Default I also like knives!

I sent a chromed Colt Commercial Model Government Model in .45 with a nickeled .38 Super upper to Greg Derr, an outstanding gunsmith in MA. I also have 2 Colt .22 conversion units. I asked Greg to work his magic on them!

The knife came by way of Collectors Firearms in Houston. It sat on their website for a year or so beginning at $1,200 and gradually dropping to $750.00. I offered them $650 which they took. Ed Kalfayan was a knife Maker from Michigan who made a very decent knife; for whatever reasons his work was never highly recognized; an oversight to be sure. The scrimshaw and engraving are by Joe Rundell one of the best engravers in the country. Here they are:

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

I'm a Buckeye, born and raised in Ohio. During my time in the Coast Guard I was stationed in Muskegon, Detroit, and Saginaw. When I was a CBP Officer I spent 10-1/2 years living and working in Port Huron.

My wife decided she had enough of cold weather (She's Colombian) so we made the move to Texas.
