Yup, my fourth article (so far) for American Thinker is published today. "The Pursuit of Happiness in the Trump Economy" is some musing about how the biggest payoff from the decreased taxes and rebounding manufacturing is that more Americans are already enjoying more money and just as important more time for leisure activities. Which can mean their families or their hobbies... or activities toward improving their circumstances. And that is where the true progress of our culture comes from in great part.
And if you've read it already, you know how much I share about my late father, Robert Knight. And how he found his true calling as a knifemaker. Since he's written about so much in the piece, I thought it would be neat to share some photos of him and his handiwork...

The knives Dad made from railroad spikes were his favorite to make. Also the ones of his most in demand. He also made knives from horseshoes and industrial ball bearings. If it was metal, he found a way to make it malleable and given a good sharp edge. And made to look pretty darn elegant, too.
