Nice knives, the Hagen looks very sweet!

Very nice set of knives. What is the closed length of the Khnutbuster?

I love the look of those Pumas, but I don’t know anything about what to look for when shopping for one online. I’ve never been fortunate enough to see one in person.

Nice knives, the Hagen looks very sweet!

Thanks guys. The buster is 3 3/4" closed. He really didn't want to let it go, but I made him an offer he couldn't refuse...or was just kind enough to accept. The Doc Hagen is so nice I'm almost afraid to handle it. Everything is mirror polished. It's tight and solid though.

I've never struck out with a Puma knife. I've only dealt with the wood and now stag handle versions. They've always been tight, lock up strong, and feel like a quality knife. I'm sure there are some not so nice Pumas, but I haven't owned any. People snatch them up though and they seem to bring a premium if the seller knows what they have.

We are a few hours into our long trip back home. A couple of finds from the show...



(Sorry Charlie I was having too much fun and forgot to take any pictures at the show!)

I opted not to attend this year due to finances. Just no fun if I don't have $1000 in my pocket. I very much enjoy impulse buys and that is generally what happens with my funds at Blade every time I attend. It is an easy drive for me at about an hour or so.
