If someone wants, they can change the handle themselves, like Peter or Deke Slayton

It would be great if someone living nearby went and looked to see if the knife was still there or if it has already been removed from the exhibition?

Thank you very much!

They sometimes disappear. I sent a friend to the museum where Gary Powers' knife was supposed to be on display, but they couldn't find it and couldn't even tell if it had been moved to an archive or somewhere else although the rest of the parts - the coin, the gun, the helmet and the clothes - were in place

Curious how some people want to tinker with what is already right.

You would think they might better use their creativity to do something original, from scratch.
