Thirteen Knives for Independence Day

I thought in honor of American Independence Day, I would show off 13 American made knives; one for each colony. It is somewhat a random selection. I grabbed some of my favorite American Knives as well as a few that I felt were American Icons for one reason or another. And yes. I got carried away, a little so there's also a little bit of background information about the American War of Independence (AKA) Revolutionary War.
