Early Fathers Day

Congrats on the Leek, and on the 50 years as well. Santa Fe does this piece justice for sure.

Getting close to 30 years of wedded bliss myself, but I think I'll let you keep that trophy on your mantle. Don't know if I can do another 20.

(Just kidding, the wife was walkin' by just now, can't let her get too comfortable ;)

Happy Father's Day, Mike.

That is a Sweet leek!

I know a bunch of boxes have been arriving for "her" the past few weeks, disappearing, and I haven't seen anything new around the house or in her wardrobe so.....?
Nothing early, (yet), but the anticipation is growing daily, I wonder what was in all those darn boxes......

It's shoes man..SHOES :p

My wife buys shoes..It's funny when I ask her if she got new shoes.."Um..no, I have had these old things forever"
I think she's playin me as that is what I tell her about knives that magically show up.
 
Wow that's a nice leek. Great gift, congrats on 50 years of marriage, and Happy Father's Day!
As for me, my family is not yet aware they bought me a Kershaw Launch 1 for Father's Day! :)
Eagerly awaiting its arrival.
 
Splendid!
The wife,
The knife,
A wonderful life.
50 years and it just appears,
You Sir, should have no fears.
She'll be yours through thick and thin,
You'll stand by her to the very end.
 
A day early is still early; with cookouts and such to attend tomorrow, and I go to work tomorrow night, she let me open my gifts today... (And no shoes)

I think that means I done good dad'ing...
New sharpening supplies; medium/fine diamond and 2000/5000 water stone, strop w/ compound, and a 1200 grit honing rod...
(She pretty much just replaced all my main existing old stuff with new stuff).
A NJ Devil's freezer mug w/ an Indianapolis colts lighter

And


2 matching serial # premium skylines...

This dad thing ain't so bad, I think I'll do it for another year or so...

Great looking knife Mike! I can totally appreciate your Mammoth Ivory/Bark and Mammoth Bone/Tooth obsession.

My Father's Day gift to myself this year is not a knife << what did he just say?!?!? ;)

Not my actual picture as I just ordered it an hour ago... but you get the gist.



Congrats and Happy Father's day to you Mike! As well as the other fathers out there.

A Custom OhMai from Nighthaxan (Charles)
Similar in blade materials to the pics below, but a more pronounced belly, a straight spine, and the edge being below the scales for aid in kitchen detail (and more canvas for him to work with).
2" blade with a 5" OAL.
Mini OhMai Fighter

2" flat ground blade made from my Oh Mai blend ( 1095/ copper/ 201 nickel/ and 304 stainless ), handled in black paper micarta, with an OAL of 4 1/2"s.

I am Glad to see that the folks on here seem to have wives and girlfriends (or both?, lol) that support, or at least play along with our addiction for one day.

Happy Fathers Day everyone, and congrats on landing an understanding significant other!
