Gary I have found that the older I get the easier it is to relax regardless!How can you relax in the presence of that monumental knife??
I think you're right about my enjoyment, Ron, but I doubt if I can get one of everything, so I've decided that I'd rather look for Spear and sheepsfoot on opposite ends (maybe like a GEC #79 Workhorse?) rather than the clip/sheep combo of the Churchill.
Dylan and Ron and Jack, love your red paired with your black!!![]()
We did, Gary. Just a beautiful day walking around with my daughter - I love looking at all the antiques and old tools.
No knives that tempted me, though. The usual plastic tubs full of huge Chinese zombie killers, and boxes full of trashed and rusty knives that even I would not try to ressurect!
I did buy a few things: some old Nicholson files for $1 each, an old leg trap to try to get that marauding boar coon that keeps destroying my bird feeders, and a couple of pieces of elk antler for knife handles...

I have a bad habit of owning a knife that I really like and then either selling or trading it away. Many knives come to mind but recently I've had luck bringing some off those knives back home. A Fremont in oiled bone was acquired in recent weeks and then this wonderful Walnut TC with Clip/Pen. Why I ever sold my last one baffles me
Well a big thank you goes out to forum member "Signalprick" as he treated me very fair on a trade plus cash to bring this one back home
The gunstock Walnut TC's are special to me because of the history behind the knife/knives. Happy to carry this one once again

Thanks, Gary. I can't bring myself to use it but I can't seem to keep it out of my pocket ether.I'm always smitten by your Black Box whittler, FBC, but it's just a "love tap" compared to the knockout punch of that ravishing stag stockman!!!![]()
Seems like a winning combination to me...
