Bill - Henckles and the Americans - sounds like a good name for a band - maybe you could be their bass player :D Seriously, I have a question.

My research indicates that Wustof ceased production of "pocketknives" in the 1970s, but didn't yield any information regarding their marketing of ...

boots,

I didn't buy from the cart, but ordered mine instead. That way, you don't have to worry about being fast with the add to cart button. Of course, you don't receive your knife as quickly.
