[Marcelo Cantu]

For sale or trade is this beautiful EDC by Jim Wharton (Stag & Steel) made from 1/8" 154CM, 6 1/2" overall with a 3 1/4" guard to tip length. Handle is Snakewood with a black G10 spacer and 304 stainless guard. It comes with leather and Kydex sheaths and a caribiner clip for carrying on belt or neck. SPF

Next is Hix hand forged semi-skinner. I don't know much about the maker except he is from Missouri. Most knife search engines won't do a three letter search, but I do know that the blade is forged 52100 with a differential heat treat and visible temper line. brass guard and stag handle. Blade is approximately 4". This is a beautiful knife that I haven't had the heart to use.

Next is a Collector Knives by Sam McDowell small drop point like new, I don't know much about this maker other than he designs the knives and has them made exclusively for him in Seki City Japan by Kai Cutlery Company out of surgical steel. He is known for his scrimshaw but this one is not scrimshawed.

Next is a Sunfish pattern of Solingen origin but unknown maker. Approximately 4" closed, bone handles, nickel silver bolsters, stainless blades, large & small, user.

LNIB Muela Sambar Stag Skinner: about 10" long with 3 5/8" upswept 440 stainless steel blade with thumb recess at the spine.on hold

Who would be a poor man, a beggarman, a thief --
If he had a rich man in his hand.
And who would steal the candy
From a laughing babys mouth
If he could take it from the money man.
Cross-eyed mary goes jumping in again.
She signs no contract
But she always plays the game.
Dines in hampstead village
On expense accounted gruel,
And the jack-knife barber drops her off at school.
Laughing in the playground -- gets no kicks from little boys:
Would rather make it with a letching grey.
Or maybe her attention is drawn by aqualung,
Who watches through the railings as they play.
Cross-eyed mary finds it hard to get along.
Shes a poor mans rich girl
And shell do it for a song.
Shes a rich man stealer
But her favours good and strong:
Shes the robin hood of highgate --
Helps the poor man get along.

--Jethro Tull

Hello.
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?

Come on, now.
I hear youre feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.

Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts:
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I cant explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.

Ok.
Just a little pinprick. [ping]
Therell be no more --aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up?
I do believe its working. good.
Thatll keep you going for the show.
Come on its time to go.

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.


--Pink Floyd
