And both Damascus - cool!
Yeah.... I had that one coming!If she gives you anything scabby you might want to see if there is a cream for you and some antibiotics for her.
I don't know anything about this Gilbreath outfit
She must have a long enough "Honey Do" list that she thought you would need some help...I got a multi tool!
I've seen that movie too!I got a multi tool!
That sounds damn interesting. Do you have any photos of it?I just gave my wife a modified/rebuilt Victorinox Craftsman (sharpened the side of the cap lifter into a shallow carving tool and replaced the old scales with ruby clear ones, added a straight pen and a ball point). She'd rather get hand tools and power tools than anything else. I just make sure she gets good ones.
What is that dished out area with the notch cut on either side of it?If I have to be drawn into this fake, commercialized holiday, I can revel in the fact that my Gal gives me cool stuff&things.
I don't know anything about this Gilbreath outfit but she knew I'd love the shape.

Todd.
What is that dished out area with the notch cut on either side of it?
Wouldn't you have to use it as a pry tool for that to happen?It makes no sense at all in a knife of this design (or any design I can think of right off the bat), but 30 years ago all sorts of things were being tried by knife makers. Those notches almost ensure blade breakage at that point.

An old superstition is that you never give a knife for a gift, since it will sever the relationship.
I was going to suggest a penny, but didn't want her to think that hubby was a cheapskate.I've been given so many knives from friends, family, makers, and manufacturers that I believe I've disproven that old myth. BTW, a penny will do if you adhere to it since nothing requires the value to factor into it.

That's an interesting thought. Never occurred to me.When I saw the cuts in the spine I assumed it was some sort of "blade catcher" gimmick as that has been a thing on other larger Bowie type knives I've come across. I've seen several variations on the idea, but nothing exactly like that.
It is a neat knife though. Fun one to add to your collection.
Too true.... I'm covered on that cool old tradition. It was after all, Valentine's Day.An old superstition is that you never give a knife for a gift, since it will sever the relationship. Gifting, yes; buying, no. As a result, give her a dollar to keep your marriage intact.

I think I'll go with that.
