Myakka,

Whoo Hoo! I get mine Sunday morning. Rod sent it to my mom in PA and she's coming to visit for a few weeks. She is currently waiting to leave Miami for Sao Paulo and then here.

The cool part is that it was a gift from a friend who wants to remain anonymous. I got mine in A2 with black micarta,two lanyard holes like yours. They are a very well thought out knife. I can't wait to give mine a work out. Mac

How interesting; when I saw it I thought, "a super-mora." Kochanski is definitely a Mora guy.

"Skookum" is a pretty common word up here, don't know what indian dialect that's from although Chinook is pretty common up this way, but it's used to mean "strong" or maybe "tough." Skookumchuck Rapids is a rough place on the coast north of here, big water up there.
