Mani Adams replied to the discussion 'What knives do you carry?'"Hi Paz;

I trained in Inosanto/Lacoste in London and I also had a work…"

Henry Paz replied to the discussion 'What's knives do you carry?'"I carry a small whittler as my son found a special place for my Spyderco Native that can't be remembered. LOL.
