    The Superstition Of Gifting A Knife, Is It Real?

    My dad would not even touch a given knife it it didn't include a coin to be given back in return.. Something he learned from his step dad years WAY back in the depression era. To my Grandpa Fred, to give a knife to someone, without an exchange of even the above mentioned 'companion coin'...

    Any members build their own underhammer rifle lock and or rifle?
