   I'm going to be 65 this coming year.  And over the past years, I've   
   owned a fair amount of pocket knives of various makes.  I'm no expert on   
   the topic of knives, not by any stretch of imagination. But I do know   
   what I like in a knife.  About a month ago, I attended a large indoor   
   yard sale in New Hampshire. I was looking for a pocket knife to replace   
   one which I had given away as a gift.  At a vendor's table was a cigar   
   box with a handful of what appeared to be old pocket knives.  I handled   
   each one and made my choice, and paid the asking price of $15.00_   
      
   About the knife:   
      
   The knife's blades (3) are of a carbon steel, which is what I prefer.   
   Closed, this knife measures about 3 3/8 inch. The grip panels appear to   
   be of a dark, bone like, man made material, and very nicely jigged.  A   
   few passes over a wet stone and the blades are as sharp as they need be.   
   There's a manufacturer's inscription on one of the blades that reads   
   "John Primble."  I love the looks and feel of this old pocket knife more   
   than any knife I've ever owned, and it's my constant pocket companion   
   where ever I go.  I shall never part with it.

   Anything like this one?
