, it's a bit quirky - largely because no one expects to see a Lambsfoot blade in a Sowbelly frame. However, if you were to substitute that blade for a full size wharncliffe or spey, folks would likely think it pretty normal.

That, and the imagery that is evoked with the etches, possible shield choices, etc. - it's a bit whimsical. Not unlike the prior run of 36s.

In southern swamps, the two dominant trees are Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum), a gymnosperm, and Water Tupelo (Nyssa aquatica), an angiosperm.

My favorite pastime is sitting under the Cypress around the Texas springs & rivers, drinking cold beer with the wife and .

I think Dylan summed it up nicely. But, "Yeti" in Tibetan as the blade etch? Hell, they had me at “Gator."
