Relax Monkey Man. Luxuriate in the ownership of that new Barrage. It's a fine knife to soften the landing of the fall from grace.

A Barrage 581, Benchmade offered mix and match scales and blade steel for awhile. Sucked me right in, they did.

Monk, I am not a doctor, but I am pretty sure that going two years without a new knife is dangerous to a man's well being. I sure do not plan to try it, anyway!big monk wrote: First new knife in over 2 years** /???
