Shouldn't every Friday be "Black Friday"

I like it, Kevin! Is that a Kingston??

That's a good guess Gary... I would say either Camillus or Kingston. Camillus handled a lot of their later WWII with this cheap black plastic that deteriorates / shrinks frequently and based on the shrinkage I was thinking this is a mid-to-late 1940's Camillus. Either way it is from a good manufacturer, it has really great snap open/close and it's sharp enough I can shave with it... but I won't

I'd say you definitely qualify, Greg!
Did you buy that knife in 1974, sort of trying to predict your future??

Ha! If I had it in '74 it would be beat up or more than likely lost long ago. I turned 16 that summer and my mind was on getting a car, and of course girls.

Thanks for the info, Kevin; glad you like it!

And those girls usually lead to grandkids, one way or another!
I was 22 in the summer of '74, and my '64 Barracuda was rusting away on me 5 years after I bought it, so my mind was on getting a car, too! I ended up buying a Rambler (probably AMC by that time?) Ambassador from the USPS: steering wheel on the right, no rear seat. I only had it about 3 weeks before some teen high on drugs and driving his girlfriend's car totaled my "mail car" on the street in front of the apartment I had just moved into in Lafayette, IN. Fortunately, my Dad in Michigan hadn't sold my Barracuda for me yet, and I drove that for a couple more years before borrowing money from Grandma and buying a brand new '76 Toyota Corolla for $3000!

Hey! Does black lip pearl count for Black Friday?? I've been carrying this massive blinged-out Rough Rider canoe this week:

It will be interesting to see if the Tidioute gets as black as the Wadsworth in time.
