I've got one that is a K Bar. Was my father inlaw's. Not quite as good shape as Edgar's. That's one hell of a knife.

I have 2 Case XX knives, one was my Dad's (I inherited it properly, oh yeah..) the other was my brothers that I appropriated (yes!). They're classic American hunting knives but and this is a big but, I have always felt that the steel they used in their blades for these knives was a bit too soft and they just don't hold an edge sharp very long. The K Bar knife is another knife altogether. Buck blades on their early american made knives will hold an edge well. There are other good classic American knives out there as well. Edgar probably uses that one to hack at his maple trees !

After all the stories I've heard about Eggar, I don't think I want to know what he does with it.

I was thinking possibly a Kabar as my mom worked there in Olean, NY in the 40's. I just saw it on the top of the box and it looked lonely. Possibly the owner would want to simply give it to me. If he would only want to give it to a family member I am available for adoption as I am an orphan.

There's a reason the Marines used the K-Bar in the Pacific during WWII.

Alright Edgar, sense I am the person that hijacked this thread,I thought it my job to put it back on track. I came home from work tonight and the house was full of wonderful smells, bacon frying and home made waffels. My wife bought a new waffle iron to make me dinner. Your syrup was on her mind with the purchase. Fresh waffles and bacon and your syrup, WOW. I don't know which is better, the syrup or the waffles. You make some great syrup. Thanks so much my friend. YumYum.
