Our dad died in 1974, he worked the oil rigs, big iron for 23 years. He was a hunter, which he did all his life, taught his kids to hunt, prepare and cook what he killed. Three weeks ago I got a facebook message from an aunt stating that she had "Your dads hunting knives" She stated that aunt Betty had them since 1964 and when aunt Betty passed in 1994 aunt Ella got them. She said, "They should go to you boys" she would mail them to me. They came in the mail, Sweden HILLBERG ESKILSTUNA, Imperial Gudedge Solingen and a 2013-05-26%2012-36-56.188.jpgERN.

I have my father's original CASE Barlow he carried to work every day. It's great when you can keep them in the family.
