Thank you, Roger.
Any etch has long been buffed away.
It is a great, solid, well made knife.

Thank you, sir,

A couple of Robesons.

I don't know what I left on the blade of the first knife to make a sizeable mound of rust that greeted me upon opening it.
I don't know how long I will have to endure this ache in my gut for having done that.
