Typecast: a small blessing
The knife was a birthday present from my sister - thanks Sis!
When I was a kid and my family went camping in the Black Hills of SD, my dad made me a walking stick from a branch I'd found. Carved my name near the top and everything. Some years later, it broke, and Dad pinned and glued the break for me. I *still* have that thing and use it on hikes once in a while.
Good idea, shellacing it. I should do that to mine to help preserve it.

Great story.

I need a better swiss army knife for these sorts of occasions.
Leatherman multitool FTW.
Sounds nice and providential, though. I'd also love it if I could find free-range mesquite for the smoker in the back yard.
