Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 So Gerber has attorneys, I see. Nice knife. Sharp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 I gnu you needed a new knife. To stay safe in bear country, always carry a small pocket knife and hike with a friend. If a bear attacks, stab your friend in the leg and run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Good GAWD!! That our society has descended to the point where that is necessary. Of course, in the early '70s I saw an ad in Guns and Ammo for surplus bayonets with a warning that they were sharp and could inflict serious or lethal injuries. That was also around when we started seeing warnings on hand held blow dryers about not using them while in the shower. One of my brothers commented that we should be thankful that people who needed such warnings bathe at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
