Careful, they are strong! I don't know if one that big could take off with that knife or not

Scott, when I was a little feller in Orange County back in the late 40's and early 50's those things were everywhere. Seems like when they started showing up they were almost black and quite a bit smaller and then they grew into the big rascal that you had to fight off! I do remember they had a rather powerful kick so we didn't mess with them too often. Seems like most time when you threw one in the creek or canal that would simply swim to the shore without a fish looking at them. Not so with a regular green grasshopper or a black cricket, they never made it back to shore.


Great photos, as usual. What did the dog (Zeus, if I remember right) find?
Old Zeus found a water hole, and out in the desert that is a HELL of a find! I made a find too... let me search for the photos on that one...









I've never found anything that good in a field. Very nice knife!

Beautiful blade Scott!!
