Well... I couldn't help myself...

[snow and steel]

Ms. Yangdu was kind enough to arrange my Bilton to be shipped out this coming week... and after playing with my Ang Khola for the last couple of days, my desire won out and I jut ordered another - the M43.

I'd like to blame the fellow members here for getting me addicted. The pictures sort of reeled me in, and now that I've got them in hand I can't stop.

I forsee a selling of my [now] lesser blades coming soon!

Thank you again Ms. Yangdu, and many thanks to the Kami's!

:thumbup: If I could only keep 1 it would probably be my M43 my current count is 7 and I'm looking for a 15" CAK to round that out. I'm heading south next month by plane and my checked bag will probably give the x-ray machines a stroke
snow and steel, where are you at in Ohio? The Bilton is a cute little knife it and my 12" CAK will via for position as my hiking knife if I ever give up the Bahadur (which just got brown canvas micarta handles)

oldschool45 - I'm just north of cincy, so you're probably within 45 min of me. I've been known to go shooting down at the range in Crittenden KY from time to time.

I'm planning on the Bilton being a nice little daily knife, anf the M43 possibly being my camping blade.

Been here 10 years and still haven't been down to the Crittenden Range I usually shoot Steel at Fairfield Sportsman's Association.

I still prefer folders for daily carry, M43 is pretty big for a camping blade most are over 2 pounds.
