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.
I have a brand new , never used Model 284 with the stacked wooden handle, heavy green canvas sheath, 4 Airman's survival books and a two sided honing stone. I bought it back in 2013 planning on walking the A.T. But unfortunately I found out that I have a brain aneurism in my head and that was the end of that dream. It's a beautiful tool and the quality is ,well, American. This one was made in Pottstown PA. So if you get a chance to buy one, buy it. I'm going to leave mine to my Grandson, maybe He can accomplish what I set out to do.
A bit expensive that pays off if you are interested in land - road clearing and you have to do it yourself. That vine hook on top is a great way to drag cut thorny brush to your pile. My tool is the traditional ringed leather grip with metal knuckle guard.
