And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Carried a small buck thru couple years of high school. They went crazy about then and threatened eternal expulsion for merely having one. Did not stop stabbings among certain groups as i remember. With practice and luck , i can flick open a loose buck.
Have carried the same Barlow since '81.
ReplyDeleteI have the bottom one in my pocket at all times...except at the airport.
ReplyDeleteMight need to slice up an apple.
ReplyDeleteGot a Buck like the top one, that was a farewell gift from my unit at Ft. Knox in 1981. Most guys got a Zippo, but I didn't smoke at the time.
ReplyDeleteI used to carry the bottom one until I found flippers. Nothing like one handed opening when the need arises.
