I did wake up in the wrong state once. Long ago before my wife domesticated me.
Haha, did that once myself. In Athens Ga. adjacent to a club named the "Armadillo Palace"
Thankfully God takes care of fools and children.

At 63 I remind myself of the quote attributed to the actor, John Barrymore, that "a man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams". My goal is to remain a "professional small boy" and retain the sense of wonder and excitement exhibited by my now 6 yr. old grandson.

Rick said it was forged from 3 different high carbon steels. 1084, 1095 and one other.
A few more snaps...........
Rick said that this was his first forged damascus blade.
I'd say, not bad for a beginner.
But what do I know.
I just use them.
