There's a manly knife for ya! Been getting over a cold, but going to take the bull by the horns and tote this on Tuesday, from @ArtesaniaHerreros. ¡Olé!
 
It's about snakes:
"Red Touch Yellow - Kills a Fellow
Red Touch Black - Venom Lack
Yellow Touches Red - Soon You'll Be Dead
Red Touches Black - Friend of Jack"

Since I memorized it wrong, I'd be in trouble if I ran into a coral snake!

Since we had both types of snakes (Coral & Scarlet King) in coastal NC when I was a boy the rhyme was taught to Scouts this way:
Red & Black, friend of Jack.
Red & Yellow, kill a Fellow!

The Corals today are very rare here, I haven't seen one in 45 years; Now I need a knife with handles to commemorate the memory!
