No, it was something my bank account said, (it said "hey, do you like eating? Then you better lay offa the pocket knife thing for awhile".). I'm kinda sorta caught up I think, so I should be around more in the future. I've also been trying to pay off an expensive piece of sound equipment I thought I couldn't live without, so that has cut into my knife budget too. But, I saw this old beauty and couldn't resist giving myself a Christmas present, so I'm back to my old self again!

I know the words to that song. For some reason I just can't seem to bring myself to sing it. I guess I just don't mind rice and beans. Good to see you posting again. You know you don't really need to post a knife every time. Just hanging out here is good enough.

Shinwa---Black Takegara; G10 textured handle w/clip; stainless steel blade; 5” closed; Made in China.
Kutmaster—Barlow; two stainless steel blades; N/S bolsters; brass liners and pins; simulated bone handle.
Camillus--(From the producer) "Yello-Jaket knives are back! These pocket knives range from 1 to 4 blades. Blades are AUS-8 Japanese polished steel and are corrosion resistant. Carbon fiber body accents give this line of knives a unique and distinguished look.. Overall Length (Inches): 2.5 (closed). Blade Length (Inches): 1.75. Etched Clip blade. Lifetime warranty." I have no idea what year the Kutmaster and Camillus are, but the Shinwa is new.

My wife Cheryl said this hobby was starting to cost a lot of money, to which I replied "honey we are waaaaay past worrying about that!" I may be eating a cold hotdog tonight.

Your knife is what I would call "Simple Beauty."
