It is amazing to see the differences in knives of the different regions, makes me want to research the diiferences here in the states relative to the north, south, east and west.

I think its time I get my first traditional. (my boy scout knife was a lockback) That romano looks really cool. Invokes an urge to go bass fishing!! JYD 132
