Oh what a beauty that is!
I know this is a knife forum, but this has a relevance for knives, so bear with me. This dog of ours came to us through an unfortunate change in someones life. He came, chose us and has stayed. We don't have a need for hunting or guard dog, so this little Cavalier is just right for us. He has one job: to love his family and keep up the good spirits. He does his job 100%. He takes us for long walks, he shows his love every chance he gets. He has good manners with other dogs, so he does not get into trouble. Still he is no walkover. As he often is the older dog in a pack he puts misbehaving puppies in their place, even several times his size. He reminds once and then lets things be, like a good grownup should.
Like a good traditional knife. They have their place, they serve. They look good doing it. I have lost allmost all interest in tactical side of things, like I don't have a need for a german shepherd or pitt bull. To everyone his own, I don't judge anyone. Understand what is for you and follow the path, your own path. Beauty, balance and practicality go a long way.
So nice dogs and traditional knives are somewhat similar. They do not pretend to be anything else they are, they do not scare people around them. They just have a task and they fullfill their place with style and grace.
Sounds laughable, doesn't itJust a random thought.
Sure beats NY.(suburbs)I have been relaxing up in the mountains for the last couple days. Here's a couple pics.

Fresh polish and ready to go for wooden Wednesday.
Luckily it's solid ground underneath and it didn't fall. I was more worried it would fall on the grating and scratch that nice satin finish.All I can think of when I look at this picture is that, with my luck, the knife would have found its way down the grate. Hope your luck was better!
