A GREAT President.

Someone gave it to me today; I think it was my boss (looked like his handwriting on the envelope), but I haven't confirmed since he was out this afternoon.
Yes, he was one of the greats.

A couple of originals.

An original Uncle Henry Pro Hunter (c. 1970) that I lowered the tip on and a 1641 Dutch Leeuwendaalder ("Lion Dollar") which was the original "silver dollar" of the American Colonies. The Dutch stopped minting them in 1713 and the Colonies began using Milled Spanish Dollars, AKA "Pieces of Eight" shown below.

Very nice. I think our forum's eternal dilemma (what looks better: mint condition or use and patina) applies to coins just as well as knives.

Edit: I forgot to ask, is the handle on your knife horn and what steel is it?

On the fish? It is grey cattle horn, steel is KO 13 (X 46 Cr 13) Krupp stainless.
