- Stabilized Buckeye Burl Handle
- Hidden Stainless Steel pin
- 7.75" Blade; 13.25" OAL
- 1095 High Carbon Steel Blade - Gray Etched Flat Finish

| Including the time it took us waiting for someone to come out and fix our blown out UHAUL tire on I-10, the trip took us 21 hours. About 5 hours more than planned, which led to 5 hours less sleep... which means we are 5x more exhausted from trying to get things cleaned up and put away. Man.. I've tired |

| Our tenants have moved out and I have 10 days to get the house ready for the move back. That means pressure washing, painting external trim, patching and painting all interior rooms, putting in an electrical sub-panel and 220V connections for the grinder and air compressor... and building new workbenches. Did I mention that I'll be in town for 4 of those days, day tripping to Dallas or San Antonio or 3 and in Nashville for the weekend... AAARRRGGGHHHHH! |
