Lumpy, Understand this: in all probability you will love the knife, there is no need to fret over your decision. Soon you will wonder about others. Then you will buy others. Do not obsess on which knife to get, just pick one that strikes your fancy today. Tomorrow it will be another and you can orde...

In the USA we have both bank and US Postal Service Money Orders (and perhaps others too). My bank does not charge for money orders. However, I use USPS M.O.'s for the convenience. The envelope, stamp, and act of mailing the M.O. can all occur there at the Post Office. There is a nominal charge; less...

Hollowdweller, I have one of those red jigged bone 11 cm Hubies, a flawless example I got from our well known leverlock loving seller. The blade has the same dimensions as that on my white micarta 11 cm Hubie that I got about a year and a half ago from the same individual. I suspect, but do not know...

slaytanic, mr bigg makes a good point about credit cards vs money orders, and Roccomo explained the difference However, I understand that some people have their personal reasons for not wanting to use credit cards.

I have a 14 cm Hubie on the way. Given the changes in the law, my suspicion is that the supply of these will diminish so now might be a good time to buy. If anyone is interested, it seems that you can do the best on BA. For example, the exchange rate has driven the KS price of the horn 14 cm model u...

j-man, I ordered the exact mini-udt that you described. The seller made a mistake and sent me one without a safety. It has been my edc for 6 months. In my humble and correct opinion it is a great edc for most of us. Small, lightweight, high quality, great kick for its size, and how often to most of ...

Exchange Rate

OUCH for those of us that use the US dollar!! Today, one Euro was worth $1.17, an all time high (I think) for the Euro. I suppose that the good news for Mr. Arthas and our other European suppliers is that we really don't care, we will buy our switchblades! Certainly, exporters of goods from the US t...

PB,

Poiint of clarification: there are no rules in SOME Asian countries. I think that Japan can rival Mass. or Calif. for sheer number of rules and regulations.
