Thanks very much my friend . Grand-dogs and Grand-kids are much alike in that , it is great to have them and it is sometimes great , but lonely , when they leave . This big black dog is just a fabulous dog though , as I am sure Loki is too . Bell will be here a couple of more days while her Dad & Mom are here to spend some time in the area with their new Grandson , born yesterday .A lump of pure love, Harry. Thanks for sharing. Loki could fit right in to your household (I'll send food, too).

Shawn, your knives often surpass mine in quality, and now you're starting to catch me in the quantity you carry!!...
I've got a new-to-me Fiddleback Forge Handyman with me today. It's a bit of a chonker with the 1/8" A2 steel, but it is very comfy in hand. I'll have to play with it for a while to see if the thick steel grows on me. Joining it today is my Withrow, Lloyd, and Peanut. My leather belt sheath for my BF301 is so comfy I forgot it was on my hip when I went to take this picture. Have a great day everyone.

Thanks for the story behind the "new look" Eric's Jack, Nick.Thanks Gary, your yellow CV Case is a classic!
You’re correct about the stag covers on my Eric’s jack. It came with uneven thickness on the covers so I sanded them down to where I like them and then hit it with some potassium permanganate. Came out pretty decent I’d say.
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 " .

Tremendous and thoughtful tribute, David!In all honesty I didn't carry all of these today,but given what to day is seems appropriate to share them
