I missed my shot at one during the O2W offering and then they made an appearance in the 2017 Cupidganza in a color combo that could not have been more perfect for me. Silver and Black. The colors of my beloved Oakland Raiders. I had to have one. Then came the day when awesome and terrible both happened. I got a ding for my knife and then I got shipping confirmation the same day. I thought to myself "This must be a good omen. That never happens. Surely the NFL owners meeting will end with a "No" vote on my Raiders leaving. After all, who ever heard of pirates in the desert.....that's just dumb". Then they did it! They finally did it! They blew it up! Damn them! Damn them all to hell!!!......Oh sorry. Had a moment there. Anyway. Here it is. The one I will call "the Backwoods Raider".

 
Sweet, took me a while to decide between that one and TGp, love that blade finish
 
I gotta say, I'm sad to hear about the Raiders move.

I'm a lifelong Steelers fan (and general football fan). Even when the Browns left Cleveland to become the Ravens, I felt horrible for Cleveland.

Any city to lose such a piece of history, it just stinks.

My condolences.

On the upside, sweet blade!
 
Very nice. I also feel your pain. As championship less as my Vikings are, and as little NFL as I actually watch, I'd miss the hell out of cheering against em and laughing hysterically when they suck. Most fun I have all year when I ask myself why I invest ANYTHING into them anymore.

Nice knaaf.

Thanks man. My mom is a life long Steelers fan and I think there is a sort of mutual respect that Raiders and Steelers fans have for each other and their teams. Both teams being born from old school rough and tumble blue collar towns.
