I just downloaded and installed a browser called Maxthon. Way faster than Firefox. Taking a bit to get used to, as I've used Firefox for years now, but I do like the speed of it.

I'm sitting here really trying to decide get a Junglas and a BK-9 or maybe get a Rat/Swamp something...

If you dont have a bk9 id say go with the bk9 and junglass. 2 nice knives that you will use is better than 1 pretty one anyday
But if you have a 9 id say get a ratmandu. even if it aint as pretty as mine
they feel amazing in the hand. maybe its just me but that handle feels perfect, the choil is perfectly designed, the weight is balanced great.the size is great and all man its about the perfect knife to me honestly.. (sorry beckerheads)
my 16 and 14 were missent by usps but im hoping the 16 will feel good to me too if that makes it up any

take the time to make liners for the 16 if it feels a little skinny, I literally can't put mine down since I made some earlier tonight.

I definetly will. See i really didnt like the esee 6 at all, it just didnt feel good in my hand.I got it thinking it was exactly what i was looking for. the perfect knife for me to use. i love my beckers but the 11 is small and the bk2 is too thick, The esee 6 looked like the perfect knife for what i wanted but when i held it, it just wasnt MY knife but everyones different i guess. Everything i wanted the esee 6 to be the ratmandu is and more plus it looks better
Now the 16 looks like it might be my everyday user tho i like how it looks on paper i just need to put it in my hands because they are the boss in this matter.

Another tweener liner-fan, good stuff. Even as big as my hands are, I never really felt the need to add liners to my '16... Until I tried it for the heck of it. It's full of win, wrapped in bacon, with a side of deep-fried victory.

Theres a couple customs in the knifemakers exchange that are tempting the heck outta me. I'm thinking really hard on the Alan Davis hunter and the edc that Dfarmer posted yesterday.

I have my first two customs en route. I have a TMHunt complete custom, and a Daizee work of art coming soon.

Soooooooooooooooooooo... Interesting li'l story, apparently my old manager's boyfriend threatened to kill her tonight while they were drinking. She decided to be preemptive and ended up getting arrested. She called ME as her one call, and captain sav-a-ho hung up on her ass. I'm quite proud of this.

I've been wanting a good hawk since the last BeckerWest gathering.
I went to the H & B Forge website.
Seems like a good company. Their pricing is fair too.
I might have to hit 'em up.
Which models do you have Murph?
Does anybody have experience with Allan Foundry hawks from Ragnar's?
If so, which model?
The Cold Steel Trailhawk is popular, but to be honest, I really don't like the way Cold Steel portrays their products.
They have yet to get my buisiness because of it.
