I'm not sure just what "Kate" will first be wearing.
They say it's a woman's right to change her mind, so who knows for sure?
We'll soon see.

A colonial american faorm recently celebrated its 200th anniversary.  In cleaning the grounds in preperation for the celebration a cattle graveyard was discovered.  The bones were gathered togeather into a sizeable pile.  Craftsmen at Great Eastern Cutlery percieved the possible value of these primitive bones and obtained some samples for prototypes.  Special processes were designed and utilized at GEC to prepare the bones for knife making handles.  The finished and poloished product is at least 60 years old.    The unique character and color can only be produced by the natural aging process.

Hey Robert, I pulled this from the side of the tube- 

A Colonial American Farm recently celebrated its 200Th anniversary. While clearing the grounds for the celebration, a cattle graveyard was discovered. Cattle skeletons had been accumulated in a common area for many years. The bones were gathered together into a sizeable pile. Craftsman at Great Eastern Cutlery perceived the possible value of these primitive bones and obtained some samples for prototypes. The bones were in a state of natural deterioration, showing severe age and weathering. Special processes were designed and utilized at Great Eastern Cutlery to prepare the primitive bone for knife handles and for assembly to pocketknife liners. The finished and polished knife handles, as much as sixty years old, have a unique character and coloration that can only be achieved by the many years of aging and natural weathering. Great Eastern Cutlery was able to obtain the primitive bones and will use them for a series of highly collectible Northfield Branded Serialized knives.

What is primitive bone? I knew at one time but forgot and can't find a thread on it again.
