Re: Frenchi94 switchblade collection

Ian,

Both of those are SUPERB! I love the fluid lines of the OTF with the "curves".

The examples you have shown are exquisite!

Re: I ordered the Kershaw Launch 17 this morning.

FedEx failed to deliver my knife today. (I don't know what the hell happened, but i hope they'll deliver it this Sunday).

Re: Frenchi94 switchblade collection

Very nice! I like the old-fashioned OTF blades. They're a refreshing departure from the Asian clones.

Re: I ordered the Kershaw Launch 17 this morning.

I had GP Knives delay delivery until Saturday. This was done to avoid "Porch Piracy".

I'll let you know how it is on Monday, February 19th.

Re: I ordered the Kershaw Launch 17 this morning.

I received an email update from FedEx. My Launch 17 will be delivered on February 17th (It will likely be delivered in the morning, as is their custom in my neighborhood).

Re: I brought my Piranha "Virus" to work today.

I have the Pocket, the "X", the "VIrus" and the Rated R. Great knives.

I brought my Piranha "Virus" to work today.

I appreciate the slim profile of this beast. The Virus is a favorite of mine (along with the Rated R OTF). Pirahna puts out some nice, affordable automatics (both side-opening and OTF models).

Look into them on BLade HQ and tell me which knives appeal to YOU! 8) :D

Re: Latama 11inch pick lock 1950s

I never bother with @$$book or any of the other "social media" outlets (They're mostly "Leftist" and full of rat feces).

I haven't any time for their Socialist rants. They can stick their Starbucks Mugs up their rectal orifice and kick off the handle. :P

Re: Looking at the Kershaw Launch 17.

I also dress similarly whether working or not, except I'm jeans and tee shirts/sweatshirt. I like to have something on my person that will cut at all times other than when I'm in my pj's. I knew a woman who worked in her pajamas... Then again, she was arrested several times for engaging in "the wor...

Re: Looking at the Kershaw Launch 17.

Twobit, I just posted an "I ordered the Kershaw Launch 17" thread a few minutes ago. I am having them ship by FedEx tomorrow so that it will arrive on Saturday morning to avoid any "porch pirate" problems. I want this to be a "working" knife that is amenable to daily carry. (I work in a sports jacke...

I ordered the Kershaw Launch 17 this morning.

I asked GP Knives to delay shipping by Fed Ex until Thursday, February 17th so that it will arrive on Saturday morning. (This should frustrate any "porch pirates" that may prey on the neighborhood).

I'll let everyone know if, and how, the Launch 17 "passes muster" upon its arrival. 8)

Re: Looking at the Kershaw Launch 17.

Twobit,
I went to GP Knives this morning and ordered a Kershaw Launch 17 (I simply couldn't resist the urge). :) This should prove a light carry/companion knife to my Case Peanut in 1095 Chromium/Vanadium steel.

I know, I know. But, all told, it IS a useful knife! ;) :) :P!

Re: Who Makes the Fishtails ?

Oreste DiBon made/assemble fish knives. I’ve been wrong before but I believe the fish knives stamped Stiletto Italy may have been from the Beltrame family of knife makers (Frank, Armando and/or Renzo). Someone here will no have the correct answer to your question. I have some samples of the Oreste ...

Definition of Shrift.
Confession, especially to a priest.


Short shrift:
It is an attitude of, "It's nice to meet you. We'll accept your business card and get in touch with you if we're interested." (Rapid, and unsympathetic, dismissal).

Here's your hat, what's your hurry?
