Thank you for the link! It brought back fond memories from my childhood, and the "real" men who I looked up to and tried to learn from.

Reminds me of my Dad and how I grew up, the way he raised me and the example he, and the other men of that rural area, lived and worked. He (and they) were men who " stood on their hind legs". I think that's why I have such a facination with traditional pocket knives. For me they represent more than merely carbon steel blades, nickel and brass, bone, wood or other material for handles. They represent my Dad and the ethic of men like himself that we seem to be losing (if not already lost).

Good read! Thanks, OH
Deep in the guts of most men is buried the involuntary response to the hunter's horn, a prickle of the nape hairs, an acceleration of the pulse, an atavistic memory of his fathers, who killed first with stone, and then with club...Robert Ruark

Get ahold of smiling-knife. I think he can tell you your password or maybe set you up with a new one.
