LOL!

I remember when ceramic rod sharpeners came out. A guy I know was selling them, and he was telling all of us how durable they were and proceeded to drop one on the floor to show that it would just bounce but not break. Of course we all couldn't stop laughing when it broke into a hundred pieces! LOL!

Some people drink when they get depressed.  Others eat.  Others crawl under the covers and wait for the sunrise.  For me I just  watch Tom O'Dell and company.  Some things always bring a smile to ones face.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWLYxlqc3gQ

Tobis...

I know what you mean. My Uncle traveled the world and a few times he bought me a knife from those countries.  I still have them 52 years later.

I'm sure that your father is smiling down and nodding his approval for your effort to straighten this memento from his life. Well done, mate!

Below is a late Christmas present.  I received it from my aunt.  Apparently, when she was a teenager (over 50 some-odd years ago) my Father was and mother was visiting her. 

My Dad was in the US Air force at the time and was busy flying dignitaries all around.   One of his trips took him to India and while there he bought one of those cheap souvenir knives they sold in the market places.  

Shortly before Christmas, my aunt was going through her attic and  found the knife.  She felt it would mean more to me than any of her children.

Blade appears to be stainless steel.  Cross guard and hilt are brass.  Handle appears to be horn.  The scabbard is wood covered with the crushed velvet with a brass throat and and tip.

The first two inches of the blade were horrible bent by about a half inch.  After testing the the flex of the blade, I carefully straightened the blade with vice.  While it is still slightly bent, it now goes in and out of the scabbard easily. I know some people would never risk such an attempt.   But then you didn't know my dad.  Hw would've rolled over in his grave If I didn't try to straighten out the blade!
