Beautiful, looks like you've had it since 1905 actually 🤣:cool: But mind how you go messing about with it on those rocks, nooks & crannies that can snatch a knife for ever....:eek: let alone a hundred and twenty years.....Burlap is some fantastic material, the Eureka a wonder :)

Thanks, Will

Well Will, funny you should say, that's actually how my GEC journey started😂
I'd picked up a black Delrin O1 steel 71 back in 2013/14?.
I thought it was the coolest new production knife you could get and was the first knife to nudge me away from the custom knife scene. Prior to that I was heavily into modifying Spyderco's to fit my "aesthetic".

I picked it up from what we call "Game Fairs" here? Like a Country/Hunting show. I ogled it on my dashboard all the way home!

Anyway a few months later I found myself out on the town after work and realised I had it still in my pocket and as back then trouble seemed to find me (:rolleyes:) I hid it in a stone wall!!
Nursing a hangover to next day I went back to collect it, needles to say I couldn't find it :mad:... I all but tore the wall down looking for it but no luck. Even a few weeks later I caught some workmen actually dismantling the wall to do some ground work and thought my luck was in, so pulled straight up on the curb in my van and hovered over them like a hawk waiting for it to show itself but nothing!
Now either they'd already found it and were just keeping quiet or it disappeared well before, maybe I was even spotted that night and like a low-down sticky-fingered magpie someone snook in straight after me 🤷‍♀️

Sounds like a "fun" day.
If you have to go "out & about" during that time, will they unblock your driveway, or will you have to take your bicycle?
(I heard SF is a "bicycle friendly" town ... other than some of the hills, of course ... Is that true?)

Seems like there is a "lesson to be learned" there. ;) 🤣
Maybe a different stone wall ? 🤔🤔🤔🐒
