I don't think Paul meant any offense to his character. That is just a silly price for something that isn't fake, stolen, or abused. Hey guys, I in no way took offence to Deacon's post, infact I fully understand him saying what he did. Well, he just came back and I payed him. I took a Boker of his h...

If you're sure they're not stolen, that's a very good price for a NIB PE Chinook III. Definitely NOT stolen. This older gentlemen is a parts driver for a Kia dealership where I buy my Kia collision parts and the first time I met him he saw my Native 5 on my desk and just tried to overwhelm me with ...

What would you consider a great price, Cutlery Shoppe has them for $156.80. Because I did take a long look at it !

Chinook C63GP3

Just had a parts driver from one of my vendors come into my office with a box full of knives. One is this Chinook thats still in the box and is brand new, looks like it had never been out of it box. He said he would be back in a couple of hours and wants $125.00. Good deal? He also has a stainless R...

I still carry my SE Cricket and my Wegner Jr. from time to time. Those were my first two. The Wegner is the only knife that I worry about carrying, I would hate to lose it ! Would love to see an updated sprint of the Wegner Jr. with maybe VG-10, a wire clip and a larger opening hole. It's a great si...

I know its well above the $250 price point but have a look at Calavera cutlery's El Patron. Comes in either a folder or a flipper and in D2 or 3V steel. Blade sizes are 3.25" and 3.75". Spoke with Jim at Howe's last week about Jeremy and he had nothing but great things to say about him and...

I'm not sure I see the reason that the Belt Man belts would be considered "must have"s. They appear to be well-made, and as they are designed to be gun belts, they have some sizings and features that many types of belts would not. the elephant hide belt sounds like one I would wear, and p...

Don't know how you feel about a paddle holster, some folks don't like them. I carry a Glock 26 everyday in either a Comp-tac paddle or a Alabama Flapjack belt holster. I use both holsters with a Belt Man belt (awesome must have purchase). Holster is only as good as your belt but you already know tha...

I posted a thread just like this a couple months ago and someone suggested a VG-10 Stretch. I ordered one that day and
am very happy with it. And it gets used EVERY Saturday and 2 or 3 other days of the week !

I have big-ish hands (size L gloves) and I prefer the feel of the the Delica to the Native so that's something to consider. Both are fine knives, though. Have you checked out the Manix 2 Lightweight or the Endura? Thanks evan, probably should have mentioned my BIL is a real life Brutus, he can almo...

Mine is really simple. I want a G10/VG10 Caly 3. I know Sal said we are getting a Superblue Caly 3 and i will get one of
those as well. I love my Caly 3.5 but would really like the smaller version as well.
