See i know thats a good slingshot, those others one look great but i wonder if they perform as good as the one you have. the first one i posted is similar in price to the hathcock but those others get quite pricey

I haven't even shot this one yet. I need to make a nice catch target. Ammo gets expensive. The Scout is a highly praised ss.
 
I also have a Barnett Diablo:

Yup i use to have a diablo but i got tired of the balance weights and ended up giving it to a kid at a survival weekend camp. now i want one without a brace and without any weights. i still have a Beeman Marksman but dont use it much. im debating on which to get out of the hathcock and the scout. it wont be until january anyway but im probably going to go with the scout just because of looks :)
 
Thinking about getting a Scout myself. There's another I want, called a Wasp. Smaller, of course:

I hear ya about the Diablo. I bought it for the cool factor. Here's a size comparison. I just put new black bands on my Diablo. Took the dumb sight off:

BTW, they say if you have smaller hands, don't get the Hathcock. It does stretch out the hand a bit. They say it can get uncomfortable after long periods of shooting. I knew this before hand, but I have large hands, so I don't think it will be a factor.

I was just looking at that Benchmade the other day. Looks like a great knife, for sure. Just when I was thinking there wasn't a Benchmade out there that really grabbed my attention.
 
I realize there are a lot of videos out there like this, but still kinda cool. Picks up around 1:55:

that benchmade is sweet!

And those videos are cool, that guy has done some major practicing :)
 
That looks like pretty much all the other current bushcrafters doesn't it? Or am I just imagining that?

If someone lived across from me and did that, I would be forced to murder them violently in their sleep.
 
Not too fond of the grind or steel on that BM for a "bushcraft" knife.

I'd love an S30V Bushcrafter. The sheath looks nice too.
Some of Benchmade's stuff I could take or leave.
I carry a fullsize Grip daily. It takes a good beating.
That Bushcrafter looks like it has potential...hmmm.
 
That BM looks uncomfortable as hell. Look at those sharp edges near the butt of the handle...

On another note, I finally got my BK-16 in, but it was such a hassle to actually get it.

It showed up as delivered at 1252 in the online tracking, but not to me, to a neighbour. Not a problem. The neighbour's name was "Joseph Kauft Laden" (roughly translates to "Joseph buys store"), and naturally, there's no one here with that name. So I called the customer support, and they gave me an address. Then they said that address was wrong, and gave me another one. Both are about 1/2 a mile from my door. So I went to the address they told me was right, no "Joseph kauft Laden". Then I went to the address they said was wrong, and what do you know, there's the store. So I walked in the door (I was getting a bit pissed at this point) and asked them where my package is (no, not the one in my pants :D) The guy went looking for it in a little room they had (it was full of parcels) but it wasn't there. He said "Well, the driver wasn't here to drop it off yet" and I'm like "Then why the f**k does he mark it as delivered?" He told me to come back at 1630, it should be there by then.

So I get back to the store at 1625. There's a guy locking the front door, no one else in the store. I ask him where my package is. He says he's gonna look for it. Goes into that room again, nothing. I walk out, pissed as hell. Unlock my bike, and at the very second I'm about to ride off, there comes the delivery truck. Stops right next to me, I knock at the window, the driver rolls it down and asks me "Waiting for a package?" "Yup" "Yeah, well, I'm sorry, if I can't get into the house I can't deliver it" "How about trying to ring the damn bell next time? I was at home waiting, and you didn't even try. If I worked like you do, I'd be unemployed!" He just handed me my package silently and then drove off without saying another word.

But at least I have my 16 now. Pics soon.
 
Since I started sanding the BK-9 after my gf mom put it in the dishwasher I noticed a lot of pitting in the blade.
