    "Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana."

    I worked with a manager who would call over-tightening something "gorilla fisted". Originated with a guy that was notorious for assembling products that would become impossible to service without a breaker bar!

    It was 'Ham Fisted', Mike! (an entirely different thing!)

    If it was something I said, it would have been ham-fisted.

    I wish my arms were long enough to reach.

    See if your wife has a spare hug and tell her I will replace it when I see her.

    Tom, one day I figured Burrell must have been a part of the Case family when I saw Ellicottville, NY was in the same area as Case & all the other Cutlery firms related to them. I have two of those C-Mon Blackie's & now I need to dig 'em out to see if they have that USA on the end of the tail. I have a Top Flight too & it's a nice razor. The Blackie's are nice also, one has some slight hone wear but no big deal.
    Then below I have the family tree beginning with Platts, Case, then Platts/Case. The next pic shows Cattaraugus County that shows some of those towns where some of the cutlery's were. The last two are the chronology of events beginning eith Charlei Plattas & ending with Western Cutlery in Boulder, CO.
