Two new knives and an old book. I got this book at a book fair in middle school and I've carried it all around from Puerto Viejo beach in Costa Rica to the Andreafsky Wilderness in Alaska. Every time I read it I find something new and valuable. I just got these two knives this week, a Great Eastern Cutlery #35 Churchill in Smooth Green Banana Bone and a Rough Rider Peanut in Smooth White Bone, but they'll grow in value in a similar way to this book: as I carry them around with me and find innumerable uses for them they'll accumulate wear and stories that will make them far greater than the sum of their parts.
Yeah, I want to see what the book is too!
Nice Ettrick, FBC, and that looks like a good book to chase up.
But what's the book?

I had this knife on me last Christmas. My relatives father in law was visiting from El Salvador (somewhat unexpected) and I gifted him the knife. The one I had had a moderate/light pull that suited me.
