60 or 70's Gift shop knife?

Purchased this little gem off of ebay as it peaked my interest for being a bit different than most. It reminds me of a gift shop knife that you might find at a Gift shop in a theme park. Its…Continue

I recently made a pretty decent purchase on ebay. 5 Colt knives along with 2 RR knives from the same seller for a very good price. No pics yet as I'm waiting for delivery. My question is one of…Continue

I recently bought a Lansky basic knife sharpening kit as it has the three hones that I would need. Several of the kitchen and a hunting knife have chips in the cutting edge of the blade. Following…Continue

"Been thinking about the passage of time myself , Wally. Told an old HS friend, just today, that we never seemed to think of being around for this long."
Time, how fast it slips away
Think back, when you were young. Days seemed like they lasted forever. every day at least a week long and every week at least a month long. endless Summers or so it seemed. Fast forward a few years. Days seem to go by a bit quicker but not to quick. Seems that by the time we reach the late 20's early 30's, its kind of leveled off and there's time for just about everything. Fast forward a few more years mid 40's, early 50's. Seems time has picked up the pace and the days seem a bit…See More
"It's good to see that all's well, Wally.
Gives me hope that I'll get past my 65th, relatively unscathed. Not scheduled to see my orthopedic doctor, again, until 2024. My first hip implant is going on 28 years now,…"
"Good to hear from you Wally. I guess I am still one of those younger guys... its getting harder and harder to claim that! LOL.
Take care"
Still going..... 75yrs less than a month away
I did not realize how long it had been since I had posted anything here. So its time for a bit of an update. In less than a month I will have a 75th birthday..... I never thought I'd be here this long, although my Dad made it all the way to 91 yrs and still lived on his own. This man did not have a gray hair on his head..Still black. not quite as thick as it once was but still a full head of hair. Me,totaly grey with a ponytail more than halfway down my back. A bit thinner but not by much. …See More

"Wally, my heart goes out to you. As the father of a child with a rare, dangerous, & potentially fatal bleeding disorder, I can't say I feel your pain, but I empathize with you in a rare way. I'm so sorry.
I hope you have…"

We had a lot of good times together and still remained friends after we split. More recent is the passing of my Son this year, 44 yrs in this world, June 1st. A Heart Attack also. He was in really bad health. He nearly lost a leg do to a major infection caused by a Idiot called a Dr. A 6 month Hospital stay for that. The Dr there was very good and…See More
Alcoa employee knife
"I remember seeing a Buck 110 that had Alcoa Aluminum on the blade and the persons name etched on one of the scales..... and that was back in the mid 90's. I do not remember the persons name. It was a collectors item to me. I was never able to…"
"WELCOME HOME WALLY!
It is awfully good to hear from you and I am glad that even if you are a leaky you are still here with us :)
I also think keeping the marks and scars on a well loved knife is the way to keep it. Keep the blade sharp and…"
Still here
It's been a while since I've posted on this. So I figure its time for an update. Still kicking but not near as high, more heart issues. My Dr's have discovered a leaky heart valve. As they stated nothing to worry about as its minor. However in my profesion as an Auto service tech for quite a number of years. When a problem is found it is usually recommended to fix it. A bad/leaky valve cause's a decrease in performance and other possible issues on an Auto and the Heart is you might say is…See More
" Hi Roy,
I believe those Imperial knives were made in Ireland. If I remember correctly Imperial was part of the Schrade company and those particular Imperial knives were made there. I remember reading about the Task Master Set and I…"
