All About Pocket Knives

WOW! PRESTO! BOING! Why did I waste those hours poking around. I should just ask the magic genies in the first place. http://serve.mysmiley.net/love/love0030.gif Thanks so much for the rapid-fire knowledge, Miller & OW. And you are right! A close look at the butt bolster and one side shows swiv...

DSC04517-e.jpg After foraging around for a week this seems the likely place to ask my first major dumb question and attempt my first pic post.

I bring greetings from the southest shore of the north coast. :lol: I was born at a very early age with nothing and still have most of it. I've lived under the last 13 presidents of the US and I love my country and detest politics. I have a grown son and daughter that I'm very proud of and 5 grandk...
