Kevin, it's a page from a Rand McNally Atlas which probably predates Google. :)

Wow... Rand McNally even... old school! :cool::thumbsup: I remember when I first got computer savvy in the 90's Rand McNally was my go-to online map source until MapQuest took over the market, then Yahoo and of course now Google. :rolleyes:

Your remarks about the millennials remind me of my grandkids when they asked when I was born. After telling them 19-- they were obviously confused, being unable to conceive of someones birth year not starting with a 2. After explaining it to them they asked, "Was anyone born in the 1800s." Thought you might get a kick out of that. ;) -James

I definitely got a kick out of that, James! When I was a lad, there was a radio/TV show with a guy named Art Linkletter that had a famous segment called "Kids Say the Darnedest Things" (He also sold books with that title.) :D:D

I also get a kick out of that simple, beautiful knife of yours! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool: It reminds me of one of my favorite Spanish knives, a plastic-handled (so obviously not as "pedigreed" as yours) JJ Martinez Marinera:

Thanks hamsco! There's really no method to my madness. I sometimes prefer certain patterns in one cover and other patterns in a different cover. Also, sometimes I'll just stumble upon one accidentally. I was actually looking for a stag 73 when I ran across the Ebony one. The Case/Bose cattle knife really had me indecisive. Then when I happened to have the funds available, I found the Ebony one pre-owned for a decent price. So, Ebony ended up being my choice. Some of them I still second guess my choices.
