I just found this 7x9 inch framed advertising picture on the Bay. I'm pretty sure that I need it.


Edit:


I'll hang it in our living room where I sit with the knife mounted to the frame with some small little metal hooks or something of the art.

I hate when I do that, which is a lot.


She's a looker for sure. I couldn't help myself either when I got mine. I am not a big fan of some gold tone knives I've seen in the past, but the Champaign Gold Alox is just smooth looking. Even if it is textured.jerryd6818 wrote: βTue Sep 14, 2021 4:28 pmAnd what choice did I have but to follow in your footsteps.
