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!

Cool pic. Toting a stag knife myself (lambsfoot) and a S&W .38 Special (rosewood grips).It's fixed blade Friday. Toting this old Gutmann 461 that was always in my dads tackle box when I was a kid. Tip was broken, I reground it years ago. I blued it, or maybe its a vinegar patina? I don't remember. I made the sheath. Think its been sharpened a few times?

Look at how thin the frame is, barely thicker'n a 2 bit piece
Look at the secondary blade, as thin as it is someone still had the skill to put a swedge on it. It's so thin it flexes like a fillet knife almost 90* and springs back straight with no ill effect.

Carrying these three today. The Benchmade doesn't fit the theme, but I'm expecting some copper scales to come in today, so I pocketed it in expectation.

Beautiful Bulldog Barlow; you have so many excellent knives!!![]()

Wow! That is robbery!Thank you Mr. Gary, yes I have very good knives, but I would like to have many more, that would only be possible if I were in the United States of America.
Here in Portugal it is very difficult and expensive to buy knives outside the European Union, I returned a knife because the Customs wanted me to pay € 76.00, after having paid € 60.00 to the seller, this is unbearable and greatly increases the cost of the knife...![]()
Thanks Steve! So is the bone on your SW today. I just looked at it again and it’s amazing.
Thank you very much my friend .Old Engineer I’m liking the Case Barlow’s! And your TEW is just timeless.
