 Know what you mean, I switched to my hammer stones after I knocked the ends off.

I love Texas rock...heated or not.  Ya never know what kind of colors/patterns yer gonna get from it.  Plus, it's usually tough.  When yer aim is as bad as mine you need something tough.
  Nice job on both of those.   That knife is slick!
Be thankfull for all you have, because no matter how bad you think it is...it can always be worse.
