What kind of folder do you carry?

[Mike157]

Not for carrying but to just fondle and admire the exquisite milling details of this Zmei Gorynych (faux dragon scales):

Is that a Shiro collaboration? Pretty darn nice looking! Mike

Yes Mike, here's the fully bloomed version but no bear markings

 

[Mike157]

Yes Mike, here's the fully bloomed version but no bear markings

Very nice! Thank you, Mat. Mike

 

[Lorien]

that certainly is no pos

 

[betzner]

Even I, who CANNOT STAND ANYTHING SHIRO (or Rusky-made, for that matter), think it's lovely.

if it weren't for Russians, I wouldn't be here!

Hypothetical question: If Nathan and Shirogorov collaborated on an exceptional folder, would Bob buy it?

 

[JustinFournier]

Well done Sir!

Yes Mike, here's the fully bloomed version but no bear markings

if it weren't for Russians, I wouldn't be here!

AND YET ANOTHER REASON, LOL!!

Good question!

 

[Lorien]

ouch

 

[betzner]

Now, about ALL titanium folders of color, when will the anodization process finally result in PERMANENT colors that we users can't rub off?

 

[betzner]

ouch

I would be "there" too, if it weren't for the wisdom of my grandfather, who finally immigrated to the US from Canada in the 20s, many generations after my great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather settled in Canada in 1799, moving there from the US:

which makes me a ninth generation North American but a second generation American. At age seven, my grandfather literally sat me down on his knee as he wrote down in my Sunday school bible, every name of each grandfather, starting with him, right down to my ancestor shown on the tombstone, buried in Pioneer cemetery near what used to be Berlin, Ontario, but wisely changed in name to Kitchener right before WWI.

His brother who stayed in America died in the Revolutionary War.

And if a certain current US President is re-elected, I may be the next Betzner to do as the first one did.

What an informative head stone. So interesting. Ancestory.com before the digital age! Mike

Family custom, starting with the original settler to North America named on the headstone, was to outline the family lineage to each new "member" on his or her seventh birthday, both orally and in writing, so the story goes.

 

[Lorien]

my family history is a clusterf*ck. We're back on track now, though. For now

Accept the wisdom of your grandfather...
