and just barely got it inside and unwrapped before the wife walked in.

Wouldn't have been so close, but the thing took a slice out of my left forefinger before I even got it out of the box. Stanched bleeding, applied superglue, applied again, got bandaid on.

Will have to spend time getting to know her well, because anyone I pull her on is unlikely to stick around long enough to get an introduction.

:eek: :eek: :eek: :D

This now makes an AK15" and a Kobra 26" I need to fix handle chips, one on top of handle and one on bottom.

Looking forward to exploring the envelope on this baby. What's that line from Lewis Carrol about " my Vorpal sword went snicker-snack... " or something?
 
Believe Bill listed it at 34 ounces. Overall length at an ounce an inch, plus a half pound makes it a hair over an ounce and a quarter an inch. I think Tom Holt would find it acceptable.
 
How did you cut yourself?

Sounds like your wife startled you while you were illicitly and guiltily unwrapping your covertly-acquired new shiny sharpy thingy?

Was she supposed to be home yet?

Indeed, how are you going to get to know your wife well if you keep sneaking new shiny things in like an obsessive-compulsive Raven?


If I had a wife I would never pull her on anyone...


:D:D
 
There was a gob of newspaper, I pulled that out of the box. Then I pulled on the paper wrapped round the handle and the whole thing started to slide out. I grabbed for the scabbard with one hand and the handle with the other but then it (scabbard) stopped coming out and the blade kept coming. What was handle a second before was now naked blade slipping out. Had the package under left arm, with left hand free...

Anyway that's close enough to what I think went on. Tossed box in spare bedroom, set the fickle female fiend in the computer room, grabbed super glue, kleenex, headed for bathroom and bandaids, got it fixed and sat down in front of computer and front door opened and wife came in.

Wow, that was a close call. I try to keep enough empty boxes under the computer table that hopefully another one more or less goes unnoticed... :rolleyes:

I'm very interested in how this one handles. Tom's early praise of this knife has had me intrigued for awhile now. Someday I hope to accrue enough knife money to get one with a horn handle, but it may be pretty hard to do the way Uncle's been posting these giveaways lately.
