That's a fine retirement gift - knife David. OH
Deep in the guts of most men is buried the involuntary response to the hunter's horn, a prickle of the nape hairs, an acceleration of the pulse, an atavistic memory of his fathers, who killed first with stone, and then with club...Robert Ruark

Re: my retirement knife
This is good advice. None of us can take tomorrow for granted. Whatever is special to you, enjoy it now. For some people, today will be their last chance.marcellusW wrote: ↑Tue Dec 10, 2019 6:14 pmMy unsolicited advice is to carry it now, at least on the weekends and vacation, if it can't be carried while working.BatJak wrote: ↑Mon Dec 09, 2019 8:01 pm Finally found one of these at a decent price.
This is reserved for retirement in about 5 or 6 years when my wife and I move to Eastern North Carolina.
We have a house near Plymouth but gonna move their soon... hopefully.
All I can think about is walking on the beach with my wife looking for seashells.
Having just survived a heart attack, my attitude has changed towards saving my stuff for later and special occasions.
But, that's just my take these days.

Re: my retirement knife
appreciate the advice, but this knife is reserved for retirement.
I won't carry it till retirement and if I can't carry it on the beach with my wife
then I don't want to carry it.
