Judy, you make me quiver with anticipation for those pics; should they surface, please shoot them in my direction (it is damn cold in Chicago tonight, with snow for the twelvth time in ten days or something like that...damn this Cabernet for clouding my mind, but then I may be thinking Cabaret, Teri Hatcher in her underwear....ouch!)
But to the topic at hand! Bravely I must confess that I have finally found here and now the ultimate usage for my gen-you-wine Bill Bagwell hand-forged outrageously-sized Hell's Belle bowie, not to be confused with the lesser (and smaller) Ontario, a damn fine knife in its own right. Prancing around shedding myself of this uselessly masculine shell, I must say the Belle may well be the ultimate in butch accessory (which is what a few of my training partners may become should they stumble in here and read this miscontruation/ claptrap)
A close second would without a doubt be a BKT Brute (how appropos, oui?) for its sheer grace of forma and function and not that new Camillus jobbie either with the fancy Kydex sheath, I mean the Blackjack Effingham with the bigger heft and crappy sheath to boot. BJ leatherwork always has a way of leaving me feeling unprotected(?) Should I require something a bit daintier, perhaps to go with it as a companion piece, maybe for fun the Al Mar Eagle (older model of course, silly) with the every so masculine camoflage sheath and false edge, to maintain symmetry.
Me thinks time to wander into the Tequilla Coral and forget this ghoulish nightmare of garter belts, membership of an unmentionable nature, a serious bathing beauty and big big blades. Time for a little repression and discretion, gents and lady! or at least a solid hangover.
On the bright side, half in the bag and getting closer I did not stray to far into the "For Sale" forum
Happy New Year y'all, and Walt, this thread is a far better use of thse pages than you believe. I take my knives way the hell too seriously, the result of spending way too much money on this jones. Thanks for letting us mock ourselves and each other, man!
