Holy moly what a looker! I'll bet its good in the hand! Sure like the upswept blade very nice choice. A real user there!
Not sure bout the sheath though, nice to protect the handle but could get rough on the hand trying to grab the handle. What do you think?

Great looking knife, Ken.  If you get out in the woods with it soon, let us know how you like the handle over on the current discussion of knife handles.  The round horn should be great!

I don't have an accent.  I speak normal.  Everybody else has accents.

As a "A" hillbilly who had to put up with too many college professor teaching "An" History of (fill in the blank). I'm pretty much sick and tired of seeing "an" place din front of any word that begins with a "H".  No if I was speaking that would be pronounced  "annaeche"

More Mule Trains

"Mule train, yeah, yeah.
Mule train: clippetty-clopping over hill and plain.
Seems as how they'll never stop.
Clippetty-clop, clippetty-clop, clippetty, clippetty,
clippetty, clippetty, clippetty-clopping along."

Tobias & Howard: you are right ;=):

"The first pronunciation of "homage" given in the American Heritage Dictionary is with the initial H pronounced; thus, the phrase would be A homage. And, the accent is on the first syllable. Words with stressed first syllables beginning with H are usually pronounced with the H sound, and these words take A: a hamlet, a history class, a happy fellow. But there is a second pronunciation of "homage," with a silent H, and in this case, the phrase would be AN homage. The word comes from the French, and if you stick to the French pronunciation -- with the accent on the second syllable -- there is no H sound, so the AN is used. _______ Here's a previous thread from the GE about whether or not to use A or AN before words that begin with H: http://thegrammarexchange.info...501089744#4501089744"

Howard, as a student of history and having put up with too many people  using such a phrase, I find your use of such a term a tad on the annoying side.  it is "A" Homage and not "An" Homage!

As for the hillbilly comment, I prefer the more refined term of "Mountain William"   hain't no nevermind, though, no offense  taken.  Words need to be taken in context
