Now there is a knife worth having! Most of the hand made knives I see are about as useless as tits on a bore hog! I have no idea what folks think they are going to do with a blade two three times as long as the handle and no drop point.
You could actually do some real work with that blade and have nice control of it. MD

Thank MD and others

ff You used the expression "about as useless as tits on a bore hog!" It reminede me of a German fellow that we had working for us as an electrician. He had funny ways of misquoting American sayings. One day he showed up without his helper. I said "Hey, Bert, where's your helper?" He replied "I didn't bring him. He's vertless (worthless)." I then asked "What do you mean by worthless?" Bert responded "I mean, he's vertless....vertless. Like damn dits (tits) on a suitcase." :rotf:
