Here's one of the "Cracker" knives, upon completion. The blade etching, LONG LIFE, "CRACKER" has 2 meanings or wishes. Only Florida Crackers were eligible to get these, and the "long life" extends the well-wishes...along with the fact that "Lignum Vitae" is from the Latin: "long life" or "wood of life"...(I've heard both and am sure only "1" is correct). Pictured below is an early "Cracker" knife. Stay Sharp, Capt. Chris
