Viceroy

Probably an actual reason Crumby never amounted to much is because he never got to espy one or another of the milkweed butterflies and the Viceroy simultaneously.  Matter of fact, though Crumby has espied a great many Monarch, Queens and even a Soldier or two, he never saw a Viceroy ever.  Rather, he probably might have seem some, but didn't know what they were.

However, today, while on an utterly hopeless mission to miserable Williamson County, a Republican hellhole if ever there was one, to espy the reported Sabine's gull, Crumby immediately recognized that willows and buttonbushes on the lake shore should afford habitat for the Viceroy.  Shore nuff!

Victorinox orange peelers versions 3&4

These are the iterations of the orange peeler tool on the Victorinox 74 mm Companion and Executive knives as described (paraphrased with improved grammar and non-essential descriptors omitted) on the Sakwiki site.  Descriptions apply from older to newer models.

1. non-serrated with gut hook
2  fine serrations with gut hook
3. wide/shallow serrations with gut hook
4. wide/deep serrations with gut hook
5. wide/deep serration with no gut hook

The picture below shows 3. and 4., the shallow versus deep serrations with the shallow example on top.  The particular knife with the shallow serrations shown here is known as the Companion.  Crumby's features a tweezer with metal head and a black, single-leaf scissor's spring, not shown.
