Oh, that Red Saw Cut really does it for me.
. GEC did a beautiful job on this bone and I hope to see it used more in the not so distant future.
But when Mike Latham claimed this year's Forum Knife had scales like Raccoon turds...I believe he'd got it confused with that Turdioute look

Thanks for the compliment Barrett! I wear shorts in the house most of the year. I’ve been guilty of going to the mailbox or rolling the trash to the curb in inclement weather. But never -15!That’s a great pair, Ron. Hope you’re staying warm, my friend!
I prefer wearing shorts around the house, even in the middle of winter. If I have to do something outside, I’ll do some quick mental math taking into account the temperature outdoors and the amount of time I might be out there to determine whether or not it’s worth changing. I have definitely worn shorts while shoveling snow (calm, sunny day around 30° or so, with boots and a jacket of course… I’m not crazy
I’ve still got my 2020 BF Viper with me, and I threw in this #77 with it today. (I actually think the color and jigging on this bone are a bit ugly, but for some reason I still like the knife.)
The new forum knife pairs nicely with that Tidioute #77. I agree that particular #77 may have been the ugly duckling from the run. But, hey, it is still a #77! 
Thanks John, it's been kept pristine for to long nowOh, that Red Saw Cut really does it for me.
That's very elegant for a Tidioute.
Wow! Don't think I've ever experienced temperatures below zero. Had to go north (Baltimore) for a few days to feel temps in the single digits above zero. I love south Texas!I have definitely worn shorts while shoveling snow (calm, sunny day around 30° or so, with boots and a jacket of course… I’m not crazy
Thank you very much !!! The S&M and the Northwoods are both very photogenicThat oldie has some outstanding character.
I'm liking a lot of the choices made by the posters here today.
I pocketed a Schatt heritage in rosewood and a Northwoods 15 Lincoln Jack in giraffe bone for todays carry.

I've been out walking in -42 C in Oulu a large town in northern Finland, not good I have to say even with fur helmet on etc. If you try shorts you may no longer have legs left But there ARE these maniacs who go ice dipping in a hole in a frozen lake- so glad I can't swim 
It's a great knife. I have this one and an ebony one and both are excellent. No side to side play but there is a little lock rock like most lock backs. The blade drops when you press the lock bar and is very smooth. The guard is solid once locked open. Fit and finish are excellent on both of my examples(i have an ebony one too) . I think it's a great carry knife. The steel seems to be heat treated properly and holds a good edge. My only negative and it's purely opinion is the bone is polished. I wish they had left it more matte similar to his customs. Especially with the satin shield and bolsters. Long story short I highly recommend this knife. Either for collecting and just looking at or for edc. My thumb can catch the milled nail nick in the blade and I can open it one handed. I do carry it in a large case sheath though and it fits perfectly. I wish I had bought the Damascus one too when I got the bone and ebony versions.
