Toxic fumes...Is it me, or is there some sort of ghostly Spam spirit hovering above the empty can?
If you coined that, Will, you deserve some official recognition!

I think you'll find that as you age/get older and your plumbing gets a bit more catywompus that your farts will become a bit more moist and not just blow away with the wind. They will hang around you like a green cloud.
Scagel style cut out nail nick. I like the sound of that. Also, welcome back Barry.Well, I haven't posted for awhile due mostly to time constraints lately, but I will go ahead and chime in. As Charlie said in an earlier post, Spark willing, I will handle the distribution of the 2021 BF club knife. Details are not available yet as to purchasing specifics so please be patient while we figure it out. There will likely be different listings for one or two knives, US or international, etc.
As to the knife itself, the 86 is a beauty and I really like the bolster treatment. I think covers should be simple and consistent and so favor bone or wood. Stag is out for international distribution due to the recent and confusing laws concerning some materials including stag and some exotic woods. Smooth Autumn Gold bone or Osage Orange wood are my choices for covers. The blade is a good choice and probably most popular with members, but I would like to see something other than the common crescent nail nick; I'd like to see a French nail nick or perhaps a matchstrike style crescent or long nail nick. Maybe even a cut out nail nick like the Scagel models just to make it stand out from the ordinary. Whatever, I'm inclined to let Charlie and Bill work out the mfg. details and I'm fine with the results and very pleased that the forum knife is a GEC product again this year.
A final note: the secret handshake required to purchase the 2021 BF Club Knife was to be disclosed at the 2021 OKCA Show in April but will now be demonstrated at the next OKCA Show. (not really)
Your back will hurt if you cough the wrong way...So you got that to look forward too!My god, so much to look forward to in the autumn of our yearsI can't help making a connexion with Spam consumption and wind disturbances...
Is this Gaslighting?
Ron @Half/Stop loved Osage Orange... Just saying.
It would be cool to have Osage Orange in his honor this year.
Well said Ed . I could not have said it better . Growing Old is not for Young People .I think you'll find that as you age/get older and your plumbing gets a bit more catywompus that your farts will become a bit more moist and not just blow away with the wind. They will hang around you like a green cloud.
By Golly , there is a Spam Ghost after all .Did someone say Spam?
