What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

View attachment 1738766Off to see my neuroligist today. I usually see him once a year, but didn’t last year because of the Bat Bugs. I met this guy in 2012 when I was paralyzed from the neck down. He was at a major teaching hospital in Chicago at the time, and was completely stymied by my condition. All tests and biopsies were useless. After two fatal, but luckily false diagnoses, he sent me up to Mayo Clinic, where I met one of, if not the best neuros in the USofA. He recognized that I have CIDP, and started fixing me. Then he started educating my neuro in Chicago, and sent me back for more treatment and then months of rehab. I still remember the excitement of seeing a muscle twitch when I tried to raise my leg. I started yelling for the nurses, and one of them started crying, bless her heart. I have a deep affection and appreciation for nurses.
After 10 years, it’s still nice to see this doc. He helped me get back to normal~ ok, something likw normal, and I made him a better neurologist.
And now you know why I am always happy and grateful for a new day! Make the most of yours, ok?
That’s an amazing story, Jeff. I can see how that could change your outlook. Thanks for sharing.
The case swayback is a great pattern. I don’t think I’ve seen or heard of any fit and finish complaints on any of them.

I think I’m in the minority, but I didn’t use mine because it had a very weak main spring. I sent it back and they fixed it for free. Now it has great snap and I love carrying it. I agree they are great knives. 👍
 
A favorite TC...

Amazing story Jeff, you were so lucky to find health care workers and a doctor such as these. I'm so happy for you and your family to have come out of this horrific situation. I love reading stories like this!!! Nice knives and slides:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

I'm having a hard time finding a different way to post this knife everyday, since I've pretty much been carrying it everyday.
A picture of my EJ and the smartphone I usually take pictures with. The best I can do right now. :) ;)

I’m right there with you, Gary. I’ve been trying to mix in other knives, but when I do, I wish I was carrying my Eureka. I carried it again today.

I searched for a more appropriate thread for this but didn’t find anything. I’m just sitting here appreciating the European manufactured knives in my collection, and wanted to share. I suppose I have a thing for straight edges.
Great looking collection Jon. 😎👍
