SAD.

Hello again i have been absent for some time,in fact with the coming of winter i become virtually housebound partly because riding my motorcycle in the cold is something i dont care to do,but mostly it is because of SAD or Seasonal Affective Disorder i am not sure if i am afflicted with it but i sure as heck hate the winter and i do not believe that buying a $300 light box will fool me into thinking it is summer, anyhoo yesterday i thought i would check out my friends on iKC and pretty soon i was back in the swing of things and checking out the great pics when the #55 Houndstooth caught my eye, now i have always liked the #56 Dogleg Jack as a sturdy EDC but wished it came in a single blade configuration, now joy of joys those wonderfull folk at GEC have answered my prayers cos it looks to me like the #55 and the #56 are built on the same frame. So i come to you fresh from Uncle Gregs site after ordering a beautiful red jig bone #55 all i have to do now is wait,but at least i have started to take an interest in our great obsession again,Sorry i have nattered on a bit...

Featured Comment by Bob Biggs on January 30, 2013 at 7:11: See how out of practise i am,as my old mate Ron pointed out i omitted the most important detail about my much anticipated 55 , it is of course a spearpoint...

Comment by Ron Cooper on January 30, 2013 at 2:53: Good to see you back in action, mate! But you left out a most important detail about your new 55. Which blade did you get, a spear or a wharnie?

Really good to hear you natter, my dear ol' friend!

I LOVE my new #55. It fits in my pocket, wears well enough in there that I could tell it was there. It is an easy pattern to use and fits my hand well. Of course mine is the wharnie :)

I LOVE the gray winter time! Of course 98% of my genes are German. lol

Now is the time to get in full swing, its a new year with a lot of promise and after all we are knife collectors!
