Sorry about the link Gary, I often have the same thing!Thanks for the positive reaction to the knives I posted, Jack, and for the info about your gloves.
Sounds like the Durahide is some kind of real leather. I've had a pair of split cowhide ski mittens for 45 years, and love the fact that they're virtually windproof. Like 'em so much that last time I had to buy everyday winter gloves, I found a split cowhide pair and I've been just as happy with those in terms of keeping my hands warm (although I usually keep all my fingers together in the palm of the glove most of the time because of poor circulation in several fingers).
(I kinda wish you hadn't done the search, too! I used your link, which was informative. But ever since clicking it, Mechanix gloves are popping up on whatever webpage I visit.)
They ARE good gloves though! 
I have a lot of pairs of Mechanix gloves, and as I know my sizing, that was one of the reasons I bought the Durahide pair from them, though they're still snug compared to the non-leather gloves. I rarely suffer with cold hands, even in winter, but I wear them when I am working. My new gloves are definitely leather, but Durahide also seems to be used as a name for faux-leather furniture, which is a bit confusing. One of the main reasons I bought leather gloves was for handling hot pots and pans around the camp fire. Your split cowhide gloves sound great, and even if they were expensive, have provided exceptional value after 45 years 
I really like your pictures that change the "usual" presentation of the knives.
All that glitters is not chestnut jigged bone!
(I don't think that old saying, "All that glitters is not gold" is saying what it intends to be saying. I think logicians and/or grammarians would prefer, "Not all that glitters is gold".
I'm glad I'm not the only one noticing.
Sorry about the link Gary, I often have the same thing!

Beautiful Lamb, Jack.
The stag handles look really good.
Happy Wednesday Everybody
Thank you, Jeff!I’m partial to that serpentine shape anyway, but you’ve got it gleaming better than factory new.
Wandering around the yard looking for photo ops.
Nice to know I’m not the only person acting strangely looking for good light, kneeling here, shaking my head, muttering...
American Knife Works. Have to check them out ~ beautiful chef’s knife, Joey!
Sweet! Those High Carbon trappers are not all that common, and that one’s in great condition. Is the Cattle a High Carbon as well? All I can make out is Made In USA.
Happy Birthday youngster
