<p>I read somewhere that today was national knife day, so that's</p>
<p>my excuse.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I was given this one by my brother-in-law. He said he just came by</p>

<p>granddaughters, one for the wife and I am not sure about the 4th one. But They were</p>
<p>on sale for $9.99 and every other color was $45.00 so I bought 4. Here is its picture.</p>

<p>My oldest son is a security guard and the other day he had to stop someone going through the metal detector when it</p>
<p>went off. It seems the man had a yellow handled Case 3254 carbon steel trapper. He informed the man that he couldn't take the knife in with him and did he want to return to his vehicle and put the knife up. The man told him no you can have it or just throw it in the trash. So naturally my son brought it home to me. It had been so long since it had be oiled that the blades acted like the springs were lazy and you could not read the tang stamps. A little lube and a swipe with a little emory and the snap was back in the blades and the tang could be read. It is amazing what some people do.</p>
