Thanks, John.
Your post is an amazing coincidence!
This morning, like most mornings, I had ESPN Sports Center on the TV in the living room while I prepared breakfast in the kitchen. I happened to hear a brief mention of a minor league baseball team known as the Space Cowboys, and one of the ESPN anchors said to the other, "Some people call you the Space Cowboy, others call you the Gangster of Love". I thought this was an appropriate and hilarious reference to the Steve Miller Band's hit "The Joker" from back in the 1970s. But it also reminded me of an earlier Steve Miller Band hit titled "Space Cowboy" which I often heard on the 8-track tape system in a college buddy's 1963 Chevy Impala when we were freshmen in 1969-70. So I googled the song title to listen to "Space Cowboy" again. One of the links that came up was this one:

I watched it, enjoyed it, and while watching it decided I had to send the link to you, given your affection for Star Trek TOS and your cowboy background. Not long after watching the YouTube video, I saw your post quoted above, and said, "Coincidence ... or Grand Design??!?? I definitely have to send this to John!" Enjoy.

Jim's space shirts were pretty flimsy.
I think that toddler alien grew up to be an actor who didn't look much different.

The Black Cat and the blasted hill today.

Nice shot, The nail kills it.

 

[Sacto]

Those are such great knives

Those are going to become more and more precious as time passes.

I probably should stop using it but I like it too much not to use.

Ettrick and my two work buddies today.

Thank you Bart. I have been searching for awhile, since seeing yours.
The size and blade choices are perfect.

Very nice example of an ettrick.

Haha it was originally holding up the cat to reduce glare.

You aint ever going to use it up... Might as well start trying to though.

I'm sure the "work buddies" are even more useful than the knife.

Love the Scrimshaw Schrade's especially the Barlow and Stockman.
A beautiful pristine example you have.
Didn't they also have a Moose or Muskrat in the series?

I notice no "+" following "Schrade".
Are the scrimshaw series like the venerable Old Timer 858/858OT that they sometimes "forgot" the "+" but are still stainless blades?

(On the 858 they sometimes "forgot" the "OT", as well.
On my 858 they remembered the "+" but "forgot" the "OT" )

Thanks, Steve.
This Barlow doesn't have the +, but I have another knife that does.
I don't know why the difference.

Hopefully the fictional animal, not the food!
