heirlooms
my grandfather passed away 9 years ago at the age of 91. He was a first generation immigrant, and also in his late 20's, became a first generation hunter. He worked and retired at the sugar mill as a machinist. Two things that he owned now are in my posession. A Remington m722 in .300 savage, and an old knife made by his own 2 hands, a handle made out of red rubber and aluminum washers strewn up on tang (made from a welded bolt) contained by an aluminum pommel machined out of a big nut, and a stainless steel handguard which guides the 8 1/2" Atlantic steel forged blade into many an unlucky wild pig. Took up leatherwork a few years ago and made my very first case for it with the name "GRAMPS" stamped on the side. It won't win any knife shows for sure, and the blade needs TLC as ain't as rust resistant as those shiny new Bucks and Spydercos, but you can find it hanging from my hip where ever and whenever I'm hunting, he taught me to hunt, and he watches over me througout my hunts, and I wouldn't sell it for anything.... well maybe a million bucks... hehehe A virgin? Hell no, that old whore's been killin' critters for over 70 years! Maybe I'll post a pic later when I find out what I did with my camera...
with that said... option 5 is send it to Boarhunter...
Aloha
