Bob,
my hazardous guess is she's home made all the way.

Nice knife. Sure looks solid!

I've seen these before and I really like them. The one I saw on Ebay went for WAY more than I wanted to pay. Last time I looked there was one in an AAPK store, or is this the one?

Jimmy Allen was a little before my time, I guess. I do remember Sky King and I think the young boy in the show was named Jimmy.

Happy belated birthday, Paul. So then Jimmy Allen was before your time too. Sounds like it might have been a pretty good show for kids.
