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...

Re: I just bought a Benchmade Claymore OTF.
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.

I'd be willing to bet Thelma Lou enjoyed more than an "afternoon" with the boys.

Re: 4-1/2″ Auto Bold Action® III Stiletto Black Aircraft Aluminum Black Blade
Mine came 2 days ago. This knife is fairly well-made from Alabama. The Sandvik steel took a wickedly-sharp edge, and the bayonet blade is particularly pointy (and quite dangerous)! The knife isn't heavy and is quite enjoyable. :) I consider this piece to be a convenient knife to carry in to the "rou...
