In case the 20 is a MONSTER, in which case the race would shape up differently, I played 2 savers the 20 over the 9, and over the 16. Good luck to all those who may venture out into the Derby mistique. ::nod:: ::tu:: Not ...

Re: Bear Mfg-USA

The facility in Alabama was originally Parker-Edwards...then Parker's business, which he eventually sold to 3 guys who worked for him (McIntosh/Griffey/C....?) and it became Bear MGC. Then, the business was sold to Victorinox (who wanted the plier patent), but still was known as Bear MGC. Then, Vict...

Re: Classic Arms Intl

It is not very likely that Classic Arms made the knife...but, much more likely that they had knives made on contract for them. If you can show the markings in your pictures, great! If not, please try to describe the markings, especially around the ricasso area. Capitals...small letters...Country. I ...
