Just got back from the knife show..all those knives, so little time...
LDC had the most impressive display of tacticals, not a thing for under $300.00. Being able to feel all these quality knives; Viele, Chamblin, Carson, Lightfoot, J.W. Smith (I was sooo close), Pardue, etc.
Met WD Pease, John W Smith, John Etzler (sp?). Gil Hibben (a fellow Parker black belt), Les Robertson, Howard Viele (sold out in the first VIP only hour), and others
Settled on two:
1.) WD Pease lockback, mosaic damascus bolsters, WM ivory scales w gold braid, filework.
2.) a Dake lockback D/A, damascus bolster, MOP scales, filework.
My origional $1500.00 didn't quite reach...
What I noticed was the price at the show, including dicker discount, was about the same price as the net! Can't touch on the net, though.
Standard answer to the better half..."Oh, slightly over a hundred, dear. Sorry I spent so much."
