Awww...no way. This totally stinks. First Bill, now Arnold.
I'm very sorry for your loss, Dave. Your father is a good man, and was a part of what makes this knife forum great.
A while back, he sent me an old fixed blade scout knife out of the blue, just cause he knew my son and I were involved in scouting at the time. I had started a reno project on it. I will be thinking of him when I finish it.
