Hey geocash,

Love that Tuxedo! Very cool knife! Are most Tuxedo knives that small. I've never had one.
What's the two headed Whatchamacallit?

Tom
Thanks Tom. I have this & another Tuxedo that are both 3" L, one that is 2 7/8" L & a fourth that is 3 1/4" L. I believe they're typical. And that "thing" is my talisman, or the closest thing I've got to a talisman. I found it in a creek bank 50 or 60 years ago & thought it was neat. About 10 years ago I learned it's actually a part of a belt that was in use in the South around the Civil War & may have been cast in Great Britain. Someone posted a picture of one on here within the last year that was almost identical to mine & they were in Australia if I recall correctly.

Thanks for the info!

Your talisman is extremely cool!

Wish I had one of those that was really that old. Don't ever lose that Bad Boy!

I live about 1/2 to 1 mile from the boundary of the National Forest. It's a beautiful day and I think I'm going to go for a walk. These two accessories should take care of any vicious moles, squirrels, chipmunks or meth-heads that I might encounter. (We actually do have bears, mountain lions and other assorted "game.") The movie scene is from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. A true Christmas classic in every sense of the word.

Cool!

Thanks for posting yours so that we can compare the two.

Here's an idea, yours was found near a creek, his (geocash's) was found in a creek on different sides of the globe. This leads me to think they may have had something to do with British soldiers & maybe something to do with belts or canteens?

Maybe?

I found an old tobacco pipe head in a creek as a kid. I'll see if I can find it and post it here with my EDC'c on the weekend.

Nice toothpick!

Gotta run,
Tom
