I have to say, Mark looks like the ass kicker in that group
Next stop, the Georgia Aquarium!
Nathan (dad): "Abby where are you"
Abby (14 years old) "I'm at the pit!"
Nathan: "you're not at the pit. Take a picture"

Nathan: "goddamnit"
Once again TSA compliant...back to boring regular life
That’s what your new sword is for. Charging the pit and clearing a 20’ diameter circle around Abby! Mike
Coming home with new knives and not being able to have them, on your person, is just plain traumatic. But, losing a grail to TSA would be worse.
When I forgot to remove my little Swiss Army key ring knife, they gave me the choice of running back and mailing it to myself, which I have done with more significant knives, or losing it. I told the agent that he should keep it for himself. He said that they were not allowed to and would most likely throw it away. What a waste! Mike

Blade show was great, rather meeting the CPK crew was awesome!( that's what happens when you go to a knife show with 2 non knife friends, barely an hour there and then the whining began. Let's not even talk about the caterwauling that started when they saw what I was willing to spend- any more, and I would have been involuntarily committed)
My self control on the forum sales paid off when I got all that I wanted directly from the CPK crew( that's noble speak for my typing speed sucks during the sales). Kissed the ring, drooled over the dagger( too big to steal and too fat to run away with it)
Now coming to the HDMC, the thing is a brute(dibs on calling mine Brutus). No one needs no Excalibur, you know the sword in the stone thingy, if you have a HDMC. But if you insist and you cant pull the sword out, the HDMC is more than capable of splitting the stone. If anyone is wondering about the sharpness of the blade, this is how the conversation went back at the apartment...guys please be careful, the knife is sharp. 30 secs later (squealing from a nicked finger) " I just touched the tip, I just touched the tip, I did not even press on it" (Insert bawdy joke here)
Hopefully next year, I ditch my friends and go to Blade alone
