I thought I'd show another one here that I haven't shown yet. The Rooster Comb pattern in Iron Furnace Bone handles.

I keep them all in a gunsafe. I used to organize them by year so I could find them easily, but that system sort of died off over the years.

Sounds like a very nice set up ::nod:: ::tu:: ::tu:: ...

::hmm:: ... I have a radio📻 in my "Knife-Room" as well... it is the darndest thing as it only plays AM and most of the stations seem only to play commercials...One after another, after another ... ::shrug:: ... One time I heard what I guess they call "a talk show" ... ::skeptic:: Here is what the host talked about for most of the show: Buying gold, fixing erectile dysfunction, curing male pattern baldness, buying a lot of insurance you don't need for your third wife, and buying some kind of rain gutter that protects your house from leaves blown around during hurricanes... ::uc:: ...ohhh and there might have been about 45 seconds about politics.... ::shrug::

Looks like you need to add a few more TVs to your legendary collection to fill that open shelf in the safe, Carl! ::poke:: :lol:

Here are a couple newly released pickups from Ryan at the Lexington show a couple of weeks ago. I fell in love with Blue/Purple Crosscut, and of course I couldn't resist the other one with that Awesome DFKB Stag.

Speaking of Awesome DFKB Stag, I traded for another Phoenix Jack with a friend at the show. I already have this model in Stag, but I couldn't pass on the Sick Stag on this one.

holy moly, you got some killer stag now! I do like that purple/blue color of the crosscut too, very unique. Well done, you have some amazing examples of the Tuna knives.
