Like I said Cannonball, never get tired of looking at that 22.
For 15 Friday, found a silver ring I thought I lost 4 years ago in a plastic baggie with some serious patina. Last I remember this ring it was new and shiny.

After acting as back up all week the little 22 is back in my pocket riding solo.

Carrying this one lately. I gotta tell the story.
So about a week before the great Loisiana flood of 2016, jake posts a few knives for sale. This is one of them. I had recently bought a saddle trapper 74 and a 2012 forum knife. I love double blade clip/wharncliff trappers. I had to have the 48 version. Paid up and he sent it off to me. Was schedule to arrive Monday the 15th.
Well, come Monday the 15th, while I was at work (we had evacuated the night before, when they shut down some pumps near me), and my road was about 8' underwater, and my house had a foot of water in it, we'll, the mail couldn't come. I texted jake (jsega) and let him know "hey man, I won't get that knife today, or maybe this week, so don't worry when you see it hasn't been delivered. I have to gut the house and get that straight but I will get it".
After a few texts back and forth, I see the money I paid him show up back in my account followed shortly by "don't you dare send that back or send the knife back". That from a stranger known only via the porch here and texting about bikes, cars and knives, amazing kinship.
Anyway, she's getting used good, jake! But I am fortunate. I'll hang on to that money awhile to make you happy, just in case I need it, but you gonna get it back. A deal is a deal lol.
The house is going back together. I had professionals dry and treat it. My neighbor is a contractor and already has sheet rock hung. He should start floating Monday. I have insurance so in a couple months it will all have only been a big inconvenience. I am getting a remodel out of the deal lol! But let me tell you that dealing with NFIP sucks. The government has completely screwed up flood insurance. 2.5 weeks since and still not a penny. People without are getting checks already and here I am paying 1100$ a year and can't get shit. Until then, im floating the cost and gonna pay myself back. OK. Done bitching. Lol. Sorry.
I had the 55 in my pocket yesterday.

Excellent carry choices Dean.
Your pockets are a happy place haven for cutlery today. GT has taught you well. Though, I think you have room for one or two more. :thumbup: :thumbup:![]()
