A boy and his pocketknife



Granddaddy swore by the Case XX brand of pocketknives.

The ladies in your family are super cute, Jeffrey! And your Granddaddy is a handsome devil!

Your grandfather knew a good knife, Jeffrey. It's funny, so often you hear that "no one makes a good pocketknife like they used to anymore." But Case sure does. And they do it here in America. Personally, I prefer their carbon steel (or CV) blades, the ones that stain just like Grandad's. Those blades may take a wee bit more care than stainless, but they take a great edge easily and hold it.

I still have a few of the knives Granddaddy handed down and Mama has his sharpening set. He would shave the hair off a spot on his arm to show how sharp he had the blades. So you're right mnblade, they do take a great edge.

As a side note: I even gave Baby Butterbeans to my wedding party.
