Nice Pics Tom! Great grandkids as well. Hey, forgetfulness along with age happens.

OK, a few more pics!



This is what I brought home; some for me and some for folks I proxied for.



This is a TAN 7-11 and an Elmax (ScrapMax?)



DogFather LE, 7-11, and ScrapMax



A Bowie that Justin Gingrich custom-made for me
Busse SAR-7 custom fighter
Another knife I bought from Justin
Tan Rodent-9



Same knives, different order. I LOVE my Bowies!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />



The Custom-made Bowie is actually about 1/8" longer than the DFLE. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

A couple more. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />



I just HAD to include the pic that General Dog took of her handiwork with the ScrapMax!.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />



This is the amazing Kim; a truely inspirational young woman. Sherrie (the General) and I are proud to call her our friend, and we really enjoy seeing her at Blade. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />



I think that Drummerboy was trying to cut into my action with the lovely Lora and Lexi! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />



This is Justin Gingrich and I with the Bowie he custom-made for me. He is not only a GREAT guy, but I would be happy to have him with me in a firefight or watching my back; and he is an Army Ranger, not a fellow Marine! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> That's one of the highest compliments I give to ANY fellow combat veteran! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Nice pics again Tom. Man that Custom Sar 7 is nice! And I like that orange handled blade of Justin's as well.

a good time was had by all

tom it was good to see you & sherrie

nice pics

Great photos Tom- thanks so much for sharing!

Wow, some great pics here, Tom!.....and Lexi, well, Max said it best.

Great pics Tom!
But, am I the only one surprised not to see more releases from the Yard and Swamprat?
Maybe they bit off more than they could chew, with last years releases...

They're still in the process of releasing the offerings from last year. I'm guessing they just don't want to get ahead of themselves.

Tom, that's a great Gingrich Bowie by the way. I love me some Bowies.

Those are awesome pics Tom! Looks like you had a great time! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
