Good to see that you did Okay with your cataract surgery Charlie . Did you notice that White is now Whiter ???? Did you wonder where the Yellow went ????I've heard there was an imposter around, so I have changed my appearance to stay one step ahead of him!!View attachment 1455782
Not as obvious, but I also had my second cataract changed! Now I can see out of both eyes, equally!! I've seen the light!!![]()

I had my new BF Viper with me today. I’ve never really gone for any of the modern traditionals before, but I’m liking this one so far.

Your answer brought a chuckle from Nancy and I my friend . We both know what it is like . I have sometimes wondered when you and Joanne celebrate Thanksgiving ????Thanks Harry!!I noticed the color change before, but with the second eye done, White is REALLY white! I used to argue about color with Joanne (my artist wife!!) all the time!! Now I am better prepared!!

Thanks, Will. One of my best. I have to remember to close it slowly--it's more traditional: no blade stop. Great action, snaps firmly open.One of the very best knives on view in the Forum in recent times. I think I know what I'm talking about tooI'm very much not envious by nature but this knife tests even my equanimity..

That’s good to know, mine should be here sometime this week.Upcoming week's pocket stuffings - including the Boker Barlow Expedition and Alox Cadet for company. Just a note for anyone interested, the slightly rough texture of the matte micarta grabs and holds little pieces of the suede when I pull it from the slip, and the color of the handle turns more white-ish. May not be using a slip with this one.

I’ve seen these before, but it just struck me gazing at yours ~ Case did a masterpiece in designing that blade!
Never heard of that brand, so maybe it’s regional? Always been a King Oscar guy, or Beachcliff in a pinch.Been carrying this Case CV Sod Buster Jr. all day and when lunch time raised it's ugly head, I thought a "Tiny Tots" Sardine sandwich would be good. Any sardines would do but I particularly like "Tiny Tots". Lightly buttered bread, sardines, salt & pepper, lightly sprinkled with apple cider vinegar, and you're pretty close to heaven.

I looked out back this afternoon, and asked Vik “hey! Is that SNOW?It is a Windy , Cloudy , Sprinkley , and Snow Flurries type of day here . Played cards , went to get some apple cider and then Culvers , and now staying inside all the while with these in Slips , from CK and @sunknife , in my pockets . Ironwood and Pickle Knife.

I concur on that barehead jack, but must clarify one thing, Will.I could work my excellent teeth on thoseAs a European, I don't have the gleaming perfect teeth we see on the American media
![]()
But I do have every single tooth in my head and very few fillings, at least something right
at my ageDecided to lay off bread, I love all kinds of it but it doesn't love me at all....Oh yeah, that's a grand knife too, Barehead Spear, real taste-like the bread!
Regards, Will
I sometimes like some variety, and one thing i do is, open can, pour oil out and leave sardines in can and cover with any sort of vinegar, i like apple cider and malt, but it depends on your tastes. Leave it for at least half an hour but longer if you like.But they’re salty enough for me right out of the can
Nobody does, only celebrities, if you can call them that.Americans don’t have the white teeth you see on American tv, either.
