Yep, that's exactly what I would do (and have done in the past). :thumbup:
What HTM's do you have or had neuron?
Haha, only two (for now!): one SAO Gun Hammer Bowie blade (which I ended up selling off because I got into a bit of a "no assisted openers" phase) and one manual Gun Hammer Torpedo blade (which shipped earlier this week and should be arriving tomorrow or early next week).
...I was able to snag a full custom MM 5.5 straight from the man himself at the CA Custom Knife Show last weekend.
Quick addition: a few hours after you started this thread, Neil of True North Knives posted the third version of the TNK Exclusive HTM Gun Hammer on his site. (The main difference this time around is that the TNK exclusive version has copper-colored aluminum scales instead of the regular black or brown.) He has them in quite a few different blade shape and finish combinations, so if you like the scale color more than the regular offerings, you might also check there to see if one of the models is what you're looking for:

I'm going to get a 4" HTH gunhammer Bowie that Darrel would be coming soon.
There's nothing too mysterious about it; it's just a thick titanium liner lock.I was confused about the locking system until harkumus (I think) showed me a closeup pic of the lock. I think of it as a very thick ti framelock with a scale over it - I don't know if that makes sens or not. I wish Darrel would explain what the diference between his lock and a framelock is. The locking bar is huge and titanium from my understanding. I think we're the same in that we like the loiok of the fully exposed RIL framelock. I know I am, they just look good to me.
The MJ pic is really funny - I can't look at it w/o chuckling.

The '3.0' just means that they're the third round of TNK exclusive Gunhammers. Other than the handle colors and blade finishes, there isn't any difference between the TNK Gunhammers and the ones available directly from HTM.
