Wayne; one of the most stunning examples of a pre-Tested Case knife that I have ever seen!! Is there a story as to how and where you found it?

Wow Tom, that old 88 hits most of my buttons. Case, Rogers bone, long pull, great swedges on the blades. What's not to love about it? Now, if it was also a whittler...............
