That is not a bad idea to try!
All the best,

Aye lad, that's a strapping good youngster you brought into the world! You have been blessed, look after him well and later in life he will do the same for you. Great name Samuel, I'm smiling.

Good evening Mr Boker and Mr Vagrant, I have my Camillus aircrew survival knife in front of me as I write this. I presume you mean a 5" bowie type blade with serrations on the spine a stacked leather washer handle with a flat square guard and a hex nut pommel. The blade is phosphate coated, the top ...

Good morning Jim,
If Missaman can handle any situations on the Western Shore, Should you desire, I'll do what I can to keep things on a steady keel here on the Eastern Shore. I'm sure Missaman will vouch for that.
Regards,
OC Sam

Good morning George, Go to Frank Beltrames knife site and look for his B-Guard knife. It is identical to the Hen & Rooster knife. It will tell you all about the knife and show you pictures of it. He retails his at about $36, they come in blue, black or silver. You can usually find the Hen & Rooster ...

Good evening Diana,
Please post a photograph of the front and back sides of the knife. We shall give it our best.
Hope we can help.

Good morning Jagman, Robert Lee Oates aka Bob Oates was a collector, restorer, Guru of the XK-150 Jags. He lived in Scott Depot, W. Virginia near Charleston. He was a very good pal of mine and passed away last year with Cancer. I thought because you are in the Jaguar and motorcar business there was ...

Good evening Missaman,
I've got to agree with Mr. Vagrant 100%. That animal looks unwell, be very cautious when dealing with it!

As always,
Sam

Good morning Natcherly, I've heard of that idea of a more serious wound caused by a Kris style blade. I don't know what is the answer. I wouldn't be surprised if it were not a marketing ploy by some cutler back in the mist of time to increase sales of his edged wares when the sales of straight blade...

Good morning Jagman,
I was of the understanding that one could have a sword of say 28 inches of blade with perhaps 40 inches of edge.

Unrelated question; Did you ever know Bob Oates from West Virginia?

Regards,
Sam Hotton

Good evening Missaman, Must say we missed having you over for the evening. Used my Outdoor 7's gut hook and main blade to clean Willys deer, eviscerate the game birds with the hook, cork screw for the wine, main blade for spreading Pate' ditto for spreading Stilton cheese, and spearing marinated che...

My floppy orange handled Camillus was issued to me in 1971. I carried it in my flight suit with the shroud line hook open. Our Nomex flight suits had a long pocket made for it on the inside of our right leg just below our crotch. The pocket had a flap cover with a snap and a gromet to attach the kni...

Good evening Randy,
Working off a cobwebby memory, and without serious research I believe the correct holster would be in brown leather, slim in profile with a flap marked U.S. in an oval with a strap and buckle for a leg tie down.
I think
