Did you have any part in designing the AKC slim line? They look almost identical except for the bolster quillions.

No. The Slim line was the basis for the Leverletto.

I see. Well, at least the Leverletto came from good stock. I'll use my slim line and think of you, Bill. It should be well worth the carry time.

I read the story. It is informative. You remained close to the Massaro type knife. I like the Leverletto, but I'm fond of the slim line too.
I'll be fine.

Thanks, Bill.
