So, there I was, sitting in the Chat Room (I know, right?? Who'd a thunk it??) and somehow the topic in the room gets around to packages in the mail and whatnot. Just at that moment, my kid heads up to the mailbox to check what's there. Jan asks me if I've received anything yet. I figured she meant the knife sharpener that I am waiting very patiently for. (Ya right!! HURRY UP!!) 'Nope', says I...must still be stuck in that magic place between countries that I believe lies somewhere under Chicago. Deep under...then Jan asks if I got anything from her. Nope as well...I didn't think I should be waiting for anything else. Enter kid...

'Nothing for you, Dad...just stuff for Mom.'

Blackjack knives began as a company which imported and marketed specialized hunting, fighting and work knives from South Africa. The company developed throughout the years, introducing its own line of knives produced mainly in Japan. In the early 1990s, Blackjack knives moved all operations to the United States. I have a couple of the orignial Blackjack 1-7's and have always liked their knives. They are very well made and come razor sharp. Their edge is different than most knives and is convex instead of the traditional hollow ground. The originals have gone up quite a bit in value, and have a collectors interest all their own.

Silly me, I believe him. Sooo...as I am up grabbing a coffee, I happen to double check...lo and behold, the name on it is mine, not the wife's! (Says alot for my kid's education, huh??) so I wander to the couch and am looking at this..
