    Hi Scott, thanks for the invite. Proud to except and sorry to have the first thing I read on your profile, is that your having surgery. Hope it's not anything too major and that it all works out for ya. Your right about my being a sucker for the old ones and really enjoyed checking out your ol' Elephant Toenails.(and other knives) I have to admit, that's one pattern I've never included in my collection. It hadn't dawned on me until just a short time back how old that pattern is, but it's been around quite a spell, huh? Anyway, I'm real glad to be part of the forum. In the short time I've been here, I've already met up with some mighty fine folks. I haven't tried to post any pics yet but will give it a shot ASAP. Thanks again for the invite and good luck with your surgery, Rob

    Be willing to bet that the NING security protocols are working. Read somewhere that "they've" got folks paid to read them catcha codes.

    Real fine.
    (As usual, the turkey stuffed me.)

    Slow-downs aren't necessarily a bad thing, as long as there is a good rebound. Too many folks are unsure of what the new year will hold for them, in the way of extra taxes and fees. Hope the new Congress can get things going again.

    Your "Christmas Wish List" really brought folks back into town.

    HO, HO, HO.

    You know what, I just can't seem to come up with one single knife I would ask for if money were not an option.  Been out of the knife game too long and even when i have money I spend hours looking trying to pick the one I want, that day, at my favourite store.

    When I figure out my way around the place I will post pictures and comments.

    Thanks for the birthday wishes... sorry for the slow response was out of town at my daughters wedding since Thur evening.

  • William Bilbro

    Scott,

    I think your question "If money were no object what knife would you get for Christmas?" has triggered so many interesting responses that the whole thread would make an excellent book. I bet you've already thought of this. If so, count me as a wild and wooly "YES YES YES! DO IT!".

    If you consider each knife chosen as a vote for that knife, they are all votes. I bet Bob Loveless' stuff would come out on top.

     

    But even that aside, to publish each comment along with a photograph of its referenced knife would be fascinating. It would be another reason to buy a fancy book with lots of pictures of knives.

     

    Just thinkin'. Thanks for responding!

    I don't remember the exact times but I tried a number of times to log in. Finally, I tried again and the system ask me for some questions, that I thought was about Face book, Then it registered me as a new member. Now that I'm finally how can I get to my old page. Sorry  about the problems I told you along time ago my computer skills are low.

  • J.J. Smith III

    2500? It shows "All Members (2,450)" on my end.
    You might be shown another total though.

    I saw some pics of Alabama after the storm and before it got here. We had a little over 5 inches ourselves. School's out here too. The ice was what stopped us.
    The girls were real happy until we told them that they would have to make up the days during Spring Break. Just as well, I got out for the first time, this morning, for a church meeting, and there were still areas of patchy ice. Melts during the day and re-freezes to a nice sheet at night.

    Y'all stay safe. Winter's not over and the weather guy is calling for a warmer/dryer winter this year. Better lay in an extra supply of coal. LOL

    Scott we got about 8 inches of snow and it's not going away very fast. So we old folks are staying inside where it's warn. We had a good holiday season with kids and grandkids for over a week.

    Scott, Thanks again for the warm welcome to the neighborhood and my sincerest compliments on this site and your Elephant Toenails site! What a mouth watering collection you have and an enviable breadth of knowledge that I know I will benefit from going forward. Keep up the good work, or keep having fun rather!

    agree! focused on what you like the most. I used to like getting as more varieties as i could, and some of them turned out to be not my liking :(
    It seems like you are focusing on case pocket knife?

    Thanks for the comment
