R.W.: I don't have the car, so I might not be able to get to Puente Hills except by bus. But I'll try to stop by Advanced Cutlery again this year (I went there last year).
Kamagong: I just went by the Brea mall store, Knife Gallery, but I haven't gone by the Puente Hills mall this year yet. Knife Gallery has a pretty good selection of knives: S&W (including some of the new models which actually look fairly well made), CRKT, BM, MOD, some stuff that looks like Running Dog, Ka-Bar, Ontario, CS, Buck, and some pretty goofy looking swords.
Does anybody want to hang out together for a little while sometime? I'm sure I can get to most places using the overly complex bus system around here. I'm from a smaller city in Illinois, and our buses are pretty simple. Your California city bus systems are really complex. Hurt my brain to read all the maps.
