I'm even more prolix than usual today ;) confined to quarters after a nasty accident last night at the country place. Just leaving, pitch dark and had no torch (f.light) with me heading towards the gate. Tripped over a bench fell face down in granite flints:eek: cut open the cheekbone, lots of blood but bruised 2 ribs cracked another :eek: Driving back was 'challenging' If I cough, laugh or move it's agony...face looks like I've had a punishment battering too :D All my fault, he who thinks he can see in the total dark, knows nothing....:(

I truly hope you’re ok, but your story should’ve started like this.....

”So there I was, investigating the strange beast outside with my favorite Kellam in my teeth. In the darkest hour of the night the beast jumped me. We battled for what seemed like hours but I was victorious. I hoisted my knife high above my head and let out a war cry, as a warning to all others that may challenge....”

That’s a story we could get behind:D:D:D
 
:D

Thanks for all the well wishes everybody:thumbsup:

Wish I could say I was a recovering idiot...;)

Been asleep most of the afternoon, now moving about and picking stuff up is a lot of pain. Face is gnarly alright :D:eek: 'patina' too-bruises especially. In the total blackness when I went down I first thought I'd been whacked in the face - jealous rival :D:cool: no such glory, just incompetence :rolleyes:

I certainly need a knife with a modest pull for the moment.....
 
I posted this else where but figured I'd throw it up here too. My 54 Big Jack that my lovely wife got me as a gift.

Man Will, heal fast my friend, I have been there, done that and ever since I ALWAYS carry and use a AAA flashlight. Don't watch any comedy's or anything for that matter that induces laughter:eek::thumbsup: maybe something to take the edge off;)

Thanks Jack, they are a really satisfying carry and user. This one's all blackened with patina now but I've got a mint reserve one too, just in case.....:cool:

They certainly did a lot of patterns including some more obscure ones e.g. Coffin Jack, Banana Trapper, no Barlow though. I'm missing the small Wharncliffe Pen/Congress but always hopeful- All have beautiful bone, most versions v.dark a few lighter but all have that great bark-like jigging.

Oh man, Will, so sorry to hear that. That makes me ache just hearing about it. Heal quickly friend and I’ll take a shot of bourbon on your behalf! ;)

Had my 76 Outlaw earlier, but switched over to the 65-69 #64047P Case red bone punch Stockman

Quite a stunning piece there, really like the extra punch blade over the normal stockman. I've grown fond of my new Case cv trapper, (and all my other new knives)but I almost always have a vintage knife pocketed as well. Also I finally scored a bit of Case redbone, now I see what all the fuss is all about,:thumbsup: Its one thing to see it in pics,but quite another in hand!

Thanks Ken! I've already had a shot of Maker's Mark myself :D But, getting out of bed this morning seemed to take forever, a nice blue stripe across the lower rib-cage....:eek:
