Times are pretty tough...Being from Michigan, you should know first hand. Times are tough in Southern California too. Try selling a condo here. There's about 100 sellers for every one buyer and he can't qualify for a loan. :? Yeah I just heard on the news that California is one of the top three sta...

Thanks all! I'd never seen the mikov but I don't like the style much so I guess I just never paid very close attention to them. I was really hoping that there may have been an old American made switch made like that. I suppose they're not all that practicle. Appreciate the answers, and photos!

Does anyone know of a side by side double switchblade? I know that they're have been doubles made, one on each end, but I've never seen a side by side double. Seems like it could be done if there was a brass liner/divider to keep the blades seperated, and the buttons would or could be placed one on ...

Well as a buyer all I can say is , gas is 3.19 a gal. here in wis. food has gone up, I just paid $401 for 195 gals. of LP gas, and my wonderful employer (the state) is wanting to cut my pay, and take away bennies, as our new labor contract!!! Other than that I can't see why there would be a slow dow...

A very sad :cry: story indeed and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family and all who's lives he touched! I cannot express my sadness & anger :x about not just this story but for all those who put their butts on the line for us everyday and have their lives snuffed out by some uncaring Ahole. A...

You always seem to be in the right place at the right time there Mark! I think I saw that card myself but they were a bit out of my league. Well if I wanna keep the house and car and eat, and see in the dark!! Nice haul!

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has seen a supply of 11" classic's in red and blue pearlex? I have a imop AB and am looking to complete the colors of our flag. Now I've seen some aqua blue and ice blue but none in the true darker blue that I need. I have a set of 9" RWB, but can't find an 11" in...

Wow I guess it's more common than I thought. It wasn't sold as being rare or anything but when I got it I thought cool something I'd never seen before. Radius I do love mine, it has a really great snap, lock up, and killer looks. Thanks everyone for your imput. I'm always learning, and to think when...

I allmost had Marlboro burned Thigh's one time when the fire fell off my cig and caught the seat of my pickup on fire, luckily I learned in the boyscouts to allways be prepared so I poured some beer on it and put it out :) I had the same thing happen to me only it wasn't a Marlboro, and I used a bi...

Cool Dave your the first person I've come across that has mentioned the split spring. Kinda neat little detail that I always thought was rare. The maker probably just didn't have single springs that fit and used up old parts or something. I never understood the reasoning for them but they're still c...

Thanks, that helps. I wasn't sure of the puma/medici thing. I did find the dual/split leaf spring an interesting feature none the less. I paid less for it than whats being asked for the guardians, which bare a resemblance. Sometimes I buy a knife just because it's unusual and I've never seen another...

Now I know that Bokers are not stilettos per say, but are they original to Germany? or are the parts imported from somewhere else and assembled in Germany? This is a little off topic I guess but members were mentioning hubies which I always believed to be a true German made knife. I also believe the...
