Thank you, Gary!I hope you have a fantastic summer vacation! It's certainly starting off with a bang with that sublime GEC lambsfoot!
I had no idea that wild boar piglets had that type of markings on their hides!They remind me of the 13-line ground squirrels we have where I live. Thanks for the calendar page, Will!

I didn't realize that asparagus could grow for decades! I don't think I even knew that it was a perennial. Best wishes that your new bed gets off to a good start.
3 handy and handsome working knives!
Congrats on picking up one of those memorable Swayback Jacks, Tim; outstanding knife!
Mike, there are folks here who almost invariably post photos of amazing quality, but you can count on me to do my part to keep the average picture quality from getting too high.
Wow! IMHO, a Buck 110 is WAY more appealing with a drop point blade! Yours is a beauty, ED!
Such a classic jackknife pattern, and phenomenal jigging!
Dashing dark duo for Black Friday, Steve!
I'm usually not a fan of clip blades, but your black Stallion is superb!
(When I was a kid, I read a bunch of books written by Walter Farley about a Black Stallion. Those were exciting reads!)
The jigging on your Swayback Jack is sensational!
Congrats on that supreme Case stockman, and accolades to ED for his thoughtful generosity!
FWIW, I have a Kingston cattle knife with USA tang stamp that appears in their 1947 catalog, but it's obviously not the same as David's.

Poor health, a negative prognosis, and a poor quality of life beckoned DirtDawg Bella down the trail to the other side yesterday morning. May she rest in peace. My little trail buddy will be sorely missed, but I will cherish the memories of the past 13-1/2 years of her companionship. I hope it's true that all dogs go to Heaven.
