A Tewksbury at Aswan

As promised, the following is a pic of y-t and friend Halim at Aswan. That's an F&K Maple Leaf built by Barb Tewksbury. Unfortunately, I arrived in Aswan on holiday just a few days after Barb left from a work assignment. Too bad; that would have made a wonderful picture!

Good photo. I have to admit, the more I see the Maple Leaf tartan, the more I like it. Did you have any trouble getting the sgian through customs? Is that an ankh stuck in your belt with what appears to be a key attached?

No trouble at customs, but I must admit I put it aside whenever I was out-of-doors. The only "knives" unconcealed are those carried in their boots by the local police. Yes, that's a very heavy room keyfob in the shape of an ankh.
