Interesting looking knife - how much was it, if you don't mind me asking?

Hi there,

I just watched the 80's film Crossroads with Ralph Macchio. When they encounter Jamie Gertz, she pulls a swinger on them, and I wondered if anyone knows what it is?

Cheers,

I just watched the episode and wondered what the knife was...

Great fools seldom differ, or something like that!

What I loved about these knives was, although they were cheapies, they just looked cool. The swinger I had had smooth scales that were level with the bolsters. (That's one thing I don't like about Italian knives is how much bigger the scales are compared to the bolsters.) If anyone does find a sourc...

Hi, You used to be able to buy the cheapies in head shops in Toronto when I was growing up. I had a number of them when I was a teenager back in the 80's, and I saw an advert for CSI Miami today for something that looked exactly like what I owned so long ago.

Cheers!

Cheers!

Actually, just to avoid any problems, I am toying with the idea of buying one and only having the backspacer sent. I...

Hi, The leaf in my Bechmite 3100 snapped tonight. I wasn't doing anything untoward with it, it just broke. Aside from sending it back to Benchmade (which I can't do) is there any way to get a replacement leaf? http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y34/Flippin73/broken.jpg This is my favourite knife, so I...

Welcome back. I'm glad that you and your family made it through your ordeal reasonably unscathed!

That's excellent news. I'm glad that his absence didn't indicate anything more sinister!
