The prime mission objective stated simply: "Perform a manned lunar landing and return". With only 164 days left in the decade, Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin achieved the goal set in motion by President Kennedy in 1961, by landing on the moon on July 20, 1969, a day many of us thought would never happen and now can't believe happened almost 40 years ago.

Presented to his family in 1980, the Congressional Gold Medal has an image of The Duke with the inscribed words: John Wayne, American. Perfect verbiage for the man we know as a patriot and true American.

Tony Bose has interpreted a very old pattern called the "Arkansas Hunter". A large folding hunter made as both a slipjoint and a lockback before the 1930s. This design, made by the W. R. Case® took the Blade Magazine 2008 Knife Collaboration of the Year® honors at the 2008 Blade Show held May 30-31 in Atlanta. This is the most recent pattern adapted by Tony and made by Case for those of us who love old-time knives, made really well.

Case & Sons Cutlery pays tribute to the "Man in Black".
