Craig .. you're also a WWII history buff .. here's one for you .........................

My Father-in-law was dropped into Holland & also fought in Bastogne .. 101'st airborne .. He swears to having never been issued one of these .. "n I took that one over & showed him as an example .. explaining that the paratrooper's unit reportedly had brown jigged bone. 

Welcome to the "Carbon Steel Knife Group". We love a good patina, here, and a knife like grand paw use to have. We'd love to hear what you think of carbon knives.

Craig, Welcome to the Great Eastern Cutlery Group, we're glad you joined us.

Craig, welcome to the Stockman Pattern Group.

    Thank you Craig.    Terry

Sorry, I didn't notice the Birthday comments...I'm still trying to get used to this kind of forum (?) setup. It's strange to me!

But, thanks for the Birthday wishes!
