Of course, that is just my first and primary reason followed by my long list of other things I look for in my knives! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> then you have to factor in cool factor, and how it will look with the majority of your outfits.

Just got a call from a major engineering company in Atlanta. They want me to head up a water/sewer project just south of here on the FL line. Decisions, decisions. Big money. Good luck.... whatever you choose... (???). <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

will you have to dig the ditches by hand or will they let you use a back hoe? I passed that level some decades ago. My main area of expertise is in treatment and environmental compliance.
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

Mmmmmmm..... No. - .... How it looks with my "outfits" has never been on my decision list. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> ...., but I will try not to say "too" much if that is on your decision list. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Visual aesthetic appeal - sure. I like satin blades. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> and all kinds of different handle materials. But, I never tried to match them to my attire. .... I guess I do like some of my folders to be somewhat inconspicuous and non-threatening to help keep the sheeples at ease. .... If that counts (????). "Cool factor" has probably come into play a little here and there. But, for me, it is based mostly on preferences in design, ergos, function, materials, etc. .

I don't really have any problems with that so long as you are equally or sufficiently happy with performance from both knives. I wasn't sure if you were trying to give me some ribbing or if I was given a good opportunity to give you some ribbing. So, I chose the later. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> For the record, I carry a black SAK Executive, because I like the color better. ... as they say: "It's all good...". .

What an evil leaf-shaped recurve. Naturally, I love it. You're the man, Ted.

the jealousy that pervades my being at the sight of that blade knows no boundry, limit, or relent.
