Thanks, 6.0stroker! I guess one of the ways we can be remembered is to leave something of personal value to our surviving family. Maybe that's why human beings are natural collectors of things. The best of what we collect (or treasure), is left to our loved ones. The rest of our "stuff", matters very little.

At first, I wanted to sell this knife to raise some cash, but it's one of the very few objects I have remaining from my entire adult life. The bows and rifles I used to take the many deer are all but gone, yet this knife was there all along. It was with me on numerous camping and backpacking trips, always doing its job.

I must have been crazy to even consider selling it.

I owe a debt of gratitude to all the guys that chimed in on this knife.

Dude, after hearing that you must not sell the knife. Whats a hundred bucks compared to it's sentimental value? Good call! The more "Dave"s the merrier too. Cheers!

From one Dave to another: Thanks for your reply! Do you get the "Dave's not here.", jokes, like I do? Sheesh, they get old after awhile!

Researching it was something I thought I'd do just for kicks. That's how I found you guys. Now you're all stuck with me and my old Uncle Henry knife!

B.C. is one of our favorite places. We have good friends that live in Vancouver.

I can understand why a filet knife would be one of your favorites!

Take care.
