Ours is not to reason why...I like pen knife set-up better than jack set-up, and I'm not sure why either.

That's really funny...

I've seen a lot of those iconic knives lately; yours is grand!
I sure wish Case offered that specific pen blade on a round-bolstered pattern. I may have to overcome my bias against square-bolstered knives just to satisfy my curiosity about that unique pen blade.
Immaculate, Dean!

Late posting today, as I managed to scald the back of my hand making morning coffeeI'm glad I keep a decent first-aid kit
What a week
Hope everyone has made it through unscathed, and that you have a good weekend

Thank you, Jack. Sorry to hear about your burn. I like your Vendetta knife and the iconic V for Vendetta background.
We had a great and long hike yesterday.![]()
