Case Teardrop just came this morning and I stuck it in my pocket. I bought it off the exchange from my friend kysteve. Great little knife for what ever reason I've never had a teardrop pattern before and I really like it.

Gary I agree with Jack that's one good looking knife.

A very interesting and intelligent question my friend :) In the ancient Cumbric language of Northern England (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumbric) pen also means 'top' or 'head', but I think the word 'pentrough' relates more directly to pen as in an enclosure, from the Old English pin or pinn, a bolted gate or structure made of pointed stakes. A weir is built across a river (in this case the River Porter), which causes some of its content to divert through a goit (or mill-race) into a dam (or mill-pond). At the end of the dam is a large gated wooden box which fills with water, this is the 'pentrough'. When the gate is opened, water flows onto the water-wheel, making it turn, and sending power to the grinding wheels by means of a series of gears or cogs and leather drive belts :)

Thanks for the enlightenment, Jack, makes sense. Looks like goit is a variant of gote, which I suspect is related to gutter.

Hooray for Dixie! Very pretty knife there Ron, Osage offers a decent contrast with dark patina. I need to carry my 73 liner lock in Osage more often :)

Regards, Will

Randy and Will thanks so much for the compliments on my Dixie Stockman. The Osage is definitely one of my favorite woods! Here's the flip side for Wooden Wednesday! :)
