I got a badlands whitetail hybrid pack from my parents as well as a CS norse hawk.

Welcome Matthew.
I got to spend Cristmas eve & day with friends.I also scored a Busse High Street w/pumpkin scales for xmas.
MMMMMM pumpkin.
I hope to score a pumpkin handled regulator from SYKCO "soon"

Very nice gifts you got MustardMan! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> I got some lovely diamond earrings this year (you know diamonds are a girls best friend! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />)

Welcome to the Yard matthewdanger! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I picked up a Pead Led Solutions light, the El Capitan model. Got some more wood for doing knife handles (Peruvian Bloodwood and Amboynia Burl) and got some belts for the Kalamazoo. No knives but I needed a bit of a break anyway.

Yup looks like a Greco. I have the same knife with tan canvas. Nice blade. Congrats.

Edited !

I received a nice pair of 10x42 Bushnell binoculars, a MSR WhisperLite Internationale stove, a large REI bullet thermos and a Black Diamond Orbit lantern (which you can see 2 of hanging in MustardMan's jersey pic).

I got a SS4 off the exchange and a Maratac LED flashlight as "gifts". But more exciting is that I got back all the guns and outdoors stuff that I had sitting at my parents place as I did the army thing. It includes

Kelty backpack
Kelty tent
Slumberjack sleeping bag
Scott fly rod
Orvis fly rod and reel
Two 30-06's (one enfeild and one savage)
Winchester '92 in 30-30
Mossburg 12 guage
Bushnell Elite 4-20X scope (a thanks for your service present from my uncle)

That is a sweet stash of goodies to get back. Nothing of note on my end, did order a new little Mora today. Couldn't decide between that and a Bark River...decided to go cheap for a slicer...

mpalmer - great list of toys! i'm sure very well deserved.

rn - good choice, can't go wrong with a mora. not as pretty but very capable.

Guess I was good this year!! My wife got me all that I wanted......can't believe the Fenix LD20 flashlight is that bright with just 2 AA's!!
The flip ultra HD is cool...don't have to worry about loading a bunch of software and junk....less than a minute and your videos are on youtube or DVD.....i'll have to use it to post some video's!
The Teva Dozer sandals have been great in the house...dont know how they will work in a thicket ..HAHA!!!

Since Santa couldn't bring me a Busse & I couldn't win a Desert Dog Father, I made me a knife that is kinda a combo of both...just started cutting and grinding & this is what I came up with......I put some micarta handles on it but they failed after a few chops....so heck with it.....aluminum handles is what I have! HAHA!!! It's a great looking cake cutting knife to match my wife's other cake cutters, but her's can't chop a limb in half like this one can....and you can't lick the cake off of this knife......HAHA
