I have had a Kalinga since about 1982. It has been used but not abused. The one that I got from Rick will go to a close friend of mines son. He lives in Maine and always loved to hold my Kalinga for me when I was "indide" of a moose. He is 24 now and graduated from guides school about a year ago.
Yep Rick . . . . you got that right. --- SAWMAN
