Spotlight and Jim,

I'm sorry to hear about your Dads passing. Had they been ill?
My Dad is getting up there in the years...he seems healthy, but I still can't help but think about it.

This is heartbreaking. He really stepped up as THE forum guy when Pushbutton left us. He was was a great guy and friend to us all.

I've got a lump in my throat that will take a long, long time to go away.

There'll never be another one like him. Damn...

Hi Bill, Do you know anything about all these LEPRE switchblades popping up on the auctions lately? Every one that I've seen is in mint condition, so I'm assuming these knives have been recently built from NOS parts? And they're really nicely put together, with super stag or horn. Just an absolutely...

I thoroughly enjoyed your review, Natch. Dammit, it makes me want another

Now, enjoy breaking it in for a long, long time

You're welcome, Natch. You are going to love this knife. And honestly, with that super nice horn and kriss blade I think that one is the most beautiful of the square buttons he's made yet. You definitely got it right. I've been dreaming about one just like that for a while, and the horn you got is n...

That's a jaw-dropper :o Excellent choice of model. Burn's 13" square buttons are awesome looking, and that kriss blade is gorgeous. I've got an 11" Burn Black Beauty, and let me say, you will be amazed at the build quality, fit, and finish of Paul's knives. And the snap is unbelievable. I love the c...

And I have scar tissue on one eardrum from this type of mis-adventure

Yep Been there, done that. I went through the pyromania phase, as a lot of us probably did

Oh man, that's a good one

Yeah, me too

My all time favorite though is, "Hey, hold my beer and watch this!"

No tellin' how many times that's been said before the funniest disaster someone's ever seen.

Famous Last Words 1. "Are you sure the power is off?" 2. "Don't be so superstitious." 3. "Double dare me!" 4. "Help!" 5. "He's probably just hibernating." 6. "Hey, hold my beer and watch this!" 7. "I can make this light before it changes." 8. "I do." 9. "I'll get a world record for this." 10. "I'm ...

Mr. Natcherly, I too have experienced the literal "slip-in" spring. I have a 13" picklock that I can slip in and slip out the spring with a little help from a pair of needle nose pliers (with a cloth in the teeth soz I don't scratch anything), so that's why I tried getting this one out. I guess the ...

Thank you, oh gracious one ...But one of these days I'll find a kink in your armor of knowledge...one of these days...

Thanks, Bill! I may just save this project for later when I've got a little more mangling experience. The blade needs some serious attention too, to get some very bad sharpening marks out, and it would be a lot easier to do with the knife apart. But the bolsters are perfect and the horn is beautiful...

DOH! :oops: :lol: Well Teddy, ya just learned me somethin' new. Sorry for doubting you, ol' chap! :) My apologies. Bill, Obviously, I've never taken one of these apart :? but I think I could do it. It would be a fun challenge and education...plus, the knife was a freebee so it wouldn't hurt my walle...
