The oval shield is really nice. I hope the hotdog is retired in honor forever.

Got my very first GEC today and it is better than I could have hoped for! Although the pull on the fork is a little strong, the knife’s pull is about perfect. I know it is a weird pattern not everyone likes, but it is exactly what I wanted since I love eating, drinking, and have a beard.

Nice B&S!!
These two Vipers came to me with very undistinguished handles; one had a "muddy" set of Ironwood Scales, and the other had poorly dyed
Bone handles !!! So I asked a good friend to mod them for me!! The Bone became White Bone, and the Ironwood became Stag!! I am much happier now!!!
(The scratches are on my scanner, not the knife!)

Another incredible set of knives, Charlie. Two magnificent foursomes, in fact, when you put the 47s and the 74s together as “mirror image” knives!
I had fun with the 91 and the 82 yesterday, realized the 91 frame is like a jumbo version of the beloved 82

Had a good time with the B&S in the poket and opening bottles for a while. But carbon steel always looks nice with patina, and using your favourite knife is a joy. So i started cutting food stuff with it yesterday.
Enjoy your knife too and have a good weekend folks.

Harry,
Thank you for the nice note. Apologies, I missed seeing your reply until today! St Andrews was one of the greatest Scottish whisky bars in NYC that has unfortunately closed down. It was located on W 46th Street in the Broadway theater district but felt like a locals pub not a tourist trap. They had an incredible selection that I am sure featured a number of Oban bottles. I am fan of Oban's whiskies, too.

How is the snap on your fork/bottle opener? Mine from the same run is a real nail breaker. The blade’s snap is strong but manageable though.
