Thanks, Kerry. Yeah, I think I'll be smiling for a few more days yet.

Hi Blues,

Just saw this post. Wow!!! That is one terrific knife. I have one by Tony in stag and love it.. Enjoy it in good health and make sure you carry it. I use a pouch and I think that is ok. But, expect ribbing by Tony if you tell him...

Thanks, Bob. (It's a nice companion to that J.B. Moore wharncliffe trapper I received from you not too long ago.)

Tony failed to admonish me about the use of pouches, so I hope he'll come on here and set the record straight. Jeez, the things a guy needs to know just to keep up around here!

(Of course, I thought the use of a pouch was just to prevent putting holes in your pants, not to protect some ol' knife... )

Well, I was gonna say kick me in the ass and call me Mary but I must've been thinking of someone else...

See?? Told ya so...

'course, there is an Aintgirly Waiver(BoseKnives Form 100a) for qualifying users who have all their available pockets full of knives. The use of a pouch is acceptable in that situation, that is if you are carrying said waiver on your person at all times. You have already seen the punishment for simply TALKING about pouches without the waiver. Multiply that by 10 if you actually USE a pouch.

So...Are these PocketKnives or PouchKnives?....Like a designer handbag?

Kerry, send me one of those forms will ya so I can escape the rantings of an old dog !!!!!!

Tough crowd. (I like it.)

I can see the "Wilfred Works Gazette" headline now:
