Thanks for the replys fellows,

In response,

MoBOB - I really like your charm/photo idea and will ask my mother for a nice picture of my "adopted Grandmother" to place on the mantle of our new fireplace, Thanks.

REDDOG79 - I am not quite your size (I am 6' tall, 220lbs with large hands), I like your idea of carrying a "dummy" RSK MK1 for a while to see how it fits in my pocket. I am going to build up a Gerber E-Z Out with cardboard to the RSK MK1 specs and carry it around for a time to see how it feels; good thinking!

OBG - I have about $200 to spend on this idea, not a lot in the high-end knife world but enought to have fun with.

Blitz - My "adopted Grandmother" is now 94 years old and still as sharp witted as ever. This is the first time in a long while that my entire immediate family has been together at Christmas, all 16 of us. It makes you remember the real importance of family and just how fortunate we are.

I am still contemplating this gift knife idea so please post you thoughts and ideas?

Mike
