Tuesday I turned another year older. Wednesday I locked my keys in my office for the first time ever, and I missed an entire page of this thread when I tried to post here!
Senior moments are suddenly dominating my life!!
I'll start with some "catch-up".
Thanks, Jack.
I could go on and on about what a great conversation piece my lady leg knife is.
Saturnalia Bacchanalia has a nice ring to it
, but I learned long ago that I'm not much of a wine or spirits guy, just beer. My daughter IS quite thoughtful most of the time.
Congrats on the new LH Buck 119!
I thought you'd be struck by the resemblance between your 2OT and a#77 Yankee Jack. My daughter is a much better person than I'll ever be.
Thanks, Gev; she's also more of a power hitter than I ever was!
That's a comely couple of cutters, Jer!
That Western looks very desirable; ignoring the sweet voice of reason seems to be a way of life for Porch dwellers!
Thanks, Mark.
Splendid stag, Ron!
Thanks, Barrett.
Glad you and yours made the trip safely.
You didn't drive the Checker, eh?
Various of my body parts start complaining after 2 hours of driving these days; and 18+ hour trip is inconceivable to me now!
Those two knives of yours seem to have a thing going on together, Jack!! I'd watch them closely!
Thanks, Dirk; it's fun to carry at this time of year (but at 4 5/8" closed, it's a burden).
That's a great photo of a fabulous knife, Dschal!
Thanks for the info about Pruner/Hawk Bill blades, but I was just wondering how much of the "hook" your guano pruner was missing due to usage. What you say about the extra holes in the Empire is more plausible than my bail conjecture. Thanks for the Christmas canoe feedback.
Thanks for setting me right, Rachel.
Looks like a slender, stylish slicer!
That dark duo has some staying power, Dylan!
Thanks for the kind words about my birthday and my daughter's gift. That model is called a laguiole, a pattern that originated in France; the pattern often has a "fly" on the backspring, some fancy pinwork in the handles (often a cross, I think), and some filework. The examples of the pattern that I've seen typically have a very slender blade and handle, unlike the one I now have. I did some research and found the maker (or at least distributor in Spain) of my new knife, and it's called a laguiole-caza, or "hunting laguiole" which may account for its beefier appearance.

Handsome black/white pairing, Ron!
I'm suffering ebony lambsfoot envy, FBC!
That's a cool pic!
That's some jaw-dropping jigging, Jeff!
Thanks, Tom.
(I notice that the BF spellchecker changed "linerless" to "liners", against my will!
) An enchanting twosome for you today (or whatever day you posted this)!
Stuart, unlike Pomsbz, I was about to remark on the unbelievable bone on the OTHER jack (trapper?).
r8shell, your Guardians Lambsfoot is a shimmering vision!
