Who Knew??? Case knives cause...

The W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has a very rich history that began in 1889 when William Russell (“W.R.”), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. The company has produced countless treasures and it continues to do so as one of the most collected brands in the world.

I bet it is one of those that California requires. They put in on everything just to be sure.

Ah, good 'ol Proposition 65. The poster child for the Nanny State. That is a *22 page* list of chemicals and substances. My favorite item on the list is: "Salted fish, Chinese-style"

Yep, more Kalifornia lunacy. Note the www URL on the label. Everything in Kalifornia has one if those labels, or a sign posted. It's so pervasive that no one pays any attention to them - sorta like chicken little. :lol:

Basically, everything a sportsman would use causes harm in California. I just got this fish scaler ... I am so glad I do not live in California!

California ruins everything. Believe me I know. We have Beaches, Deserts, and Mountains all around us, and we also have the stupidest politicians on the planet.

Probably the chromium in the steel.

I have more or less the same fish scaler (still in pack) in my tackle box, and it says the same thing.

I lived there and did my school in in Cali. But I was smart and moved to the great of Georgia in 1972. California is like a box of granola , when you take away the fruits and nut all that's left is the flakes
