I appreciate your comment very much, toomanyknives.
I have no doubt that you're well on your way to what you want.

Pocket knives hold such a value in their use.

Joe, thanks for posting that pic. I admit that I knew nothing of Lew Sarett, though I see that a great deal of his life and career was spent in Illinois. Growing up where I did, English literature classes seem to spend an inordinate amount of time on the other "locals", Sandburg, Upton Sinclair, Edgar Lee Masters, etc. but I don't recall hearing of Lew Sarett. Maybe I was daydreaming through class on that particular day.

Nice knife too!

I agree with that evaluation Alan .. the Moki would be my safe queen also

Thanks. I’ve seen it 2-3 times but this was the only time I managed to capture it using my phone

Sitting on the couch and needed a fiddling tool. Grabbed this old HSB to scratch the itch. I've shown it before, but it's a great little letter opener!

He may not have been mentioned. I enjoy his "outdoor poems".

Thanks, Ike, I'm glad you like the knife.
