Neat story. Here's the one I got from my dad. I have no idea how long he had it. It is stamped Milano. Not exactly a finely made piece but sure is cool to have. Pig sticker!

Sure better than a dead one!...... Great story about life.

I remember when nearly every kid carried a knife. Now he'd end up in jail.

 

You were ahead of your time...I was 12 then, and had not yet solved the mystery of points and condensers. Soon though,soon.

Cool story!

 

I managed to get a couple of automatic knives from a company that may be (once again) out of business. Classic stiletto style, but with a blue pearl handle. The other two were of other styles. I have never carried any of them outside of my house.

I hope the individual that stole your original gets cut by it every single time he or she uses it.

 

I love stories like this.

 

Just re-read this old post, Thanks, guys. True every word, my old bud Charlie Nunes was killed in action, Viet Nam, '67.
Bad hombre Reuben went into Calif State penal system, passed away in Folsom prison in '83...

 

yes, good read and you, @Atwater Mike, help these guys live on by recalling it.

 

The stable arms I have seen are too stiff to bend, Why would you that when you are holding a knife/tool/ screwdriver?
