When will knife makers learn!!!!

Gee, Havoc! If that's the only thing you find wrong with my response, you're in need of as much help as I am!

Off to look up the word "handle" in the thesaurus to see if I can twist the words into a way that will make me be able to say, "what I meant was...",
I remain,

Odd Pictures at Photopoint
An assortment of pictures I decided to share with anyone that was so bored they wanted to check out my antics. I did this to prove that I am indeed sane. Be advised that there's hardly any nudity. Feel free to sign the Guestbook!!
Manifesto of Madness
I wrote most of that at work after drinking massive amounts of coffee. I needed to look busy and that dribbled out of my head. There's also a whole bunch of Optical Illusions.
The Deadly and Scary Leatherman Micra Website.
Be warned that the tactics used at that last site are not for the faint of heart!
A Ballistic Knife in Action
Even though the guy in those pictures has the same exact tattoos as me, I have no idea who he is!

A knife is a knife is........ Get the idea. It is ownly what you the purchasser makes of it. Names are only tags and lables applied to the knife style, usually by the buying public. Most of all it is ownly a tool until used otherwise. The biggest case of miss labling is the palm or push dagger. I know of several hunting guides that use them to cape out and skin biggame animals. It really freaks out there clients when they pull out a 3 inch bladed palm dagger.

Seems ok except for the "thermoplastic handle." Isn't that just plasic that has been formed by heating? (thermo-?) Is it like kraton maybe? If so, that sucker is overpriced, IMHO.

Most of what you call plastic is thermoplastic. That means the plastic can be melted and re-formed. The other type of polymers are thermosets, like epoxy, which break down when heated, rather than becoming softer. If they're just calling it 'thermoplastic,' it's most likely ABS.

And, just for a little extra knowledge, Micarta and G10 are 'thermoset composites,' as they are a composite of a themoset (epoxy) and another material (fiberglass for G10; paper, linen, or canvas for micarta).
