Lou you would really enjoy meeting Ken at Bear, not just him but his whole company, they are like a large family. They just had their annual community sell. You can get some real bargains.Ken and the Bear factory worker's are a very good example of what we call Southern hospitality. I have some nice Bear knives as well as a few Remington's.
So if you ever get down this way you will have a personal guide at your Beck & Call
