I'll also point out that the bolo ties (which were gifts from my wife) probably cost more than all the cloth ties together. One of them is a LARGE chunk of silver shaped as a grizzly, another (which I happen to know listed for US $300.00, but she doesn't know I know that) is black onyx set in silver. And I'm talking 99.99% pure silver here!

The important thing, though, is that if I need to I can cast silver bullets to shoot werewolves with. You never know, out here in Idaho....
