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 don't really know much about this one...I got this Pal in a trade a while back, in a pretty sad state. The main blade had a ton of play, and all three blades looked like they had been sharpened on an 80 grit belt with grind marks 1/3 of the way up from the edges (I really should've taken before pics). It got tossed under the display case until I came across it yesterday, when I noticed it has a punch and got a wild hairI got the main tightened up, sanded out the grinder marks, and started a new pickle relish patina (the only thing in the fridge at work). I also got the punch sharpened up and it's pretty sweet, cuts a nice round hole in a leather belt with little effort

Ron, that's a very nice forum knife! What year is that from?
2014 and IMHO the finest all around knife ever produced by GEC.
That's a great example of the 2014 knife, Ron!
