Just bought a new knife while I was in town at the trading post an old man run's there. Bought it about 2 hours ago. It's a large hunting knife, sort of Bowie but a little different. It's called a Magnum and is made by Boker out of Solingen Germany. It is sharp as a razor blade and has beautiful heft and balance to it. It's a real pretty knife and I had just bought some cigarettes and had him fill a 100 pound propane tank for me and he called my attention to the knife. Since I'm an old and pretty steady customer of his and he alway's give's me a nice little discount on my propane and tobacco products I felt obligated to at least look at it. He must have a hundred knives for sale in there but I never pay attention to them. As soon as I picked this one up it felt good. As soon as I hefted it and saw the name 'Solingen Germany' on the box I was hooked. I quickly ran this month's bills through my mind and decided to go for it. I know damn well I'll never use it for anything. I hardly ever get past one of my Old Hickory's or my Leatherman SuperTool. I hope it has good steel in it....
