I agree with Will that the bone SBJrs are splendid knives. I happen to have an example of each of the one's Jim and Will posted, so I'll jump on the bandwagon:

Breathtaking brace of Barlows and slips, Todd!
You sure take some stunning photos of some amazing knives, Dwight!
Top-notch Sudbuster!
I've only had the Dragon's Milk once; I enjoyed it, but it's a little too intense for me.
That jet black ebony is striking!
That's a dark, dignified pair of tools!
IMHO, the top knife is sublime!
(IMHO, the bottom one, not so much. Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic example of a Buck 110, but it's so heavy!)
Welcome back, Jack! I hope your trip was a rejuvenating change of scenery. Could you find a decent pint in the Canaries?
Great to have you (and your pet) home for the the holidays, Vince!
Thanks for the info, Bob. Are you an early riser by choice? I grew up on a dairy farm and that may have made me an early riser, too. But for the past 16 months, I've been waking at 2 or 3am, no matter what time I go to bed, and can't get back to sleep or sleep only very fitfully. I usually give up and get up at 4:30am most days, when the local news starts on TV.
Thanks, Jeff.
When our daughter was very young, I caught her trying to use some house and car keys in a wall outlet.
Congrats on the new Explorer; I think it's a great SAK. Have a great trip!

Thanks, Peter; I certainly am glad I still have it! I used the heck out of it until I went away to college, and then spent 45 years hardly ever carrying a knife!
I didn't know any better, I suppose, but I thought my scout knife with all of its indispensable tools was far superior to the clip/pen jack I used to have to borrow from my Dad if I needed to cut stuff!
Well, I hope your BF Bunny arrives soon, Jeff!
Can some of your "free range" mama cows be kind of savage, Bart? Our dairy cows interacted with us closely twice a day, so they seemed to never have much anxiety about our taking their calves.
That Case sowbelly stockman is a classic, even if it's not "classical"!
Simple, but effective, I'll bet, Bob!
Superb pair of knives, Steve! Really like both covers.
Welcome back, John! Nice pair to "break your fast". I've missed quite a bit of BF activity, especially in the first hall of December, and I thought you were notable by your absence when I got back to more regular participation.
Lambsfoot knives to ring out the old year:
