a knife like my grampa's

Everything about this thread is wonderful.:thumbup: Great story,great knife, great tractor, great act of generosity.
 
Congratulations on hunting down a replacement knife like your grandfather's.

Sadly, it seem no one wants to make those old patterns in carbon steel any more. :(

Well I was going to say something like this along these lines, but Grateful sumed it up perfectly!:thumbup:


Let me just add that although Rob is a man of few words, he has always in his meaningful way, embodied the type of "folksy" fellowship here that keeps me comming back time and again!:thumbup:
 
The thing that hit me to buy the Imperial easy opener was that it was identical to what I remember my grandfather had. I remember digging it out of his fishing gear along with a foding knife/hatchet. The blades were heavily ground but I think it was the same knife. He lived in Providence so it makes sense it was Imperial.

:thumbup: Well done.
even if its not THE knife, a similar one brings back memories, and its a pleasure to find one, look at it, feel it, and use it.

Thomason helped me out when I first found this site. He posted pics for me, and helped me get the info on how to do it myself. (Maybe he overdid it a little - I DO post a lot of pics:eek:)!
I am here because of his generosity, and I am ever grateful. Nice knife, Peter, and a gift that truly reflects thoughtfulness! Yer a class act, Rob!
 
As am I.

Thanks to Rob and you and the whole gang here.
