@riffblaster:

I'll be catching Black Mountain with The Black Angels on tuesday.  cant wait!!

This same lineup has a sold out show at The Earl in Atlanta tonight, based on what I see here I'm going down to see what is what.

@HoustonChris:

That's Roswell, New Mexico, though Georgia is filled with folks who seem like they're from another planet (no hate, tcash :D).

If its true its hard to read hate into it, you know?

Ha, not quite.  This one:

So I have a larger knife collection than denim, but I was glad when I found the proper jeans to carry my stuff, and glad to find a forum with similar interests.

This is Jon Christensen's journeyman smith test knife, which means he submitted it to the American Bladesmith Society as a test on his way to becoming a Mastersmith.  There are certainly folks that think I'm crazy for carrying it instead of leaving it in the safe, but I can't help it.

Decidedly less tactical than what seems to prevail here.  I some tactical stuff too.

Thanks Beatle.

I am just north of Atlanta, GA in Roswell.

Converted lurker here in Atlanta GA (where the players play).  There are a lot of overlapping interests in the forum.  I look forward to sharing.

I've been lurking here for a while an putting off signing up, but davichan's post made me do it.

@ Davichan,  I have a very similar experience, got 301s-07bk 1.5 mos ago, loved them, had to squeeze etc… Went for 301s 2 weeks ago and your description is right on.

I looked at the tag inside the jawns and found that the OD tag, while hard to read, says W 31.  Since they were unsanforized 31's (and probably measured 33" or so pre-overdye) the OD shrinks them to a re-measured 32, whereas the sanforized 301s is just that, a sanforized W32.

All in all both are excellent IMO.
