Awesome show. Met a lot of great people and handled more amazing knives then I can even tell you about...

I love knife shows...some of the finest people you will ever meet. :thumbup:



My Score….I know, I know……Leave it to me to go to a custom knife show and not buy a custom…:o

A strider with the double gunner grips and a Hinderer Extreme Duty Modular Pen. These are the major buys anyway.





And while I’m at the show my wife sends me a text. “what’s in the box? Don’t you have enough knives?”


I reply with…”heehee” :D











This is what was in the box….ohhh yaaaa…..










Thanks for looking!

that strider is awesome!

did you see ernie emmerson? I wanted to know if he had any new products.
 
Oh am I ever jealous! Wanted to go, but can't go this year. Aaargh! I hear that next year they'll have it downtown.
 
How does the airkat feel in the hand? That thing must be gigantic in a pocket???? I am seriously considering a folder from Dwaine...Oh yeah, Badazzz Knives!!!!

A spine shot of the Strider and the Airkat. They are about the same length by the way...


 
Airkats are an acquired taste, but those are some of the toughest folders out on the market right now. That combined with the Strider and the Hinderer and there's nothing that can stop you from achieving world domination now. Congrats Emperor. All hail.

I have a Gen 3 XM-18 (red G-10) right now and a Yuna Hard 1 (I lol whenever I say "Hard 1":D) on order. I'll be getting that baby in 30-45 days. My Hard 1 (lol) is going to have the silver twill and black/blue G-10 scales.

I'll more than likely end up getting a Strider at some point in the future. I'd probably go for an Airkat too, but I'm not sure if I can wait around for one to be available. It looks like the knife took steroids, but one half took a higher dose. Excellent choices.

Yun is a great guy.:thumbup:

Whatever you cannot cut, you'll be able to smash! Damn that Airkat is a colossus.
