Nick,Yep, the family history really does make it priceless. Hopefully one day it will become my son or daughter's knife. We just found out my wife is pregnant but it's too early to tell if get's going to be a boy or girl...
I almost had a tear in my eye while reading your original thread.
With your added post I seem to have got something in my eyes, probably steel shavings.
Your thread MADE my day. Besides being a REALLY NEATO KNIFE, Your Family History can
be shared with the knife long into the future.
And I agree with Gevonovitch, This place IS GREAT
