Grand Torino

My father was 81 years old when he passed away and carrying one of these in a shoulder rig from the time he got it in 1968 I believe. He shot a would be robber in 1971 that broke into our home. The robber was also armed but one shot from the .44 Mag and the guy dropped to the floor dead. He said it was the best money he ever spent on anything in his life. He was a WWII vet in the Pacific and wasn't a believer in small caliber weapons. So I wish you the best in dealing with your dad cause I know what's like trying to educate my old man about new stuff.

Oh......there's plenty more where that came from.

This is a modified wharncliff I made for my daughter in law to her specifications. It's made from 1095 5/32 " thick carbon steel professionally heat treated to RC 59/60. It has a blade length of about 4 1/4" with an over all length of 8 1/2". It was twice etched then lightly sanded with 800 grit to reveal the details. The scales are Australian redwood burl mixed with alumilite. Still need a sheath....I'll get to it soon.

You da man. :up:  :up:
