This knife was kindly sent to me by my friends at Knives and Tools.  An interesting, larger folding hunting knife with rosewood scales, made in Italy, and it’s quite affordable too!

This pen showed up in a drawer here.  Nobody knows where it came from or how long it has been there, but it looks like it’s been a very long time…  Still, as an interesting piece of history, I felt it should be shown here.  Given the simplicity of the pen, I decided to only upload a picture of the writing sample.
