Boys today do not carry a pocket knife because school policies will not allow them. What a shame. Every man needs to carry a knife. (I bet I use mine at least 3-4 times every day.) None of these kids who grew up with the rediculous restrictions will carry a knife as an adult. SAD!
For an interesting excursion for those interested in such things, google "Hand made knife" and the state you are interested in. You'll see some nice work.
Beautiful story! I have one of those that belonged to my grandfather.
