Ok,
I know you all have been there before. Probably every single one of you has more knives than you will need in a lifetime..... HOWEVER
When you lose or misplace one of them for more than a month (in my case about 4 months), it always pokes at your gut that you cannot find one of your precious's.
For me, it was this little Schrade Old Timer 12OT.
I was searching for that stupid ear piece for hands free talking (BTW, do not get pulled over in CA it will cost you about $150 personal experience) under my bed, and I spy this dark slim small object with a glint on the edge that sparked my hope. I got down and breathed in a lung full of that under the bed dust, and pulled out my little bundle of joy. I was in such a good mood when I found it.
I had to do an EDC rotation. I sharpened up my Spyderco paramilitary, blew it out shot it with some break free, wiped her down and put her on the shelf in my gun safe. I also did the same with my 2010 Moose forum knife. I then pulled out my BM 710 for my clippie, and my 120T will be with me til my whim tells me to change again. I do not get inner peace or joy from material things, but I did give thanks to God that He gives me so much that I have the luxury of a glorious hobby of knife nuttiness. It is not my fault that He made me that way.
I know I do not venture here much guys, but Schrade knives, especially Old Timers are just the bee's knee's in my book. They make me like delrin, because they just do it right, or at least they did it right. LOL.
Thanks for looking and reading my blathering.....
Rejoice in the homecoming with that batty ol' CJ65.
