Thanks, Jack! Those two you have with you are pretty classy too!
These are what I carried (very early) this morning for a fun and rewarding, though unsuccessful as far as duck gathering goes. Everything was there, except for the ducks. Great morning, anyway.

Lady Bird Lake
Reservoir
Lady Bird Lake is a river-like reservoir on the Colorado River in Austin, Texas, United States. The City of Austin created the reservoir in 1960 as a cooling pond for a new city power plant. The surface area of the lake is 416 acres, and it is currently used primarily for recreation and flood control…

Lady Bird Lake? Never heard of it. That looks like Town Lake, to me! (yes. I am old and curmudgeonly)
Groovy Churchill you got there. My ChristmaHanuKwanzaKah present to myself came today, and it went right into my pocket. Well...not right in, first I had to coon finger and chicken eye it for a good long spell.I'll be carrying it tomorrow.

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.

Yes indeed! In fact, our Goalkeeper, Adrianna Franch was just named 2017 CONCACAF Female Goalkeeper of the Year. She is quite accomplished.
Fine pair of knives you are carrying today, Jack!
In my haste this morning to snap some pictures of my chosen knives, I couldn't get the two staged together in a manner that I liked so I resorted to taking pictures of them separately. Carrying a knife with a spear main and a pen secondary calls for a second knife with a good straight edge. The Lambsfoot will suit nicely.
