In my life, there were decades upon decades when I lived by "if I could only have one knife, this would do."Intricate bolster and a beautifully well-balanced knife, some real artisanship there
I never really approve of those threads that say if you had to have only one or two knives (then what are you doing in a knife forum???) but I think I could manage with that one as my fixed knife...would have to have many more pocket-knives though to augment it

It has 1978 stamped on the pile side tang!!How old is that beauty?
Holy cow... other than getting my second haircut in darn near forty years.
A fellow Boone Countian!Last month I stuck two knives between a fork in this tree. One trunk had a wrist sized poison ivy vine going up it, the other had a virginia creeper.
The Boone County foresters cut it down because one of the two trunks was full of rot.
I wonder if any of those guys got a case of contact dermititis from that big gnarly poison ivy vine..

That was before I thought more would be even better.
