Re: C Jul Herbertz switchblade
The last time I was in Switzerland, a few years ago, it seemed that Swiss Army knives were for sale in every retail establishment of every kind.

Re: I ordered the Kershaw Launch 17 this morning.

Re: Remembering Al

Re: Henckles and the Americans
Yeah Bill, the knives are much cheaper. My son and his wife live in the central part of your state. They are musicians, and are not famous so they are not wealthy (unlike some other residents of their area). Housing prices there have skyrocketed!
