That's a good looking knife. ::tu::
The choil area seems a little long though.

Kind of like this one.

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff

I finally took this one out to do some paperwork this past weekend and I absolutely love it! This thing is just a pure pleasure to shoot! I had 3 other 9mm to compare it with and the only one that was close, or maybe slightly better, was my CZ75B. I think with a little more practice, this little 19...

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff

I love a Commander size 1911! But the only lightweight 1911 I have is actually my wife’s Kimber Ultracarry, Officer’s size. I’m not a Kimber fan, but it’s a good little pistol nonetheless. What brand is yours? The light weight commander in 9mm is made by "Tisas" in Turkey. I became aware ...

Re: Show off your fixed blades!

My new RW Loveless designed Beretta. I have had a black handled copy for several years, and they are excellent knives.
This orange handle would actually be a better field knife than the black. If you've ever set your knife down while working in the woods, you know what I mean.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!

My latest gamble on the bay. The knife barely resembles the one I wanted. By the time knife arrived there had been 2 or 3 different email addresses used and probably 3 different mailing addresses. The Knife finally arrived from NY city but I'm quite sure it was made in Pakistan.
