Tom, I kind of wish I had visited your neck of the woods, but no such luck.A Skipjack magnet! Someone has visited my neck of the woods…

When you generously sent me that Mikov anchor knife, you included all sorts of ancillary goodies (that magnet, a bunch of stickers, a canal post card, some vinyl sheets to add covers to the knife)!
(Thanks for the link, too. I had no idea that boat magnet was based on a famous kind of boat.

I completely forgot I sent you that
.I remember I sent you the adhesive vinyl for the knife handle, though. A memory lapse like that at the tender age of 59 would be alarming, except that I have always had a lousy memory… or at least I seem to remember having always had a lousy memory…

Can you remember what Barbra Streisand sang about memory?
Memories
May be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So maybe you've just had a tough life, rather than a lousy memory.

This week's all-metal knife is a prized possession for a retired math geek like I am. It's a Richartz knife with carbon steel spearpoint blade including whale on tang stamp, equal-end frame with bail, and covers stamped with multiplication tables for 1-12 (thanks, Mark):

Really like your knife for the holiday, Alan!
Here's a knife I got for Christmas several years ago, tucked it away in my billfold, and forgot that I had it in there. I re-discovered it this past weekend. It's an all-metal tiny linerlock made for KeySmart:
