Okay, Andy. Let's see what's on top of that table, before you sell any more variants!!!

MTF3 · Jun 2, 2000

Yes, I got it as soon as I could get in the door. I went back & got me one of those Mean Streets too.

Andy & Amy are now moving to Mississippi...(rumor I started)

I think I am going to sell my house and go back tomorrow.....The Blade Show is great!

BTW, The plan now on Sunday to send the varient back home with Kenny Rowe from Hope, Arkansas so he can make me a custom pin lock sheath for it. Andy introduced me to him in the next booth and he does some real nice leather work...I will post more later...

Yeah Andy! what Will said.
BTW Melvin, what does "pin lock" mean?

A pin lock is a piece on the sheath that fits through the hole at the choil to secure the blade when the strap is fastened. I hope that helps, I will try to get photos out when I get the sheath.

Andy could always take a photo and post it, Hint Hint...

I bought the Meant Street under the condition that Andy take Amy out tonight to a nice (I mean nice) restaurant.

He has prototypes of the new Game Warden & six inch camp model. Both are real nice knives. Once these get around Jerry will need to turbo-charge his grinder.

Doggone it, Mel! You beat me to it!

I didn't even get to see it, at least. Very nice.

Thanks for the explanation Melvin. You described it quite well, but I'd still love to see a picture (Andy).

Congrats on that knife Mel! I was teasing about the finger, in a way. haha

I have a variant coming that should be quite similar to that, but I cannot tell if yours has a sharpened top edge at all, which mine should have. Variant or not, mine is taking a boar this fall

Man, I miss the Blade Show. Between that and the New York show, there are no better places for cool knives and stuff that go with knives. Please keep us posted on that sheath, sounds reeeeeaaal interesting.

Be careful, have fun.
