While visiting with my grandfather a few weeks ago, he had mention he lost his pocket knife. To me that was nuts as I have never seen him NOT have one!
I believe he had a two blad, maybe old timer?
Anyways here are the stipulations:
It must "fit" a 85 year old man
Must take Paypal (as I will be out of town at work and wont be able to send a check/mo)
Must not be super expensive as A. I dont have that much extra cash and B. My grandpa won't know the difference in a $40 knife and a $400 knife.
Must be able to have it to me no later then July 30, as his birthday is August 1st and we are going out of town to celebrate it with him and I would need to have it with me when we leave.
Thanks in advance.

Your post brought a tear to my eye! I have a 3 blade Uncle Henry, it's in good shape but it is used, I don't know if your looking for new or used as it is a gift? But I would just give it to you to give to him. Let me know in a pm. I can text you pics.

Maby the knife wasen't lost. maby It was taken for safety purposes, Think twice before giving an 85 year old an sharp object to hurt himself with.

I'd sure like to think his family would let him in on it if they took paws knife away! I bet the op knows what's up
Great deal all around here.
