No JD. Best not, but thanks for offering.

After all the scorn I've poured on BG and the atrocity just tested, I'd have to use it to cut Humble Pie before I did anything remotely woodsy with it.

Oh and I might fall in love with it...

In that case, I insist, or call you out as a orange-necked pecker-wood.

Ooof!!! That's a bit strong...

I haven't been called orange since the accident at the spray tan salon in 91.

As I'm joining the Scouts in a week or two I suppose I should give the Chief Woggle's knife a try. :D

Cheers

Dude, the only spray tan in 91 used Ronseal or B&Q's own brand creosote and it was for larch lap fencing, not people!!!!

They let you into the scouts. Hells Bells. Please remember if you have to scratch yourself, do it outside your trousers and when no-one is looking.

I wondered why that tan lasted so long?

Thanks for the etiquette regarding Scratch and Sniff activity, that'll save me from committing what the French call a Fox P*ss.

Times must be tough for the Scouts, first BG and now me...

Ooh, x-ray would be cool!!

If not though, a magnet may help give an idea of tang length.

Because the tang is so close to the pommel, I couldn't get a definitive result. I thought about getting Emm to stare at it hard for a few minutes, which would certainly curdle the plastic, and make it fall off, but this one isn't my knife. I'll have to wait till mine gets home.
