Sure Thomas, great work. Take the weekend off but stop at the Post Office & send that one to me on your way home!
:thumbup:Thanks for the cool pics. Reminds me of a combo of Rick's Spanto and Slicer blades. I'm calling it a Splicer!
:thumbup::thumbup: I am so glad that I got on the list for these!

banana-clip:
Yes; Aunt Lucille was in the outhouse at the time...with one of her twins,Virginia or Caroline; I forget which one.
Both were shook up,cussin' mad,and bruised a little.Being roly-poly,they had enough insulation to avoid serious injury.
'Twas a two-holer outhouse,you see.Only about 25 yards from the corncrib.
The Berkshire sow that rooted it over prob'ly weighed 450...the ol' skinny razorback boar was on the downhill side when it tipped over...he got skint up some.
Pop kept the sow for piggin' and doctored up the boar hog with turpentine and liniment 'til he healed,then traded him for a used harness with a rough collar but good hames,almost new trace chains,and a hickory singletree for ol' Blueboy,best I recall.
Pop always said Aunt Lucille was,"two axe-handles wide,across the stump!".... 'cause Mom wouldn't let him say "butt" in front of us young 'uns.
So now it's 48 years later, and I reckon I'm now more excited about the new ZT/H knives...
Thomas,the blades look Gooood!

Thomas, Rick... That knife looks amazing. Is that the finish that's going to be on the blade or does it still need to be tumbled? I'll be honest with you, that finish looks pretty great. It highlights the grinds very well. I know those sharp lines are going to be lost in a tumble.
Either way, I can not wait until I get the call from kershawguy about this one.

That is one sweet looking knife. I have been resisting buying this knife because I figured people that appreciate this knife with the better steel should get it. I am waiting for the 0550 out in 2011, but it is REALLY HARD WAITING!!
At least I get to see what it will look like.
Also, I see the knife center has the 0550 on the ZT page.
