Here you are....

I'm amazed . People on this board spill thier guts on all sorts of crap , yet somebody asks a few simple questions and people want to question that.

Here's and example.

I just bought a new custom folder made by James Buckhester and I cut off my thumb. The blade is easy to sharpen and the scales on this double lockback linerlock switchblade are made from the bones of a virgin blue whale that I caught by hand on my last trip to Iceland. Great knife !
