Good to hear you are using it!
Knives are meant to be used, aren't they <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/footinmouth.gif" alt="" /> ?
On my budget I don't buy knives I don't think I'll use, or at least be able to make a good excuse for when my wife sees a knife she does not recognize <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
So I'll never buy a sword... (but that's just me. Horndog seems to have found a use for his Waki).
SkunkHunter (cool name, our dogs like to hunt skunks too - apparently that spray is not a deterrent. One of my wife's lead dogs cornered one against an old barn and when it sprayed him in the face, he just closed his eyes and kept chomping <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" />) - but I digress... thanks for the water bucket warmer tip. We have electric in the barn/giant dog house, but it gets really cold (-20F this morning), we have 12 stalls in a large unheated barn, each with a 2 gal bucket (in warmer weather). So we just put lots of water on their food 2X per day and give them water at least one other time per day. With enough fresh snow, it is not an issue anyway. But thanks anyway for the suggestion.
