Nice write-up, Vince. It's always fun to watch someone find their knife fit.

Thanks, John. Another pattern I have fallen in love with is the Thiers knife. I have a compact one and a full size one. They may be more beautiful --to me, anyway-- than the Laguiole and the Opinel, but they are just not that comfortable in the hand.

Congrats on finding a couple of knives with which you really connect, Vince! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:
The symbol coincidence is also fascinating. :)

Thanks, Gary. Incidentally, the knife I keep in the car, a Victorinox Classic (which I carried for years), also has a cross on it.

I apreciate your vehicular encomium!
You know you’re of a certain age when you remember the headlight dimmer was a switch on the floor, and when you wanted fresh air, you just rolled your window down with a crank. Cruise control meant a steady foot on the gas, and an eye on the speedo. If you needed another key, you went to the hardware or drug store and they ground a new one in two minutes.
The KEYS of my new car have more electronics than my first computer.
The car uses arrays of cameras and radar emitters to detect leaving your lane, and nudge you back, to detect when you come up behind someone, and brake or adjust the cruise control, or warn you of that goofball speeding through the parking lot as you try to back out.

Mrs Fleschwund wanted that package because she thinks I might be surfing blade forums on my cell phone while driving.:eek:
I personally think it’s a plot to condition me to welcome our coming robotic, self-driving car overlords.o_O

And because this is a knife forum, not an automotive one, I’m thinking of this hefty Buck to be my dedicated car knife.
Plus a TL-29, of course...View attachment 1482806That other thing will go in the car, too. It’s a US Army issue rescue tool from Ontario Knife Co. ~ comination window breaker, and seat belt cutter. Also has a ceramic rod knife sharpener. My son was issued it in A’stan. I hope I never need it!
Happy New Year, Gary!

Thanks!
I almost never look at the pics on my phone. I wait until I download them to my laptop. I shouldn't admit this, but I didn't notice the reflection until I was back inside sitting at the computer. I'd like to credit for creativity, but no... it was an accident :p
