Bob and Dick chatting up Samantha about the new Paragon EDC side opener. I think they were actually interested in the knife.

I'll lay odds that neither one of them can recall what that knife looked like, or even what kind it was!! But I'll bet they can give a very good description

I'm about ready to make an order to one of the supply houses and I have a material question. On the list of materials you have .020 or less nickel listed.

I have one of my el cheapo 9" stilletto's torn apart and the liner is .030. Is this about the same as a Italian model? Also do the liners on the longer knives get thicker?
