I was looking for information on a pocket knife that I found in my own Grandfather's workbench when he passed away - and it is a Joseph Feist knife. <br /><br />How pleasant is it to meet a part of the family attached to the making of this knife. Great story and writing.Shooflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706928036005141585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363366513572178690.post-52460613267214449352008-12-01T15:21:00.000-08:002008-12-01T15:21:00.000-08:00I arrived here through Corey's blog.I started read...I arrived here through Corey's blog.<BR/>I started reading and glancing over your sweet blog and then...

My daughter asks about ours, but I have very few answers, other than my Mom said we were black Irish, and grandma said american Indian. Not much to go by.
