Very cool photo of that 26, Travman - really accentuates the sleeveboard pen knife pattern!
Terrific twosome, Tom, and it's good to see one of your tandem sheaths again!
Very vibrant, verdant photo, Jack!Based on the amount and color of the foliage reflected in the water, may I assume the pic wasn't taken at the flea market today??
Fine brassy higo, Kevin!
Tasteful timber "twins", Dylan!!
Very cool photo with the sunrise light, Steve (but, man, I'm not a fan of snow)!
Two fantastic knives, Alan, but it's hard for me to pay attention to the teardrop with that sublime canoe in the picture!
Glad I could strike a spark, FBC, and I look forward to your idea becoming reality!
Nice knife, Greg, and I was going to express my curiosity about a new-to-me crossword puzzle format, but I guess I must have seen it before about 366 days ago!
Looking forward to seeing your new Buck, H&S.(I'm not sure "over knifed" is even a thing!
)
Magnificent, Wayne!

Thank you, Jack. I assure you, Blade Rap is not referring to any musical ventures I might be entertaining...
Rather it is the term that is used in regards to the occurrence when the edge meets the swell/hump of the back spring inside the blade well when closing the knife. Usually results in a chipped or dinged blade when the user is not aware of this and snaps the knife closed. I wasn't aware of this and have opened and closed the knife a number of times simply because the action overall is so pleasing. As a result, I got a bit of a chip in the edge and I can see where it is hitting the back spring inside.
It will eventually sharpen out and there will come a time when I can enjoy its fine walk and talk again without fear of blade damage, but until then, I will just close it more carefully.
I think I got that term right, I merely capitalized it to add some dramatic flair to my statement.
Thanks, guys. The folks at Wrights did a fine job with that horn.
Today was a "work around the house" day so the chisel tipped Mora was called into hard work duty and the MAM sliced apples.
