Rise-n-shine:) ??


Been up for hours already .. kids on the bus by 6:30 and then had to deal with misbehaving cows that weren't where they were supposed to be. 71 degrees 95% humidity, itchy from hay, sweating my butt off chasing 3 stupid heifers around the pasture. Usually they're good, come when called or can be baited with feed. Maybe they could sense that I wanted to stab em in the eye with my Asp?? :)

I'm back to my coffee and now it is a good morning. Good morning everyone!

I noticed the humidity this morning too.
I took Max out around 5:45 this morning and felt it instantly. I went back inside to feed him & flipped on the news at just the right moment. The meteorologist was mid-sentence " ..,..and you will feel the humidity early this morning" .....uggggghh it's not even May yet

VANCE VANCE Care to share any blade length, handle length, OAL specs on the Bushbootie or Lil Lady?

right know all I can tell definitely is the OAL. None of them have scales on them yet.

Babyboot
5 3/4" OAL..it looks like it will be around a 2 1/2" blade

Lil Lady
7" OAL...it looks like it's going to have approx. 3 1/4" blade

Hmmmmm... Sounds like it would be right up my ally for an EDC! Hoping to see one in person next week! :D
 
upon further inspection and second opinions

you are correct. i will modify the thread
 
You know what is funny though, Camelthorn is also called Desert Ironwood.

So we have Arizona/South Western Desert Ironwood and African Desert Ironwood...

Which I believe to be Olneya tesota and Vachellia/Acacia erioloba respectively

Good case study for common name v. presentation v. classification
 
I like the light and medium color tones of Camel Thorn. I will be curious to see if it darkens with age like Arizona Desert Ironwood does.

I haven't participated in a Friday in a while. I wish I would have looked earlier I would have tried for the Bushboot and the Sneaky Pete, beautiful blades! Congrats to those that are quick

Make it yours sooner than later! Then when you pack, it's all still true:

"Oh, this thing? Yeah, I own it. In it goes."
