I had one of those mugs but the wife broke it...She was always jealous of that mug...I would of glued it, but we were out of glue...She used up all the glue ON PURPOSE!...
Craig, Thanks for the info! I was looking for a cup yesterday at work on my phone and did a Google search and up came the Lumber2 address but wasn't sure if it was the correct cup so had to wait til I got hom to check item # with my records, it's the one!
Thanks for the heads up Craig, if something needs finding! Jaysknives has the same Blue sign I have but don't know anything more bout it!, only met one other person that had one til now.
Every time my Case coffee mug gets washed I have this vision of it being dinged or broken. So I wanted a backup! My coffee tastes better in my Case Coffee mug.
You wanna see it - who are you trying to kid. Its gonna be great. The only fancy belt knife I had (other than military) was stolen from me in Vietnam in a crowd. It wasn't military, I think it was a Puma if I remember right. My K-Bars are my best, but this Buffalo Horn will be a looker, and I am not going to just look at it, I am going to wear it and use it.
Very nice, new knives, Craig. But, to be truthful, I am glad I don't collect Trappers or Mini Trappers because there is so much to collect. As you know, new jigging or bone color, etc. is not universal across all the patterns, but it seems that the Trapper is always included in whatever new scales are released. Whereas, with my Canoes it is hit or miss. Example, I wanted a Greek Key in the Canoe pattern - no luck - nor periwinkle, nor pinecone. My wallet is happier, and I don't have to buy display cases as often. Plus, the more limited production of Canoes frees up money to buy some Queens or Canal Streets or big ole fixed blades with fancy new steels. Boy was I happy (sort of) when the Butterbean went into the vault!
Because this is such a diverse group, I would like to say that my use of "Hillbilly" lingo on occasion is an homage (correct grammar when using the French pronunciation: "o-'maj" requires "an" as the article) or a form of endearment for friends I acquired over the years in the military and before when working as a cowboy. I mean no disrespect to any who speak with a colorful flair.
It's nice that you cleared that up Howard. As far as I know I haven't heard of anybody being upset and I think most are Proud of it and own it. I think if it as a strong individual that can do many things not the cartoon stereotype from when we were children, that was insulting.
But what do I know I'm up here and all citified.
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
"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. _______
"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."
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"
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!
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?
