Haha, well, fortunately for me, Jerry isn't a idiot, I told him where not to put his fingers if he wanted to go home with them. :D Jerry has had a invite to come by the shop for a long time, he just finally took me up on it. The funny thing is, I think he wanted to prove that Murph and I are not just a couple of drunken morons making knives out of a backyard toolshed. Now that's hes been here, He KNOWS for fact that were just a couple of drunken morons making knives out of a backyard toolshed. Haha! :D

I didn't find it awkward, but I did think it was unnecessary so I took it out of mine.
I don't recall my first knife, but I have my first Ka-Bar. The original Warthog. Love that knife. Really wish they'd bring that back.

I have a Firespark pre- autoLAWKS. The lock seems redundant, anyway - that locking bar ain't releasing the blade prematurely in regular use anyway. That's also my first CRKT folder. The A/O is lightning fast and I was very impressed with how sharp it was outta the box. Like mirror-polish, razor-sharp sharp.

Thanks, Todd. From what I hear you tell poor Murph to his face, that's quite a complement!

You said it, not me, but I'm glad you got that out of the way.... He's not kidding, folks. Taking that into consideration, it is even more impressive what comes out of the shop.

I wish I could have a basement. Would love to have one for a root cellar/storm shelter. Where I lived before, dig down 6 inches and you hit 100 feet of solid limestone. Where I live now, dig down 7 feet and I hit the water table.

Can't help it...my mom was an English teacher, and my tri-lingual German grandmother could take on any native English speaker in Scrabble and lay waste to the board. When she passed I chose her 6" thick copy of Webster's Complete....that used to reside on a brass book stand on the sideboard. I'm pretty sure she memorized every page. Daizee's just an East Coast Intellectual. It's in our (blue) blood. The English language is just so rich in descriptive terminology, it seems a shame not to use it.

Limestone? *pshaw*
I live on a granite hillside. The well is 600' deep.
My lawnmower blade regularly gets sharpened on the lawn.

Me too, but for a very different reason, and I'd still be digging from my basement. Around here, nearly everyone has a "flow through" foundation. When the ocean levels start to rise, gonna be a lot of people floating :wink:.
 
Evening gents. Someone is selling a BK6 on the exchange if anyone is looking.
 
My cousin lives in my great-uncle's old house. It has a basement (sort of) that free flows water when we get it in quantities. It's about 7 feet deep, and the top foot sticks above ground. The house is about 15 feet higher in elevation and their water table in deeper - at about 14 feet than at my place. Because we have a heavy black gumbo-clay soil around here, the ground shrinks and heaves with the drought/flood cycles we get and concrete foundations crack. When ever we get over a couple inches of rain, my cousin has to start up the sump pump. When a tropical storm hits, they've gotten as much as 4 feet of water in the basement. The water flows in faster than the cheesy little pump he bought can pump it back out.
