Re: Sunday Drive in Minneapolis

Why are people so frustrated that they become violent and destructive ? They were not born violent and destructive.

Your knife is a whittler, missing both secondary blades. There are still quite a few "Her Majesty" knives 'out there' that have been used but will all blades present and close to full. Winning bid prices are often quite reasonable. Over time you could build a very fine collection of Jos R...

Old Rodgers-Cutlers to her Majesty

Here is a really nice and really old Rogers-Cutlers to Her Majesty knife. Initially I thought this was a single bladed knife but upon further inspection I looks like it had 2 short blades that had been cut off. At first I thought it was a nice slot for the single blade but if you notice it has small...
