Re: I ordered the Kershaw Launch 17 this morning.

I recommend one of these for every pocket! These are nice knives and take a great edge. Many automatics are big and bulky, but this isn't. The clip point is suitable for a large number of tasks and can be called upon for lots of hard work. (This is NOT a "safe queen"). Buy the darned thing and put i...

Re: My daggers

I wish that I had the old British Commando (Sykes-Fairbairn) knife that Dad gave me 61 years ago. (It looks like the one on the left, but anodized black). That was a MEAN dagger!

Re: sharpen of false edge

A sheathed dagger may be just fine, but the false edge on a folder shouldn't be sharpened due to the possible injury that could be incurred.

Re: I ordered the Kershaw Launch 17 this morning.

Well, the Launch 17 is a peach! The S35VN steel is hard to sharpen but holds a keen edge longer. The jimping on the spine (at the ricasso) is just heavy enough to make forceful cutting tasks easier. :wink: The handle is reminiscent of the Launch 8 but the G10 inserts give it sufficient traction to l...

Re: I ordered the Kershaw Launch 17 this morning.

No forgiveness needed, fishtail. Just breaking your balls a little! I was still a little over a month from my 2nd birthday at that time. Thank you for your service. I'm sure you didn't get much of that at the time. Twobit, Some appreciated it. Others called us everything but civilized humans. The S...

Re: I ordered the Kershaw Launch 17 this morning.

I guess I'll let you get away with calling me "kid" since you've got about 17 years on me, but I sure don't feel like a kid (unless I'm snapping away with a switchblade, that is!). I enlisted in the Navy on 7/19/1973 when I was 18 years old. (The Vietnam Conflict was still raging and would be for a...

If my roommate gets there it will be fine. (I don't want to lose a $140.00 knife). Cross your fingers.

Thanks, Kid!

Re: I ordered the Kershaw Launch 17 this morning.

Well, FedEx delivered the package today (I saw the package on the front porch from the Internet). I'll let everyone know about the knife tomorrow.

Blessings.

Re: Funny Stuff

I ran into a woman at an Adult Store. The lady had just purchased a vibrator. On it, she placed a decal that read. " My other unit is a Tesla".

Re: Tommy Lee Dagger

Keen blade, that is! What a beauty. It looks as if it would be useful as a "real world" knife, rather than just a "showpiece" or "safe queen".

Re: My Dagger

That's a beautiful blade! The proportions are excellent and the "muted" Damascus is exquisite.

That's a great replica of a Scottish DIrk.

Re: I ordered the Kershaw Launch 17 this morning.

Damned FedEx delayed delivery. (The knife should have been here Saturday). It will arrive this morning when I'm not there. I just pray that it isn't stolen.

My Kershaw 4007 Secret Agent Boot Knife was delivered today.

I know it is only a single-edged, 8Cr13MoV Steel Blade Boot knife, but it sure is kind of cool. I work as a Sales Agent for the Talon Protection Group (talonprotectiongroup.com) but the knife is handy for lots of purposes. Work frequently calls for me to visit nasty neighborhoods in a shirt, Sports ...
