Great pic day
That's awesome, dude! I saw a few garter snakes out on the property today, too. But I wasn't fast enough to get a pic. Nice job!
Here's mine for the day, and out in the woods, of course:

My Sunday yard knife today.
I know Spyderco is usually credited with making the first folder with a pocket clip in the US but the first version was made in 1981 or there abouts but it was made in Japan, like with many things in the cutlery industry most new ideas are just variations on a previous idea.
IIRC the Buck Titanium 186 was the first US made folding pocket knife with a pocket(belt) clip? Actually I believe the 186 had a lot of firsts in 1986 when it was released.
It was the first US production titanium folder and the first modern folder made to be disassembled by the owner. It also had bushings on the pivot and the rocker for the lock back.
This was a fantastic knife for the time but it was made in a very limited run and for only one or two years and then the very thing that Buck advertised, (the ability to take it apart and clean it) caused the demise of the 186 and made Buck change it forever to the 560, a riveted clipless version.
Apparently too many people took it apart and couldn't reassemble it causing an increase in customers sending them back to Buck for service.
Actually I just wanted a reason to show it off again.
Here's a few pics of mine and the box I keep it in.
A few of the knife.
