True....and the same goes when they miss it.

Sorry..don't mean to be negative...In my defence I have one in transit...sadly can't get it till October...postage debacle.

Home run or strikeout, nothing in between.

Very nice. The pocket worn and bonestag are probably the nicest examples of their respective handle materials I've seen.

This one here Case XX (1940 - 1964) skinned many, many wolves, wolverines, and lynx.

Thank you, friend. I appreciate you saying that

At the time I did not know what I had, it was a gift from a fatherly mentor and friend. It was new old stock, unused. In hindsight I sometimes wished I had not used it, but then, aren't knives meant to be used? Underlying guilt had me debate to find donor blades for it and have it rebuilt, yet that would not have been right, either.

I still carry it with much deference.

Someday someone is going to be holding this knife 50, 100, 150 years from now and wonder what the back story is. In about 20 years me or my daughters will be able to tell stories about the knife my Grandad carried in WWII 100 years before. I think it’s pretty damn cool to have a knife that you’ve put all the stories into!!!!

Thoughtfully put 315 . I hope you have vivid memories of your grandfather.
