Beware the Butter-Fingered Oaf!!!
Well, Jack, I think we can see now where you went wrong. You forgot to slap one of those “HANDLE WITH CARE” stickers on your knife before handing it over to the Butter-Fingered Oaf.![]()
She is a sweet sassy sliceysw...knife!
And looking at that photo, again Jack, thanks again for the tremendous work and out of pocket costs and behind the scenes time and work you have put into this years knife!![]()
I agree, Dennis, with both your statements. Especially about all that Jack does and has done. Preston
Campbellclanman - Duncan I sent you a PM.
Thanks Jack.I was going to suggest Duncan was probably asleep Dwight, but it's 9.54am in New Zealand at the moment, so he's probably at work
Have you ever been out to Lost Lake, out west of Nederland? We were going to take our camp trailer out there, but our friend who we were going to go out there with got real sick with cancer, had to sell his truck and trailer. We still want to get out there after I get well enough to.Thanks much, Vince, I've had a passion for both guns and knives, hunting and fishing since I can remember. Preston
It's from Mexico originally (or so some stories go), commonly called Michelada, or red beer or anything on that lines. It usually includes lime juice and chile powder, hot sauce, or Snappy Tom tomato juice around some of the boarder states. You should give it a try!Oh Man - what some of you guys do to beer![]()
Maybe it' not so much the lime in the beer that motivates but rather the limes as another reason to use the lambs foot. I'm just tryin' to understand

Have not been to that Lost Lake...there are others, so named, in Colorado. I had to look it up on a map. When you come, contact me and depending on how much time you have, I'd be glad to show you a few other spots...if you'd like. PrestonView attachment 1066456

I'm usually so excited when I get a new knife I want to show it off. Then I'm gritting my teeth watching some non-knife-knut clumsily handle it. I start telling them to be careful because it's sharp, and don't try to open two blades on teh same spring, and don't snap it closed like that, and I realize I'm kind of being a jerk, but I'm afraid some Butter-Fingered Oaf will break it or get his blood all over it. Nothing like that has happened, but I've learned my lesson and just keep it in my pocket.Thanks guys, I'm pleased to see this name spreading in useBy way of partial recompense for his oafishness, I might make a Butter-Fingered Oaf sign, and demand that he has his photo taken with it! I might have to duct tape it onto his hands in case he drops it!

I might give it a try some time, but from the description it sounds like I might as well just make a Bloody Mary.It's from Mexico originally (or so some stories go), commonly called Michelada, or red beer or anything on that lines.

You should try it Rachel! I would guess Mexican restaurants there should serve it, though you may have yo request it.I'm usually so excited when I get a new knife I want to show it off.

I will have to catch up on things a bit later, Guardians, but I wanted to drop in and say hi. I hope everyone is well.
When I am not so busy, I've been attempting to get in some light reading.

I liked it better when I was young I only went when I broke something, or that time I tried cutting my leg off with a chainsaw.Good grief, is it an age thing? I go in Tuesday to give, then go in Thursday to review.
