[modeleng] Re: Filing, now O/T--Daggers & stuff

Al,

You ever heard of "thinking ahead"?  Just think of all the love that you are 
putting into that nice soldier's knife so keep on filing.  Is the blade 
stainless?  Needs to be so it won't be sullied by any Muslim blood.

At one time about 35 years ago I thought of selling knife making parts.  I 
wrote to several knife making firms in Germany and England and inquired 
about obtaining forged and tempered blades to go with an assortment of brass 
guards I had made match plates for.  Decided not to do it and talked Turner 
Kirkland into selling blades and other parts.  For years I supplied him with 
various authentic guards I copied from historic Bowie knives.  It got to be 
a bother so I finally quit supplying the guard parts.

What was interesting to me were the letterheads of the firms I was writing 
to. Stuff like " founded in 1600" or "250 years in business".  Heck all of 
these places were in business before our revolution!
