Very nice John. ::tu:: ::tu:: I'm a sucker for Alox and been eyeballing the Orange ones. Not decided yet. I'm still stuck on the Silvers and Reds.

But anyway, I received this one today from that Jungle store on the interweb. Why????? ::shrug::...... I don't know, ::facepalm::.... I just like SAKs and Alox. It's a 3-3/8 single blade single tool Officier Suisse. Plus, I figured it will make a good companion with my other large single blade I ordered out of the bay over a week ago that hasn't gotten here yet because I didn't pay attention to see where it was coming from.........Switzerland. ::dang::

Here is the one I got today.

I've always related myself to a Magpie. They're related to Crows. A Parliament of Magpies. A Murder of Crows.

But I just found out I've been wrong all these years.
Wikipedia:
"Magpies do not steal trinkets and are positively scared of shiny objects, according to new research. The study appears to refute the myth of the “thieving magpie”, which pervades European folklore. It is widely believed that magpies have a compulsive urge to steal sparkly things for their nests."
