Gorgeous knife - I've got one similar out on the coffee table!

I'm now actuely aware that I don't know any more than a monkey about classic Australian fare and fear that if I unexpectedly wound up in "the land down under" I'd be stuck eating a lot of "shrimp on the barbie" (learned from Ace Ventura) and "snags" (learned from the Guardians thread) - while trying to avoid the snake (which Crocodile Dundee insists "tastes like sh*t")!! 😂

This tool and some things I tinker with. A thumb protector for Asian archery (thumb draw) and a stick I have started to use when trekking (birch, so quite light and therefore not tiring to use when walking). I have used this tool or knife even in an edc role. Sheath is also self-made.

Thank you! Lil bit of time left for some leafy greens here in NE Ohio
 
Did my annual lung cancer screening this morning. I don't expect anything untoward, but then all those years of smoking may catch up to me some day. Hence the screening 🤓
Stopped at the Scotch store and Glenlivet Founders Reserve was on sale 👍 Then went by the hardware store and picked up a bottle of main line cleaner, Have to make sure not to get them mixed up 🥴
Howard was my companion. Used him to cut the wrist tag off after the screening.

Haha you're learning!

Jim Carrey is the man! It’s funny, we don’t actually call them shrimp in Aus. That originally came from an ad promoting Aussie tourism to the US and was done by Paul Hogan (crododile Dundee) after his success. Here they’re prawns, common fare around Christmas time.

You’re on the money with snags, proper Aussie lingo there 😁

I think it was a goanna in crocodile Dundee, never tried it but I’ve eaten kanagaroo enough times to agree with his sentiment! 🤢 crocodile is good though!

If you ever make it here just get yourself a meat pie, a lamington and a piece of pavlova and you’ll fit right in.

Also abbreviate everything…we can’t help ourselves.
