I sure do like this new knife. I'm going to get one.

Homer would say,"Doh."

Hi Belmont, BTB, you and I are on the waiting list. If they're numbered we should ask for numbers one, two and three. John I would love an early numbered new otf "Q"! How would one go about asking for an early number John? :) :D Hi Belmont, We'll have to go to Italy and ask him in person. All kiddi...
