Excellent work Dale! ::tu:: Congratulations Jerry. That rams horn looks like it was made just to be put on that knife. It's perfect!

Yep, yep, I picked it out. (snaps galluses). :wink:

Post office says it's in Rockford this morning so it should be delivered today along with my 35 Yellow Rose. Wow what a day.

You got that right ole pard. It makes me consider a special display for my most prized knives. The problem with that is what do I leave out. Certainly not this one.

Came in yesterday's mail. My, my, my. It's even better in hand than it was in the pictures. Dale, you outdid yourself this time. Thank you my friend.

I took my own pictures this morning when the light is better here at my desk.

Dale those handles look amazing, perfectly fit. They really compliment the knife. Congrats Jerry, you got a real winner there!
I remember when Tom passed, so many icons from the Baer dynasty of Imperial/Schrade/Camillus passed away in recent years, it's been sad to see them go.

Eric, do you know if Tom's mother is still alive?

May be Eric can shed more light on this but I do recall Tom saying his mom (Angie) had moved into an assisted living facility shortly before Tom passed away.

Last time I spoke to Angie was several months before Tom passed away.

Jerry Dale's definitely got more info on that than me, the last time I had been in contact with Tom was probably a year before he passed away.
