Thanks Gary, your yellow CV Case is a classic!Welcome back, Nick! That's a fine Eric's Jack, but those aren't the original stag covers, are they? Very cool!
Terrific trio.It's snowy. I have three knives in my pockets. Everything's alright.
Nice post, Stuart.Thank you to all veterans for your service and particularly to those who sacrificed more than their time and effort. My stepfather, from whom I derived most of my knife collection, served as an Army veterinary officer in Korea. My paternal grandfather, an Army doctor, served in WWI. My father, who graduated from West Point on June 6, 1944, was an Airborne Ranger and Special Forces officer in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam, retiring in 1964. The latter two rest in Arlington National Cemetery. It wasn't unusual that I joined the Army ROTC in college in 1967, getting my officer's commission in 1971 and honorable discharge seven years later. However, the only thing that I put at risk was my liver during visits to the Officers' Club.
I attended a wreath laying ceremony this morning conducted by my American Legion Post, chatting in the sunshine with fellow members. Afterward, my son called to tell me that he had dropped a big buck and needed my help getting it home and butchered. It hit me that this morning embodied just a little of the freedom, the liberty, the pursuit of happiness that veterans secured for me and mine through their service and sacrifice. Again, with a grateful heart, thank you, VETS!
It is cool enough that we'll have a fire in the outdoor fire pit tonight, and Old Glory pictured above will receive a proper retirement.
Edited to add: Of the time that I was in the USAR, only a short summer camp (Ft. Bragg) and a 3 month Officer Basic Training (Ft. Benjamin Harrison) were active duty; the rest was asleep at the wheel.

It dosen't look welded to me, but when I saw the closeup, I had my questions upon seeing the tiny groove at the bottom of the bee ?"Don't worry" Nice Bee Gev
TY yeah i was lucky to find it. we got snow up here too. were expecting 25cm tonight. HAGD JeffThat rock with the veins of quartz and moss is a wonderful natural display for those equally wonderful knives.
The rocks I’ve been using to photograph my knives on are under a couple of inches of snow.View attachment 1230147View attachment 1230146
Thanks, my friend.Fantastic series of photos Kevin
Will for sure keep an eye on it my friend . The Bulldog Stag Barlow was made in Germany with Sheffield steel . I probably could post it only on days that end with a " G " or a " Y " .Yikes! Better keep an Eye on that TEW, Harry!
Is your stag Bulldog made in Germany? Maybe you should only carry it on days ending with a "G": Sonntag, Montag, Dienstag, ... (but NOT Mittwoch).
