• Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! I hope that you all have something to be grateful for this year and for many years to come
  • America has reached 250 years, and I am grateful to be here, in the best country in the world. Thank every one of you who helps make this country a better place, those who have gone before and risked it all, and those who've paid the ultimate price to make the United States what we are today.

    Happy Birthday America! Let Freedom Ring for all time!

I've always wished Vanadis 4 Extra was more available in the U.S.
 
Do a search on the internet. I know for a fact, there are Bohler Uddeholm distributors in the U.S.
Call them up and ask for some in knife sizes and then bring up this argument again. :) It's okay, I'll just have my dad forge it and then send it to me. He's good at forging stuff out.
