Thanks Colonel! Now for part two. Phil sent me his 8OT. Those old fat stag handles were destined to go nowhere. Now they are going to to another 8OT. Surgery is scheduled for later today. I'll be back with a patient update later ::nod::

Got the knife back today Randy, this thing is beautiful. I was wrong about one thing though, it wasn't that hard to put it in my pocket, I'm having a heck of a time leaving it there though. Can't stop looking at it. Thank you very much.

Glad it made it home into your pocket Jim! I'm very pleased that you like it ::tu:: I had to fight the urge to keep it a couple of days more... I thought about letting ride in my pocket for a few days. But then I felt that feeling of anticipation that you must have been feeling ::nod:: It was hard to see it go! ::super_happy::
