**Which custom folder would you like to see go in to mass production?

what's that huge knife James Mattis keeps bringing out? that custom cleaver frightening scare the poop out of rabbits in the street knife...
slap a kershaw label, rebuild it as a folder, then work it in with a speed safe. Double the rabbit poop or your money back!

You mean the Cold Steel Vaquero Grande 6" Folding Bread Knife (thank you, Jim March, for turning me onto that thing!)? That's already a factory knife!

And if they made it as a "Speed-Safe" it would scare me!

And yet another of my congregation's "little old ladies" has become a beliver in that thing, after wearing herself out trying to slice a loaf of egg bread with a conventional bread knife with a dubious edge, using only the very tip - nine inches out and the dullest part of the blade - to cut the bottom crust. The Vaquero Grande's S-curve makes short work of the bottom crust!

We now return to our regularly scheduled high-end combative knife coveting.

Oh! ... rebuild it as a folder ... Was that a khukuri which you saw before you? That would need a handle so long it would practically turn it into a pole-arm!

To you guys waiting on the Tim Herman "Sliver", I'd like to clarify that we are not "working anything out" as was mentioned above, but are going full steam ahead, and this series will be called "DECO by Hermanª" as Sliver's already taken as a trademark, so is "Deco" by itself.

Look for prototypes or (perhaps) production units at the Shot Show 2001 in January. Pre orders will be taken once we have the price nailed down in late October, so watch for a post in our forum around that time with pricing and pre-order instructions.

Stay sharp.

Anything from Butch Valloton.

You may want to check with Al Mar knives. They had a pretty nice "assisted opener" prototype on thier table at the Blade Show.

I didn't get a picture, but James Mattis of Chai Cutlery did. For anyone who has not seen his pictures from the Blade Show, James got a lot of great pictures of stuff your going to see in the next year of so.

Here is a link directly to the picture he got of the Valloton proto.

By the way, I spent two great years in Ankara
