Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
And there are many paths to tread
New verse:
|
Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by! |
|
|
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well! |
|
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed! |

CRKT made a series of four knives with special markings for sale in PXs in Iraq. The knives themselves are still in their product line, but the ones with the special markings are no longer produced.
We gave away two to relatives of Hobbit Hole folks in the service. Now I've been able to score five more of another model. These will go into our "unadvertised specials" box, for giving when the regular knife just isn't grand enough.
As you can see, this model is a big, honlin' folding knife, and is even larger than our Camillus 904, which ain't exactly tiny. Here's a better picture of the markings.
An interesting feature is that the pocket clip can be relocated to either end, on either side of the knife, thus allowing it to be carried in a number of different ways. It's also beefy enough that it can perform some of the heavy-duty tasks normally done by our Camillus BK2. The "wings" on the blade provide a bit of protection as handguards.
We only have five of these, but if you know someone special who has earned one, drop me a line.

We're watching The Island. It is an outstanding movie!! Isn't it though? I have no idea how such a pro-life movie made it past the Hollyweird Agenda Censors.

They probably just didn't notice the message among all the car, truck, helicopter, and 'wasp' chases!

Good Morning All - looks like a beeeutiful day here. Gypsygirl enjoyed her walk, of course, so did we. We're on track for the warmest January on record. Yesssss. Still, we could use some rain, during the weeks ahead.
