Fabulous information my friend, that is perfect...I truly love the historical side of knife collecting and it's longevity...

I could not have gotten better information from anywhere unless Mr. Winterbottom told me himself...

Thanks,

Yes thanks for that. I enjoyed both the Rogers and Winterbottom articles.
