That is an awesome piggy bank! And it's about the safest place to keep your money nowadays too!

Birthday? Hope you had a great one!
Anyway, here's a little nailfile, about 6" long. Looks like the inlay came out...

Jerry,
Quite a sight
! There ain't that many knives in all of northwest Florida! Maybe in P.Cola or Tallahassee, but we're lucky if the hardware store has a full display cabinet of Case knives. I'd have to leave my wallet in the truck

He has 11 show cases, a couple of bookcase units and a couple of racks stuffed into what was once a bedroom in a house. He has a few more knives in knife rolls shoved in a couple of drawers. Tom's health isn't very good these days so I'd bet you could buy him out but you're not going to get it for ten cents on the dollar. He's a tough old bird.
Mike, you probably saw him at the show in Janesville. He had several tables. He has a goatee and wears a beat up old cowboy hat.

Not sure if anyone around here likes miniatures but I do. Here are a few that I have made over the years.
