Those are some neat knives, thank for posting :thumbsup: Its been a long time since I saw that movie, I thought the premise was that after he had been left for dead with nothing he came across an Indian skirmish and took the flint knife or spear point from a dead guy and used it as a knife and strike-a-light. Point in fact, there are documented cases of Europeans in the wilderness picking up Indian stone tools when needed. In a recent Museum of the Fur Trade article there is an example of a strike-a-light made from a piece of a jasper Indian trade blank and Dodderidge noted in the 1820s or so that earlier arrowheads were sometimes used as gunflints by colonists. This topic is very approapriate for this forum actually.

well, i don't really worry too much about the whole HC/PC thing - you can if you want to, just don't insist that i subscribe to your aprticular way of thinking and we'll get along much better.

i really like the knives, HC or not!
