Renee is no longer alone. Welcome and I am glad you are here. We have heard so much about you. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Hmmmmm.......now THERE'S your two edged sword (yeah, pun intended) !

That could be pretty good or REAL bad ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Darn, should have been on my best behavior all this time ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

Hahah Tom speaks very highly of you!

That's because she often reads the forum, and takes and helps post all the pics of me with the Busse ladies! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> Oh, OK, she's pretty sweet too....we really DO make a great team!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Yes it appears that way.

Welcome to Yard! I suspect you did have thorough knowledge of this little "knife safehaven" before diving in... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Actually, I would love to know which knife/knives you hold as your own?
I set my girl up with a 311 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Although I don't have as many knives as Tom (approximately equal to the number of dollars in our national debt <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> ) my modest selection covers all of my knife needs and the handles fit my hand well........

Swamp Warden and Cupidvore - these fit nicely into even the smallest purse or pocket - good around the kitchen for almost anything - great for small detail crafting
Scrapper 5 and Boss Jack - handy around the kitchen for meat trimming and prepping watermelons, etc. - good for heavier crafting (cardboard and softer wood)
ScrapMax - the super fine blade is EXCELLENT for slicing whatever

I shy away from the bigger blades - they tend to have larger handles that make for an odd grip and my fingers keep getting in the way (and I'm kind of clumsy <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> ) - I just can't stand the blood and screaming ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I wouldn't have thought Tom would be that squeamish at the sight of blood. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Wise guy! ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />................ <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Small hands and big blades often don't mix <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Whenever my girlfriend gets her hands on my 711 it just looks odd, and I fear for her safety. Would hate for her to loose a finger or two <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for the update!
