Then .. as time passed .. another Dale joined .. then another. That's when I became "D ale". Many think it's a typo .. it is not.

And .. you've some really nice knives. Certainly .. no need to advertise the exact location of their storage.

Enjoy

Here is a valid link.

.

Also .. I removed the finger guards of the small leverletto that I EDC .. it greatly enhances the pocket carry aspect. i.e. no finger guards catching & frustrating efficient retrieval from one's pocket.
