Such a cool picture with a fantastic background. Your skills keep improving, my friend. 🤠:thumbsup:
 
AHHhh ... Sunday Mornings :)
Cute girl across the street, my friend Jenny with the cats, called this morning and said sweetly, "Come on over, there's nobody home".
I thought well what the heck why not and went over. Nobody was home.

On another note ... primary tote for the main part of this gorgeous but quite chilly (so far) Sunday ...

Fejesgörbe (Head Curve): A traditional Hungarian knife, dating back to the early 1800s. Tibor Szankovits and his son Örs make these knives, following their forefather’s traditional techniques.
“We personally sell our knives only in Szentendre. We believe that our customers have to touch the knives to get a closer relationship with them before they can choose the best one. Choosing the right knife is a lifelong decision” ~ Tibor Szankovits

I bought this one secondhand out of Pennsylvania where there is a Hungarian immigrant community. Not a bad little pocket knife. Not bad at all. Would love to visit their shop.

Having ended the experiment and going back to my sinfull ways as an incurable knife knut, I have my daily rotation with me. In addition to my ever present Wenger SI in its belt pouch with the LED light, I have my old yellow peanut back in my right pocket. My classic is back on my keyring, and I feel like all is back as it should be. And in memory of my dear old Uncle Paul, I even tucked a very old Christy knife in my tobacco pouch, just in case.

What are you guys carrying today?

One knife a foldout Kukri. I was taught martial
Arts from age 8 and it most resembled the edged weapons I learned in Baji, Judo, Budotaijutsu and Wing Chun Kung Fu.
The kukri blade is beautiful and as a combat/all duty blade it is excellent for combat. The kukri traditionally is swung similar to a baseball bat in wide arcs with great force. This large field of danger is useful and once the actual slashing action is mastered it can be as simple as slashing and advancing keeping your opponent off balance or defensive until a single slash makes it through. The scalpel sharp angled and bent blade make it make contact in the most effective angle and while continuing the slash deepens due to the blades shape.
Common elder times battlefield weapon (still used by some armies and special ops ppl) between ferocity, the motion and the blade shape it wasn’t that uncommon to behead with a large kukri similar to a machete but more returned and strong blade

If I remember correctly , yours was the one that I saw that made me want one like it . That was back in the day of when GECs stayed on the shelves for a while . I was able to buy 3 of the Stag 73s in 2015 . I gifted One that year to a Grandson . Do you remember how half/stop Ron ended getting one also ???? Thanks for being an Enabler my friend .

Harry, I don't recall exactly how Ron came by his but it may have been he bought one from me? I somewhat regret parting with that one (no shield) but knowing it went to Ron made parting with it easy :) and in regards to enabling, you my friend are guilty as well 😁

Thanks Mike !!! ... And so true. Just wish I could mail order Szankovits but as Tibor stated, they only sell from their shop. No dealers either.
They don't even answer email !!! ... May not speak English though and I don't speak Hungarian (magyar)
