Oh, and what is the "Thing that goes up"?

Nah, we are just fine! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Favorite knife I ever owned, I think. I miss it!

Nice Peasy. Mine is my Negrito hunting bolo. Only paid $2.50 for it in the Philippines WAY back in '75 I think it was when I got it. Dead soft steel. Made from the leaf spring of a truck or jeep. But you wouldn't believe what I have done with that thing. It's retired now, with a place of honor and brought out every once in a while to admire and wonder, once again.

May not look like much, but it did what it was made to do.

I dunno, I think its somewhere in Mexico.

I was trying to make a visual pun, its a street sweeper <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

The "thing that goes up" was some dumb politician's name for a folding stock on a spas-12 shotgun.

I had the sheath made around 1979. Guy who owned a shoe repair place made it for me. Cost me 6 times as much as the knife. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Oh, sorry I busted your bubble MD. Ah the spas 12. THAT was a big gun! Personally I didn't like it.

I dunno
I like the looks of that old bolo

With all the newer knives I have (Dan's!) you would think I wouldn't be so enamored with something that cheap and low grade.

BUT, I would get rid of some of my more expensive blades before I would that one.

Haha, I would give my left Nut If Dan would make a knife EXACTLY like that. Heck, I even checked into seeing if anyone could heat treat the blade for me without destroying the knife. Never got any answers.
