Interesting indeed.
Was semi-sceptical until I read the signature.
If provenance legit, thats quite an interesting knife.

Any chance of getting a photo allowing us to read the whole letter, or was the knife strategically placed for privacy reasons?

I guess so honestly when he died We had just started talking again, had no idea he had a ton of knives. I’m slowly going through them and am now at 68 with plenty to go. Figured you guys would like to see things
