I don't splurge on much. I drive Ford's, I wear Wal-Mart clothes and 15 dollar Timex Watches but I wanted a custom Swiss Army Knife so I had one built for me. Here's some pics.

beautiful knife, DTH!

BTW, Welcome back

How goes the computer studies?

Thank you. Actually, I switched to Medical assistant in school. I can reason with people a lot easier than computers. But it's going great. I'm carrying a 4.0.

As the maid poured wine and we prepared to dine I know I was feeling out of place
At table as large big as a river barge and I love you written all on your face
I appreciate your hospitality but I wish that we would go
Let me drive us to McDonalds and Ill talk to you concerning something you should really know

Im just a common man drive a common van
My dog aint got a no pedigree
If I have my say, gonna stay that way
Cause high-browed people lose their sanity
And a common man is what Ill be

Ill take a Chevrolet just any day so give your daddy back his Mercedes Benz
And theres some common people that I hang out with
Theyre my good time buddies theyre my friends
And Id rather chug-a-lug a mug of Budweiser beer then sip a crystal glass of wine
So wont you make your mind up to believe in me and leave this high living world behind?

Im just a common man drive a common van
My dog aint got a no pedigree
If I have my say, gonna stay that way
Cause high-browed people lose their sanity
And a common man is what Ill be

Yes Im happy just being free
And Im happy just being me
And I hop that you will see

Im just a common man drive a common van
My dog aint got a no pedigree
If I have my say, gonna stay that way
Cause high-browed people lose their sanity
And a common man is what Ill be

Im just a common man drive a common van
My dog aint got a no pedigree
If I have my say, gonna stay that way
Cause high-browed people lose their sanity
And a common man is what Ill be

You could say that song describes me.

That's a beauty-the swiss army knife.
And oh by the way I drive Ford's too, shop at walmart and buy Timex watches.

Got a lot in common with our Ducktapehero.

Great news that you are doing so well in school.
Congratulations.
How is your son and beautiful wife doing?

love,
rosie

Though not usually a woman thing--- I have a little collection too. I don't have a custom swiss army knife but I do have one. They are quite useful. One of these days I want a few swords to add to my collection.. LOL

Very nice knife!

They're doing great. Although my son is now 2 so he's a pain in the butt quite a bit but that comes with the territory.

There's a sermon in those pics Ducktape....Wer'e all custom swiss army knives. Custom built by the Lord. Riding in his hip pocket waiting to be used for his purpose

He needs to sharpen me, I'm pretty dull.


sorry couldn't resist.

I do not know why you said, "Women are allowed to skip this post."!

I have a real Swiss Army bayonet, with the leather case stamped "1930", primo condition, some kind of stainless blade metal. I got it in Leichtenstein for about $35 US. Cooler than any guy's wimpy little "Swiss Army" pocket knife.

Try not to be jealous.

Teressa.

I have a big Ka-Bar too so I'm not jealous.

Truly a cool knife! How did you get it custome made? I picked two Swiss knives in Switzerland 1986 for our sons......and I am jealous! Yup! I'm jealous.

When we were in Italy I stopped at a knife store for my karate buddies and picked up some knives for them! I had about six switch blades and one was over 12" long......I gave that to my buddy, Ken. We always took our tests together. We were so frightened to test in public....that our instructor decided to put us together! He said it was easier to test us both at the same time because he got nervous watching us test one at a time on different months! Ken and I would both have panic attacks....and I'd hyper venalate..... Kenny would get real quiet....and I know he had a few beers because I could smell his breath. We both got our black belts! A miracle! Anyhoo....I saved the big switch blade for Ken....he was six four and 250lb of solid muscle. I was five four and 118 pounds and solid! We looked like Mutt and Jeff.

Oh, and guess what? I did not know the knives were illegal until we got back to Germany.....we drove to Italy with our friends who were at the time living in Germany. I put them in the suit case with all our stuff from Israel....and made it all the way back home!

Now I know how those smuggling Bibles into courntries feel when crossing boarders.

God Bless <><

That's weird....I hit the button and it came on twice.....

I had the guy at this website do it. He did a great job, fast too.

I'm also on a Swiss Army Knife forum with a bunch of other Swiss Army Knife fanatics. There's a whole lot of people over there who know how to modify these things.

Thanks for the info......

God Bless <><
