Thanks for the Keen Kutter Kompliment, Dean.For some reason, your pic made me think you'd gone to visit some Hobbits!
Here are some knives currently on kitchen duty:

It's the only Spey I've ever really likedThanks a lot Dean, when I was a youngster I used to quite enjoy day-hikes in the rain! I'm not so keen on them now, but fortunately, while cold, it stayed dry, more or less

That's one of the few I regret getting rid of... kept an African Blackwood version, but wish I had held onto the green pick bone...
Great photo of a lovely knife !!

Sweet looking knife, Ace. Are you referring to a dye job on the handle and did you do it? BTW, I removed the cover, dropped the top, and took my open air car out for a spin today, too. What a great day to tool about!It was 66 degrees this afternoon, so I uncovered the roadster and we went for a nice little drive. Back home I put the cover on and switched to my standard around-home "uniform" of Walmart khakis, tee shirt, and flannel shirt, along with my regular companion of late: Rough Rider RR081 lockback (lookin' good posed on the car cover and with that new brown dye job).

Beautiful covers. Is that their Curly Zebrawood?
Had the ex in laws in town from Maine today (this week actually). Hosting a Christmas party so for the first time they can be here when their grandchildren open their gifts (boy is 16, girl is 6). My ex stepson came over for it. They had some lobsters sent down ahead of time. First time this coonass ever cooked lobster. They say it came out right. Personally, I would have done it in crab boil with taters and corn but that’s not how they say it should be done! Plus I made a big gumbo to go along. These two helped me. I wish I had an in action photo. The fixed blade is a new one from a local knife maker and friend @autogateman
This is what a pile of coonasses leaves behind from a pile of lobster.
