This same day last year, I had my Nifebrite #71 Bull Nose in my pocket when we went to the hospital and my wife gave birth to our first kiddo, Eleanor. Here she is with that knife back then.
I had the same knife in my pocket today as we celebrated her first birthday. Here she is carrying it around the driveway.

Spent all yesterday in the woods with family and kids after a quick stop by the river. A great day!

You've got the real deal, Harry!! Superb stag, sir!
Oh it is matter of fact the other day my buddy saw it and asked what it was I told him. He then asked if he could see it before I handed it to him I warned him it was sharp. Well handing it back his finger is bleeding he says I never even felt it. I responded yep told you it was sharp.
Thanks, Mark. Sent you a PM (Conversation), but I doubt if it will be very helpful.GT, I like this JJ Martinez sodbuster and have been looking for one. . Can you help me with where you acquired this one?
Thx Mark
Thanks, Jack. I saw that someone called your hat from Cory and family a "chick magnet", but the chicks seem to think the "Est. 1902" on my Buck hat is my birth year....
Thanks pal, nice bunch of knives there, and I like your new hats![]()

You certainly have a fine variety of impressive stag, Pt-Luso!Today with a Bulldog in stag...

Thanks, Tom; I went on a bargain barlow binge for Independence Day. That BSK looks fantastic with any partner, any background!
Thanks, Jack. I saw that someone called your hat from Cory and family a "chick magnet", but the chicks seem to think the "Est. 1902" on my Buck hat is my birth year.The Barlow with the BSA etch on the bolster is made by Sarge; it's purported to be 440C stainless, a step up (as I understand it) from the 440A used on most of my stainless knives from Rough Rider, Colt, Marbles. The other Barlow, atop the red-and-white puzzle, is a Rite-Edge; someone here, but I don't remember who, was quite pleased with that model as a daily user.

Now you've out done yourself Gary. You know how I feel about your Halfrich rounder but this Foster is in the realm of jewelry. I know it's made to be used but I think I'll just stare at it. OUTSTANDING!Have a great Monday!
