Sometimes I almost laugh at our 'situation.'

I remember 30 years ago, you wanted a knife and it was

a CASE,SHRADE,MARBLES or BUCK from the display at the hardware store.

Oh, SAKS were for sale, and KABARS or old Hickory from the

kitchen section. And while I know there were lots more even then,

That really sums up the choices.

Stainless Steel was this new stuff that wouldn't sharpen and

your handle was wood,leather, horn or an extra $5 for pretty

stippled antler. The sheath was leather, sharpening was

spelled ARKANSAS and maintenance 3 in 1 oil.

How did we ever make it out of the woods?
