Cold Steel's Amazing "TANTO LiTE"


 This amazing fixed Blade knife was my latest Amazon deal!

I paid $50 Cdn and it is a far superior knife than I was expecting.

The blade is 6 inches and the steel is 4116 German Steel, and it comes out of the box as sharp as any samurai sword!

The grippy handle is made of some type of space age thermo-plastc polymer material and it really makes it easy to safely and securely work with this knife.

The first "38's"



This is the first "38" that I ever bought.

It's a .38 caliber rimfire single action revolver that was made around 1880.

It is marked with the tradename & model number: "Robin Hood No.4", as well, also engraved on the side of the barrel is the date of a Patent owned by F.Hood, who was the owner of Hood Firearms Co. In Norwich, Connecticut during the 1870's-80's.

I have read about how Hood made the .22 caliber & .32 caliber revolvers, but this model was made under license by Whitney Manufacturing company.
