Relaxing after a wonderful salad, corvina fish and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. Part way through this bowl of year 2001 VaPer Three Nuns in a 1980s White Pipe straight lattice apple meerschaum with an acrylic yellow cream colored saddle stem. Watching the Flash.

Starting with a glass of the A. De Fussigny VSOP Grande Champagne Cognac and some GH&C Bob's Chocolate Flake in the Dirk Claessen pick axe (?) I won from Fishnbanjo's collection:

So far I've been loving how Bob's pairs with Cognac!

Love the Buck 110! I've had mine since I was 12 and I'm 45 now.
I have a similar experience with my bucks Shanez. Had two since about 1982, if memory serves. I have one that is rounded on the brass and wood and the other is very squared off. Same in most every way except for one being rounded. I looked a little, but do you know the diff between the two? Is one block and one script? Or is the squared one a diff model that I cannot seem to find? My first is more rounded than the other I somehow acquired through a trade of some sorts back then. Blades and lengths etc. all the all the same.

I also had a titanium that was confiscated to box up by the airlines in a trip to NY, where they never gave it back. I did get a refund for $40 on my $100 knife, then after I refused the check the airlines did give me a full refund, but I couldn't find another titanium to replace ... this was back in 89-90.

edit: Okay... pulled them both out.. both are 110. But def diff in the rounding I mentioned.
