Hmm… I might. It’s been a while since I’ve done a challenge, though since I carry an alox everyday, idk if it’s really a “challenge.”  I’m tentatively in.
If the trees blew down the wind and no one was around, would the alphabet song really go backwards?

This was fun last year.  Lots of neat models.

It was in August for the inaugural run. I don’t know if that was just a good month for it or because of the alliteration.

By the way, since you guys are al 'alox addicts', can anyone tell me what in the heck I've got here?? It's allegedly a +B model but it doesn't have his logo on the blade. It's the orange one, by the way... alongside a blue solo. It's got a pruning blade, two(!) main blades, a saw, and a marlinspike. What is this thing??

Thank you so much! I had no idea about this thing. Does anyone know why some +B models have the stamp on the blade and why others don't?
