Yes, I've thought that for a while, Duncan. Not as old as Longblade's of course, the style seems to coincide with the time Pappa Mirando came over to America.Wow - Longblade- live those two Dirks. Fantastic viewing!
I remember when you posted that Knife before Charlie( if I gave the right one) didnt you have suspicions that the Father made that particular Knife?
Didn't mean to skip over your Grandfather's award knife, Wazu!!This Cattaraugus was my Grandfather's safety award from Bethlehem Steel in Lackawanna, NY.
It sure was a happening back then. I remember when my Father said he could get a summer job for me there I politely declined and spent the summer fishing Lake Erie with the steel plant off in the distance.Didn't mean to skip over your Grandfather's award knife, Wazu!!
I worked at Bethlehem in Lackawanna in 1962 and 1963 between semesters. It was a hard place to stay safe!!
