America has reached 250 years, and I am grateful to be here, in the best country in the world. Thank every one of you who helps make this country a better place, those who have gone before and risked it all, and those who've paid the ultimate price to make the United States what we are today.
Happy Birthday America! Let Freedom Ring for all time!
I could be way off but I believe gunboat refers to more than two blades or the types of blades and not the size. Again….I only play a knife expert in my mindSince I do not know much about Canoe Knives : Is being over 4" in length make it a Gunboat ???? Or what does ????
I appreciate your offer but , I like to mess with my kids . I will probably let them try to figure out what to do with it . All 4 of them are in fact pretty smart . They will only have a few to keep or dispose of .

The "Gunboat" designation is three or more blades in a canoe pattern. The name does not apply to size.Since I do not know much about Canoe Knives : Is being over 4" in length make it a Gunboat ???? Or what does ????

Good to have you back with 2 great knives!!
Not necessary. An "Whaler"/"Rope Knife" is a solo rams foot or sheepsfoot blade.Somebody at Case: "Put Whaler on the blade so some nimrod on Blade Forums doesn't call it a Loom Fixer."
Thank you very much Steve .The "Gunboat" designation is three or more blades in a canoe pattern. The name does not apply to size.
