Hickory Hill. Great knife roll! Made in USA

Randy I use these -
Sack-Ups AC 801 12 Piece Knife Roll Protector

I have 3 of them, it has to be the nicest knife storage I have ever used.

Thanks guys I'm going shopping I'll post what I buy shortly.

Alright I'm back from my shopping trip I looked at both Hickory Hill and Sack Ups knife rolls and found them at two different Knife Stores but at least they were both BF registered dealers because I bought one of each oh yea I bought a Case Peanut and a Case medium Stockman too.
The Hickory Hill from GPKnives and the Sack Ups from Blade HQ both had very good prices.
These are their pictures from the ads.

that's the way to do it Randy, one of each. you could use the Sack-up for keeping your Safe Queens or the other way around your edc's

Both are great in different ways, Randy. I hope and think you will be pleased with both of them. It's just that you would need a lot of Sack-ups for all those Barlows, my friend.
What Peanut and Stockman did you get?

What Peanut and Stockman did you get?

DelOro it is warm enough to grill some pork chops outside today, I was sorely tempted.

Grilled Pork Chops

Figures & Facts from Mrs. Oro's family almanac!

A traditional southern dinner tonight for New Year’s:

1) Black Eyed Peas (which represent pennies or health)

2) Corn Bread (which represents gold or good fortune)

3) Pork Chops (which represents progress since pigs move their snouts in a forward motion while eating)

4) Brown Rice (from a 90 year old family mill in Vicksburg, Mississippi aka Mrs.Oro's Hometown)

P.S. You should avoid beef because cows stand still and you don’t want your life to be stagnant and also avoid chicken because they scratch backwards and you don’t want your life going in reverse.

All I know is that it tastes great and I always appreciate her cooking everything!

We had sweinerbraten. Today will be corned beef and cabbage.

 

[Will Power]

Corned Beef is a luxury here, rarely imported but I love it with all sorts or in sandwiches with horseradish The Cat fancies it a lot too

Isn't it funny WP how our pets get to "sample" our foods regardless of the foods cost or rarity. My granddaughter has a pit bull about one year old that's a big baby and I kept her a few days awhile back. During Nyla's visit I had cooked myself a nice rib eye steak that came from our local butcher shop and cost about $15.
Nyla of course sat by me at the table watching me eat and ended up with over half of it in her belly.

 

[Will Power]

Well Randy, I think pets have (and should have!) a pretty decent life with most of us But there's no denying the scrounging, scavenging aspect too Sometimes it's tantamount to robbery & blackmail

Yeah, no matter how many times I say to the dogs, "You're not getting any of my food", they know better.

I say that to the Missus every time I order fries with my burger

My dogs get no scraps and aren't even allowed near the table while we are eating (mean, I know).
However, my wife steals my food all the time. I just can't seem to train her. Funny how easily she can train me though.

 

[JohnDF]

Yay, I made it back home after my long road trip to Seattle. So glad we went, the game was AMAZING!!! I left my phone in the truck most of the trip but my wife snapped this pic to share with all of you here on the Porch. We had very good seats and I had the time of my life rooting for my team in person.

John my maternal Grandfather from the Isle of Skye used to say "Men are like dogs they can be trained, Women are like cats they cant"

True words of wisdom. The simple fact is... They can get along without us a lot better than we can get along without them... And they know it.

Sounds like a great and memorable trip John. And you certainly did have good seats!
