I've got last year's forum knife today. Part of me really wants to patina those blades and another part loves to keep them shiny.

Great picture, Paul, complete with pjake background. ;)



When I was small, our black-and-white TV got three channels, on which the Red Sox appeared semi-regularly (upstate NH). One of my first favorite players was George "Boomer" Scott; my mother would call me when he was up to bat, I'd come watch him strike out then go back to playing. A big treat was visiting my grandfather in Manchester. He had a color console TV, 12 or more channels, and most of the Red Sox games. Many nights at his house I'd fall asleep on the couch in his den, watching and then listening to the Red Sox lose. Carlton Fisk was my next favorite player; imagine my excitement at watching his Game 6 home run when I was 10 years old. I even got a special patch commemorating that home run, which I sadly lost with the jean jacket it was affixed to one 4th of July (I'd set my jacket down, then got up and left without it in the dark, post-fireworks.) I first visited Fenway Park on my honeymoon. Chills upon seeing the field, after all those years of tv-screen views. Fast-forward to 2004: a routine ground ball back to the pitcher, a throw to first, and the Red Sox win the World Series. Thinking about that still brings tears, not least because: never have I missed my grandfather more than I did that night, when I couldn't call him and share the moment after all those years. Everything since then has been gravy, ie, it's nice if they win, but it turns out I really only needed to watch them do it once.

Yes. :)

That sure is a mighty fine knife:thumbup: when I finally get my hands on one I am going to blue the blades as dark as I can get them :D
 
I'm adding a new knife to my Sunday rotation. Usually I carry my Bulldog 3rd generation pearl trapper,
but today I grabbed the primitive bone Maverick.
