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 ...

Re: I just bought a Benchmade Claymore OTF.
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?

Re: Looking at the Kershaw Launch 17.
I DO like the Kershaw Launch 18! The S35VN steel of the 17 would prove to be a better (read: more useful) blade.

Looking at the Kershaw Launch 17.
I really like the Clip Point blade! The 3.5" blade is enough to accomplish the task(s). I like the thin blade profile.
Any comments? Opinions?

Re: I just bought a Benchmade Claymore OTF.
I need to speak with Kershaw about their Security arrangements.
Edit: I called them and received "short shrift" from Kershaw.

Re: Who Makes the Fishtails ?
I believe that they were originally from Sam Polk at LATAMA. As of late, they have come from AGA Campolin in Maniago, Italy. (Perhaps Bill DeShivs could weigh in on this).

Re: I just bought a Benchmade Claymore OTF.
Ian, Our offices are 7 miles from the Benchmade plant. I was there this morning pitching our Call Response services for the company. I appreciate thier product, but they pushed for Gun Control so that the Oregon Legislature wouldn't bother the Automatic Knife industry. Most of us are still very angr...

Gravknife,
These OTF daggers are CPM-D2 Tool Steel, hardened to 62 Rockwell Hardness. Contrary to popular belief, they are real "workhorse" knives that can cut, slash, and stab too.
I'm glad to see you are still alive, brother!

Re: I just bought a Benchmade Claymore OTF.
Sammy, I have been "off the grid" for a while. There's no Internet service at home, so I have to do this from work. I am working for the "premiere" Armed Security Service for the Portland, OR metropolitan area. (We train our officers for 400 hours instead of 40 hours before they "hit the streets"). ...

I just bought a Benchmade Claymore OTF.
It had a stiff action and it is difficult to close. It does, however, have a CPM-D2 tool steel dagger-type blade that took a razor-sharp edge with my Spyderco Tri-Angle "Sharpmaker". I truly like the feather-light Grivory handle and the snappy action. I want to GP Knives and bought one for $280.00 i...

Re: Colt Automatic
These are good "users" and serve a purpose. I won't buy one that has counterfeit branding.
