Can anyone help educate me to the age of the Zulu pattern, I can’t find much from digging.

Today is Confederate Memorial Day ... Still a State Holiday here in Alabama as well as Mississippi and South Carolina.
And still observed in Kentucky, Florida, North Carolina, Texas and Tennessee. Formerly recognized in Georgia, Louisiana and Virginia.
U.S. Mail still ran today ... Confederate Memorial Day is not a Federal Holiday of course LOL.

Enjoying the day with a CASE COPPERHEAD and scents of Confederate Jasmine in bloom in the sanctuary behind the house.
Just came into bloom three days ago, so will become much more profuse in the coming days.

My Great Great Grandfather was a Captain in the Alabama 58th and wounded at the Battle of Chickamauga in September 1863.
Subsequently he was in poor health the remainder of his life and was skin and bones in this picture taken shortly before his passing in 1892.
The fella on the tri-cycle? ... I knew him. My Great Grandfather didn't pass on until 1968 (when I was 15). Spent lots of enjoyable time up on his farm in the country.
Ghosts that are with me.

EDIT: The fella on the tri-cycle in the picture above is pictured standing right in the picture below
Taken on the occasion of the yearly YMCA Father/Son Banquet in 1961
We had the most family generations present that night ... 4 generations
That's me seated left

U.S. Mail was running last Thursday, too. It was San Jacinto Day, a state holiday here in Texas, commemorating Sam Houston's defeat of Santa Ana near present-day Houston on April 21, 1836, several weeks after independence was declared (March 2).
Beautiful copperhead ya got there.

The Böker Boys Knife today

What are those covers???

 

[bigfish64]

This Boker is finding its way into my pocket more and more.
Saw my first Rose Breasted Grosbeak of the season. They've just returned from their winter range that spans central Mexico, Central America and northern South America.

Those are gorgeous knives Gary. I have the Micarta and castle burg, outstanding knives.

Great pair of knives, and that turtle is really handsome.

Thanks John, the turtles are fun.

Lovin' that Ocoee Jack, Todd!

Thanks Jim.

Beautiful Boker and background Gary !
One of my favorite birds, the Rose Breasted Grosbeak.
They come through here, migrating every spring. They usually come in small flocks.
One of my old photos of one I chased around with my camera. :

Thanks! Not sure what the attraction is exactly, but the knife is capable of my EDC needs, looks great and is a real comfortable carry. I really made it mine when I put it on the Worksharp. I was happy with the results.
Awesome pic of the Grosbeak! We've had them around our feeders every year, for many years now. I always look forward to their return in the spring. We get multiple males, females and their young.

Have a good week everyone Starting mine with my Hartshead Barlow, and a Vic Bantam for Metal Monday

I'm a huge fan of the Swiss knives, especially the metal Vics; it makes a handy and attractive partner for your Hartshead Lambsfoot beauty, too!
