Benny,

Good point, why support a 0.250 when we can suooprt a 1.000? Don't you UK members just hate this analogy?

mr_edge, Come to think of it, Razor might have been a contributor to that discussion. Having written what I did, I now wonder about my own locale. Switchblades are legal to own in N.C., but are subject to concealed carry restrictions. Although N.C. is a right to carry state, someone who has not obta...

Canadian members, Do the authorities really care if your only "crime" is carrying a switchblade? On the old orange and brown we had a discussion that included some LEO's about carrying where it is not legal. They all agreed that they (and other officers) would do nothing if the only illegal activity...

PB,

I know, and I thought that was a major point of the comparison.

Waya,

You wrote "I used a Edwin J, rather than a Romando or Coracama, as I figured that would be a unfair comparison" Why would it be unfair to compare the modern 11's to these, but not the Edwin J?

JerrBear,

Well stated!

All,

If you believe that actions speak louder than words, all we need to do is look at our collections. Those with many (but not enough) modern stilettos (like me) obviously like them or we would not continue to buy them.

Here are my thoughts based naturally on what I know. If Mr. Arthas, who knows a lot more about this than me wants to add something, I would be honored. - Over the past couple of years that I have been on the forum several folks have offered a rudimentary business case for a high end Italian stiletto...

mr_edge, Major thumbs up on the swing guard. The knife is virtually defect free. You can even look into it and see no daylight between the backspring and the liners. The light horn ranges from snow white to medium tan. Needless to say, lockup is tight (or Vagrant would not have sent it to me). It ha...
