Nice pair.
Great pic, of a great knife. I miss my 71! I should’ve hung onto it.Been carrying my traditional in a pouch that came with my Benchmade Bugout. It protects the knife and doubles as a cloth to wipe the blade with no extra pocket bulk.

Breathtaking bone bonanza right there!!
Hey, you got one, as hoped/predicted; congrats, John!
Congrats on a beautiful gift, Dean; that sycamore wood is sensational!Merry Christmas to all!
My lovely wife gave me this Case Saddlehorn in Sycamore Wood today. We have many Sycamore trees here in Central Ohio and I frequently see them on hikes. They are usually near water which means rivers, creeks and streams here.

It's probably totally worth it!Truth be told, I ate some of the cookies before taking this picture. Someone might get a cookie dish that's light by a handful.![]()
There might be a trip to the doghouse in my future!

Thanks for the report, Jeff; what a great Christmas activity!!Well caroling in the physical rehab hospital is over. Such a good time, it’s hard to describe. Struggled a bit singing in this elevated low oxygen air, but that’s life. No one complained, and I think they all appreciated not being forgotten on Christmas. Forgive me for not doing this more often!View attachment 1254283

Another charming couple of knives, JJ; I'm a real fan of spey blades, and love the looks of your Catt!
Why can't we all just get along? They should learn to share a pocket; they go great together!!
Thanks, Alan.No misconception Gary, you had the right idea just the wrong tree.
Thanks, John.That makes it very unique.
I like it better than the long and thin spey of the original.![]()
Thanks for the kind words, Shawn, and same to you!...
5K Qs Thank you, GT! I had fallen all the way back to Monday in this thread, and I truly enjoyed your more frequent postings here in the Totin' thread. Hope you've enjoyed the holidays, my friend.
