i am never quite sure wether to be more thankful for Thanksgiving or The Fourthof July. Both are uniquely American and both are occasions in for me to reflect on how incredibly lucky I have been....

I was born on the day that the Second World War was effectively over - August the Sixth 1945- which was, of course the day the Big bomb got the Japanese to quit. The following 73 years have allowed me to bask in the joys of the prosperity, peace and plenty that we have enjoyed in our country that have been unmatched in any place, at anytime in the history of Mankind. Truly, a golden age.

My thanks to the political geniuses that created this incredible engine for prosperity and good almost bring me to tears of happiness sometimes.

On this particular Thanksgiving I am so Thankful to be with friends whom I will be cooking and sitting down with to a gluttonous repast of ham and turkey and way too many lovely sides. But, although I will certainly enjoy my gluttony, I want all of you to know how thankful I am for this community. I am proud of my knife designs and how many have found them useful but I often think that this forum and the friendships it has enabled and the knowledge it has shared eclipse whatever ‘stuff” I have created.

Please have a great and fine time with friends and family, eat a little too much and take the time to reflect on our countries’, great good luck and the friends we share.... Be safe and thank you for being here...

Thank You Ethan for sharing your designs with all of us and I to always think how lucky we all are to live in such a Great Nation. I hope you and everyone have a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving as well. :thumbsup:


I'am such a kiss ass :D
 
Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate it and especially thanks to those who have made and continue to make this forum what it is.
 
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! ... Been a trying year but still alot to be thankful for ... including the friends and knowledge I find on this forum ... hope everyone has a good day.
 
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

I hope you all have a very pleasant holiday and and enjoyable feast. I am spatchcocking my turkey this year (never done it before so we will see how it turns out). I got to baton through the breastbone though, with the designated turkey knife, the one and only BK-5.
 
Happy Thanksgiving, Ethan. It has been a pleasure hanging around here and toying with your designs. I hope everyone had a grand old day. :thumbsup:
 
Spatchcocked. Getting ready to cut into it.

The events of recent days here have reinforced for me just how important family and friends are. Hug your people, people.

I'm thankful for all you hooligans too and for Ethan and his work bringing us all together.
 
I'd dare say this forum is here because of you sir. So in a sense you created this too :D

Happy thanksgiving! And thank you for the friends I have gained from here because of you.
 
At work today the free turkey dinner was pretty good. In the break room every one was sitting and chatting like at a T-Day Table. Although several tables about the talk was more quiet and friendly and a few tales of family T-day Past, with of course a football game going on.

After work went to dad's and the "evil Step-mother"'s (hey its tradition to call them evil!) and loot and pillage what was left of the turkey. As usual the deer me and my brother brought over a few days gone was all gone eaten by the earlier guests. (and they wonder why me and my brother hid and cut up our first deer!) Talked with another brother but later learned some thing to be thankful is my little sister's little girl decided to come a few days early and now a waiting word how the new niece will be doing soon. Another reason to be Thankful on this day.
