From Charlie's salad days at Blade (not to be confused with the Four Tenors)

And a knife that Charlie likes:

Nice old pic, Mike!! I remember fondly!!

Few of us are my friend

Lucky for us, we don't need so much ferocity with all our wisdom.

Thanks for all the nice pics, guys!!
JohnDF , If it weren't such a hassle to send knives across the border, I'd ask you to make me a sheath or two!! That's if you have the time and desire??!! Can you make a slip from a scan??

 

[waynorth]

For entertainment only!!

 

[JohnDF]

Can you make a slip from a scan??

I'll see what I can come up with.

Narwhal or Unicorn?

Think I need to hide in here until the smoke clears. My head was starting to spin from all the madness.

 

[Just Tom.]

I think I may wait for the storm to settle before resurfacing again as well

I'm not sure!!

From what I can see from the thread, it seems to be turning into a storm of self-pity at the moment!

Maybe we can ALL hide in here until some of these people bugger off again, and sanity is restored

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.”

Or we can ramble aimlessly??

Why does a knife marked "SCOUT", and having a caplifter/screwdriver, give one the warm and fuzzies?? Maybe it's like having a personal assistant at all times??

Haha really is a personal assistant. Cheers to that

Some knives take up BIG psychic space!! Others nestle unobtrusively and prettily in your pocket!!

While it all can seem a little tedious, it is exciting for the nuggets of information and insight that occasionally pop up!!
I do appreciate great knife pics!! They should be required - say 20% of ones posts, must have a GOOD picture!!

Yes on the PICTURES REQUIRED !!! Do you remember when it was " Show a picture or it didn't happen " ????

Sorry I couldn’t find a better clip, but this whole episode is a jab at enthusiast communities and their attempts at exclusivity. Just a reminder that we should’t be like the Jellyspotters. [Spoiler alert in case you want to find and watch the whole episode: Kevin is a real jerk and it ends badly for him.]

At first, I thought this criterion would bar me from future participation, especially with the emphasis on picture quality. But then I realized how subjective the goodness of a picture is, and I cheered up! I almost always post pictures that are GOOD enough for me!!

Luckily I am well cured of knife-acquisition-syndrome so I don't care if I don't have enough post counts to qualify to buy another pocket knife. I still have a hundred or so I have not yet used up.

Since I guess I need a knife image: Here is one I bought with all intentions of using, but it was so pretty that the only thing it has done is pose for photos, like this one:

I certainly do!! If an old codger like me can figure out how to post picture, you'd think it would be a breeze for the new kids!!!
