Hello folks, "Crumugeonintraining here. I'm a 53 YO feller who has always just plain appreciated knives of all sorts. I've grown out of the young "Huge knives are the only cool ones" phase, and currently carry nothing larger than a 3.5 inch blade, plus at least one utility type device, either a boy-scout knife or a multi-tool. (Plus always at least two flashlights and a fire starting device.)
I'm here because I own an approx 140 year old folding knife made by Krusis Brothers and I'm trying to determine its worth and history. Not that I would sell it unless things got dicey, since it belonged to my great great grandfather, but I'd like to know more about it.
If anyone does know something about the Krusis folders I'd like to hear from you. use raven2004@ptd,net if you want.
Other than that, I own and use a number of blades, from a 1.5 inch gentleman's pocket knife, to a couple of Kukris and a machete or two.
One thing I can not stand is how so many of today's generation (and some of the more sheepish older folks as well) are so in fear of knives, and look on those who carry them as some kind of barbarian or savage! What ever happened to self-sufficiency?
Curmudgeon out!
