If your religion requires that you hate someone, you need a new religion.

When the people fear their government, that is tyranny. When government fears the people, that is freedom.

If you look at Jantz and the other knife suppliers the stuff handles are made of is indexed as handle material. I know this is funny, but I though handle material only becomes scales when it is actually put on the knife. As long as it is in the unfinished form it is handle material. Much like a fish would have an outer covering of scales so would a knife when it was finished?
