    awesome job mann0mann!!! i've never done anything like this, it was great to get to hold knives that i was thinking about getting. i will for sure be getting the caly 3.5, and a ZT. i cant believe how hefty the ZTs are, and how surprisingly light the strider is. and i for sure want a nmsfno after holding one, that thing is bad ass!

    great people, great times!

    thanks everybody

    Daft it was great meeting you bro! You had some killer fixed blades. I was glad to see someone that was into fixed knives and brought some of his own. I loved that scrap yard sword!

    We just got back from Stanislaus National Park, and we had a blast. Bummer I couldn't make it to the meet, but it was good to re-connect with the family.

    Greats pics, and I'll definitely be at the next one. (I saw a Cold Steel Bush Ranger in one of those pics. I finally know what the sheath looks like now; it'll be nice to see it in person next time.)

    mannomann thanks for putting this together, and I'll help put the next one together if you want.

    Can't do one until after we move the store. I'm going to be pretty busy with that the next 30 days. Afterwards though...for sure!

    We just moved to a new office in Mountain View. It would be pretty good for a get together. There's food/coffee/etc walking distance and it's IMMEDIATELY off highway 101. Once it's all set up, I'll look into planning something. Stay tuned y'all.

    It's not the same thing, but I just moved our store about a 1/4 of mile away and the first thing I had to hold is our annual swap meet. We normally hold it in May/June and held it off because of the move.

    I know it says it's a R/C swap meet but you are all more than welcome to come and set up tables and sell/trade anything knife wise if you'd like. Lot of cross-over with my customer base and the knife community.

    In S.F. and definitely interested in meeting up with Forum members.

    I just did a FTF purchase with jaiofspam (also, in S.F., great guy btw.) and that led me here.
    I guess it's small knife world after all.
    Get ready, it's a JUNGLE out there!
