Falcon, Glad to read about your functional godfather. You are absolutely right about demanding customer service from PVK. Given their prices, that is what their competitive advantage (along with selection) has to be. Mr_Guano, I do hope yours arrives soon. I am preparing myself psychologically and f...

J-man,

You wrote "Hey y'all (I think I am getting a Southern accent)"

JF,

If you go to page 2 of this forum, there is a thread titled "collecting vs using" where there is some discussion of your topic of interest.

Jim

I'm sure we have all noticed the different appearance the liners give a knife. Italian stilettos typically have brass liners, Italian leverlocks tend toward steel, Mikovs are steel, Hubertus' are brass, etc., etc. What are the implications of using brass versus steel? Here are my thoughts; please co...

Wally,

I understand your yearning for Cape Hatteras, the Outer Banks are a personal favorite of mine. Of course, this time of year the winds really blow.

Jim

Teddy,

One pack a day = $2555 per year = many nice switchblades. I'm sure you have already done the calculations appropriate for your level of consumption. Keep thinking about the new blades and good luck!

Wally, I had indeed a rude awakening when my daughter showed me the Grateful Dead CD that she bought with Christmas money, and I told her that I wanted to make a copy of it because it was one of the few that I didn't already have. What a realization of the aging process it was, as was the fact that ...

Bonz,

Jim

Bonz,

I've been using the "automatic insertion" feature on my wife for nearly 23 years.

Jim

Greyblade, I have come to realize that you are a very astute contributor to our fine forum. Therefore, you have the lofty status of being one of those folks who induce eager anticipation in me when I log in and see an unread post from you. However, your statement "Your collection won't be complete u...

Blackflag,

Go to the upper right part of your screen. Under BladeAlliance, go to Tinys.

Jim

Regarding Toplocks, I have found those from Knives 2000 to be excellent conversions. Steve is already listed as a good one in our "Known by us in the loop" thread.
