They're beautiful knives. I figured that during a vacation, when a woman's
buying earrings like mad, and OK with paying $11.00 for sandwiches, a knife
wouldn't have been a problem. Live and learn.

Like I tell my wife...
It's not a case of need...it's a case of want!
These knives are produced here in Nova Scotia and I believe they still
have
free 'knife sharpening clinics in various
locations on occasion. I haven't gone in a number of years, but it was
neat
to see the old craftsman do his thing in front of an appreciative
audience.

note: 'marlin spike' with slot for shackle pins

I almost bought one of those while visiting Tobermory a few years back.
But,
I made a mistake. My wife asked "Whattya need it for?" I answered "Need?
Whattya mean?"
