Darn... Well, can't you just say you were abducted by aliens so GSOM has to give
me five bucks? We could work it into the secret mission in Iraq story somehow.
Also, speaking of smexy knives..
Dad got this one from Palmetto Blades yesterday. It's even prettier in real life.
From their Facebook page: "The knife is our Gadsden model and it's from 3/16" thick ADS Wave pattern Damascus measuring 7.75" OAL with a 3.5" saber ground edge. The handles are a combination of Stonewall Jackson Prayer Tree bolsters from J. Hue Customs and the handles are from the 1854 Rappahannock River Crib Dam from Historical Woods of America with a leather spacer. The Prayer Tree was used 3 times in the Civil War by Stonewall and 15,000 troops to pray before battle and the Crib Dam was a thorn in the Union's side throughout the Civil War keeping them from advancing. This a truly one of a kind piece of Civil War History. We finished it with brass mosaics and tube."
