After a long time, the 9"1/2 lever locks return on SKM and AB web
sites, although they're currently only available in a few styles.

Handles offered are real horn, dark rosewood and 4 different kinds
of frostwood. 

The only available blade styles is the engraved one, except for
for the brown/green/red frostwood handle, which is also available
with satin finished standard blade (but just a few pieces, so order
them as soon as you can ;-)).


KRISS BLADE FRONT OPENING KNIVES
--------------------------------

Front opening knives are now available with kriss blade as well, except
for the 6" Mignon models.

Add a new spooky front opener to your collection!!!

Also, all the front opening knives have new, much better, photos.

They don't, but I think the double edge sharpening can be done on demand.

Greetings, Mr. Dexter-

Oh sure, you can now produce OTF's with Kriss blades- what about the highly coveted Kriss swing guards we lust for? More sternful application of your massive and powerful influence needed on the maker guys, ol' pal, please.

We're keeping a wooden eye out for ya'!

AS ever,

Your ol' pal,

Wally J. Corpse


P.S. Mr. Crmnal- nice to see ya' back!

Greetings, Mr. Crmnal-

I think we should pass the hat amongst the forumites, and see if we can come up with the funding to help you afford the "eye"-(I) for your name. Wouldn't that be swell?

AS ever,

Your ol' pal,

Mr. Dexter-Ego,

I am soooo dissapointed that the lowly OTF is gonna be blessed with a kriss blade, but the long awaited, heavily sought after kriss swing is just a pipe dream. This may force me to contact Frankie B. and bombard him with Bonzoid wailings, or, worse yet, start talking to the Germans! I feel as if there is a kriss blade stuck between my 5th & 6th vertebrae. :cry:

Greetings, Mr. Doofus Emeritus Exaltii-

By all means, apply your massive and powerful influence on Mr. Beltrame, F.. All my plaintive wailings directed to him via e-mail have produced naught a one Kriss swing guard, but you may be more respected as a member of the current corporal state. AS ever, I'll be right behind ya'.

The Germans are only allowed to make little bitty blade lengths, I hears.

AS ever,

Your ol' pal,

Wally J. Corpse

Mr. Corpse,

Then maybe we could get the Russians to make some. They could stamp the tang: 'Made In Italy', like the chinese do.

Best Regards,

Bonz,
According to K.S. the Ruskies charge extra for blade stamps.

DAMMIT CRMNAL,
I've always been willing to help a fellow forumite out in times of need, but I think this is going too far to be asked to enrich the coffers to purchase 2 freakin' vowels for your name. 1 should have been sufficient,so in my state of total enragement, I'm stripping you of your remaining vowel and you shall be now regarded as CRMNL. This should teach you some kind of valuable lesson!!
:evil:

OOOOPS!! On further review, as they say in the NFL, I see that you're proffering clink to buy Wally another piece of ocular enhancement. Sign me up, Buttercup. I need to tell you that birdseye maple false eyes are hard to find. BONZ had a chance to buy some really nice glass ones in Eugene, but he wouldn't cough up the $.39 the guy wanted for them. Go figure. By the way, I'll reinstate your vowel. :oops:

If there's one thing I have learned, there's a lot of things I don't know.

I was limited to 6 characters on a vanity plate for my Plow-Jeep so I picked Vagrnt, some of us have already given up a vowel.
