Thank you kindly. It is my pleasure.
These knives have given my interest in cutlery a real "leg up" boost.
I have spare orange 486, and a black 486, because I like this practical and good-looking knife so much.
The black 560 was handed to me by Chuck Buck last Sunday. He said that it was perfect but to check it. I checked it and it was perfect. What a surprising treat to have CB bring such a collector's item to the show for enthusiasts. You are all right CB. Thank you for your kindness.
I was lucky enough to discover and rescue the 186 in an obscure pawn shop (full of LEOs at the time) in a small out-of-the way Oregon town I rarely ever visit. I wasn't really sure about its identity, and knew nothing of its back story, when I saw it in the shop's glass case. I knew at first glance that it was singular among the other knives there. It was meant to be found by me.
