nice looking knife cowboy

i am sure you guys get tired of people saying stuff like  "wow thats nice,you want my address"
i aint gonna tell ya to send me that knife,but that pile of rocks ya got laying there,sure would be nice to have .
hopefully this weekend i can stock up on some rock.

i wanna be that good someday,so i figure after a few tons of rock have been busted up,i might be able to make something like that.

Nice knife, Paul. I like tough rock. It's more trouble to get worked down, but it's tough and sharp when you get it there. That one looks like it would be a good knife to use as well as looking good.
