Where in Louisiana did you overnight?

We stayed in Lake Charles. We didn't go out, except to buy some swim trunks (I forgot mine!) and to eat Chick-Fil-A (every southern child's favorite fast food joint).

We pass through Baton Rouge each time we make this trip. I did spent a couple of days in Monroe once when a couple of friends, my pastor, and I visited a sister church of ours coming back from a conference in Dallas. I've always wanted to try Boudin and Cracklins (I see the billboards everywhere), but I haven't worked up the courage.

There's a hardware store in Lake Charles that is a Case Platinum dealer. Walking into that place is like walking into FAO Schwarz!

I did some searching, and it sounds like you are talking about Trahan's hardware. There is one picture that shows their Case case. Looks impressive! There is a local hardware store where I live called Hall's Hardware that is also a platinum dealer. It is an awesome place to go--lots of unique things and a lot of useful hardware stuff, too. I talked to the "knife guy" there and tried to get him interested in GEC. I need to go back and see if he's checked them out yet.

Actually, I forgot about Trahan's. I was talking about Diamond Lumber. I did pick up Case Baby Doctor's knife from Trahan's, if I recall correctly. Diamond Lumber was on a completely different scale, though.

Beautiful knife, Paul! And the fixed blade isn't half bad either.

Seriously though, that Ironwood is stunning, makes for a gorgeous knife.

A little late to the party today but I've had these with me. Was just too darned busy to post them.

That DCL and gorgeous sheath steal the show (and hearts), Paul. Kudos and thanks for sharing.
