Very happy to hear it Matt, made my day.

I picture Bowbender Mike as this huge 6'6" bloke. Can't picture him crafting a small tab for a youngster!

Mike gave it to Leo when Leo was 4 or so and the little guy keeps hanging on to it. It will be interesting to see what happens when he out grows it.

I admire kids that can look after things (and their parents for teaching them to).

I bought 3 of my nephews pocket knives for Christmas this year, they are between 7 and 11 years old. They have all lost them now, but then they have wealthy folks and loosing stuff is not an issue for them, mom will just buy a new one mentality!

I bought my son a Leatherman when he was 9, he is 21 now and still has it.

Zulu,

Know exactly what you are talking about.

The three grandkids of my eldest daughter will receive nothing from me that I consider a family heirloom.

Parents have taught them nothing about honoring and respecting gifts.

Way to go Leo. i have lost many tabs out hunting and shooting. it is nice to have an extra tab that is already broken in. i hope we get to shoot together this year.
