Hope everyone else's holiday travels are safe. Take your time on the road. Momma_Toothpick had a wreck last night T-boned some kids in a mini van. Everyone came out not scratches or any thing. This I guess is just a public service announcement.

Crap I'm glad she's ok.

Some of my biggest fears for my family right there TT. Really glad noone was injured man.

Tex, really glad the wife is safe. Collisions can be really scary.

Very nice! I'm looking forward to seeing how the project develops :thumbup:
If you find yourself in a typing mood I'd be interested in a run down of everything in the collection that might not be immediately recognizable.

Do you think of this storage method as an easy way to see and grab what you need as well as long term storage?

I can definitely give a run down, I'll also post up what I end up using (i have bought about 5 different brand hooks/clips) and you nailed it. I used to store all my knives in various rubbermaid storage boxes, but it made it hard to just grab and go.

TT, my sister t-boned a deer on thanksgiving day probably 15+ yrs ago, so for me this time of yr always reminds me to be extra cautious. She was ok back then and I am thrilled you and yours made it through this ok. Accidents always suck, but family is irreplaceable. Thanks for the keep it safe reminder and have a great thanksgiving everyone!

Haha that's awesome. I'm trying to find another 4.1 in some sort of stainless so I can put it on my tool belt at work.

No such thing. 8 in the current inventory, and 4 on order... I may have more with handles and sheaths than Guy himself.

Touché. So 2 more couldn't hurt I guess

Silver Needle · Nov 25, 2015

Nice work, boys! Glad to see those GSOs finding homes with forum members.

Tinbanger, I respectfully disagree. There's no such thing as too many

Standard78 · Nov 25, 2015

And I thought I had a problem!

Did I miss a family pic of your full arsenal? Did you post one in the pic thread?

I have a couple in the mail. I will have the whole family together for the holidays. N2 (picked this up today), 2 x 3.5 (3V and 20CV), 3 x 4.1 (2 in 3V, 1 20 CV), 2 x 5.0 (including one en route), and if the good Lord blesses me with any of my starters... Oh, the joy! I love my family.

Silver Needle · Nov 25, 2015

Forte, that is awesome. I want to be like you when I grow up
