Caught these guys in a dimly lit, smoky back room. Coulda sworn I heard one of them saying "... Health care..." when I came in. You gotta watch these
congress every minute!
Left to right: late 1960s leftie Boker USA, tree shield with no 'r', jigged delrin handles, model 6484; Swing voter and Y2K hipster doofus, Solingen made, tree shield w/ 'r', grand canyon jigged bone handles, model 70113 with "Boker" blade etch; Distant cousin and self professed "moderate", Solingen made, solingen shield, washboard bone handles, model 70113 with KING CUTTER blade etch; Grizzled right wing veteran from 1982, long in the tooth Boker USA, Genuine jigged bone, "Tree Brand" shield, model 5974.
Somebody's been watching too much CNN.
