Great looking knife, Thom. I've never seen ram's horn finished completely smooth like that. All the ram's horn I've seen has the textured finish of the horn. Even the one custom French that I have has some minimal texture.

Although I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting him, I consider him to be a friend for 33 years. He reflected not only my views on life but 40M + listeners. Long live the memory of Rush Limbaugh.

Thanks Jackalope...She is a nice one and I'm extremely fortunate to have her.

Wasp body, flat lock tab, dagger blade, all brass pins including the pivot pin, flat ear guards, unusual spring design and earless liners... these features make for a very unique knife.

The folding guard knives are being counterfeited. I believe the 2 pictured are Italian.

Thanks for the confirmation, Bill. I'm feeling much better about my 2 AKC's.

I believe that this stamp is the first AKC stamp used. I won't buy any AKC knives unless they have this particular stamp. I could be all wet but that's my opinion. Look's like I'm all wet.

i think a lot of the blame should be put on the teachers. maybe this no schools thing could help the youngins get back on track to a better AMERICA Sorry for not being in complete agreement, Tryker.
