[Old Engineer]

5K Qs : Thank you very much for your very kinds words about the Trapper .
You are correct about the knives under it . I was Lucky enough to get the complete set of 8 Rogers Jigged Walnut Bone . They reside in their own little drawer .

Prestigious pair, Tyson; that ash handle is especially nice!

Thanks, Gary! The lamb was made by Ash ( ashwinearl ) and given to me by Generous Bob ( Rufus1949 ). It's a redwood burl handle.

Double dynamite, Barrett!
That coffin shield really caught my eye; how do you think that would look on a coffin pattern knife?

Thanks, GT. The shield was one of the things that drew me to that particular knife. I was fortunate enough to get to look through the all knives Mike had brought with him to Oregon the day before the OKCA show started, and that one jumped out at me right away. I went back and forth on whether to buy it (because they certainly are not inexpensive), but the fit and finish of Mike's knives in person really just blew me away, so before we all headed to the show Friday morning, I told him I'd take that one.

I do think a coffin shield on a coffin pattern would be fitting. I feel like I've seen that somewhere before, but perhaps I'm just thinking of Rufus1949 's coffin pattern Cosimo with the Grim Reaper shield. (Of course, knowing Bob, he might have one with a coffin shield, too.)

Was yours unsafe at any speed, Steve?
When I was shopping for my very first car in the summer of 1969, I test drove a Corvair, but decided I didn't want to get something weird (rear engine) for my first car.

No more so than a VW bug and square back.
Ralphie did not no the difference tween his arse and a whole in the ground.
The 1960 to 1964 Corvair had the same rear suspension design as the air cooled VW cars.
1965 to 1969 had the same as the Corvette IRS.
The '60-'64 Corvair was NOT a "race car" despite Ralph's claims.
Ralph did not "kill" the Corvair. Emission control legislation did. Air and oil cooled engines are harder to get to burn "clean".
I don't know why GM could not have developed a liquid cooled 6 cylinder boxer engine. Subaru had one ...
The Corvair was a much better/longer lasting car than the Vega.
