Words of wisdomI like your sig line,
That one really made me chuckle that day so I thought I would share it 
Something a little off-topic I am excited about but not sure where to share.
I've been wanting something one-of-a-kind to match my growing tortoise shell collection. I reached out to a guy on Instagram that makes custom pens and asked if he could make one to match my GECs. I had to wait a while for him to find the material in thick enough pieces to turn the pen but it was worth it. I think he did an amazing job

Happy birthday Joshua and yes you do.
Thanks John and Rick!
My favorite quote about dogs is:
Everyone thinks they have the best dog. And none of them are wrong.
— W. R. Purche
It’s so true. And, now I’m blessed to have the two best dogs.
Happy birthday! And congratulations on that thoughtful gift.
Neat! I came pretty late to the Instagram party, but now that I’ve been using it for a few months I’ve found it to be a great way to discover talented makers that I otherwise would never have found.
By the way, have you seen the Pens and traditional knives thread? I see a tortoise shell pairing posting in your future.
Thanks for sharing that, Kevin.Picked up this near mint Schrade Walden advertising knife this week... wanted to share it because of the "Penny and the Knife" story on the card inside. Goes hand-in-hand with the spirit that we find here on The Porch

Watching Texas and Oklahoma now myself.
I could be cleaning up the yard. I could be walking in the woods. I could be...
Instead I'm watching the SU vs Pitt game. I'm normally a big SU fan but this rivalry, since 1955 if I recall correctly, always presents a dilemma for me.
My mom and dad, who are both gone now, were from Pittsburgh.
My dad went to Pitt after WW2. I went to SU after the Vietnam War. It was a rivalry my dad and I shared.
I really don't care who wins this game. It gives me a chance to remember a good father.
Have a great weekend!!
Thank you.
I did some modifying of the proper. The curve at the butt and at the tang made the knife have a hot spot whether I choked up or down. I smoothed our the bottom and it feels better. I also tried putting a swedge on each side. It looks pretty good, but is subtle. I might go further but I thought I’d ask what you guys thought first.
Good to see you here, Greg, and congrats on the new addition to the family!!Howdy everyone! I’ve been pretty scarce ’round these parts lately and I wanted to check in and say hi. Life’s been busy the past couple of months, but all in good ways. Three weeks ago tomorrow it got even busier with a decidedly Good Thing.
Please meet our new border collie mix pup, Tucker:
...
Have a great weekend everyone!
Sounds like Tucker is going to be a winner! Happy birthday, Joshua!
And congrats on the knives your thoughtful students have given you over the years. That's a tribute to both their and your characters! That pen looks fantastic, Darren; congrats on getting it made!Something a little off-topic I am excited about but not sure where to share.

I've heard that coin tradition described going the other direction, too: the recipient gives a coin to "buy" the knife from the giver. Here's an old thread about quaint knife traditions:Touching tribute to your Dad, Gary!
