      I routinely use a Shun kitchen knife. Love the damn thing

      I've handled a couple of Mcustas, wasn't my cup of tea. The liners were very thin and there was a lot of side to side play in the blade

      I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

        Mine has no play, but they are thin, but for general office things and apple cutting very smooth and perfect quality … 🙂

        I would say a peaceful piece of knifemaking...

              Thanks Doug! Yeah, the Buckaroo pouch is just great but I still need to find a stockman to fit it.
              I didn't realize these pouches ran that small and only have one knife that fits it but even that one is on the
              big side.
              I need to get Ron to make me a bigger one soon, great guy, great product. 🙂

                I have not

                I have dropped one when something caught the clip and pulled it out of my pocket, but I have NEVER lost a knife

                  They're actually designed for slipjoint knives. I have a very cool one coming in sometime this week, I'll let you know if it fits the standard sheath

                    Thats what happens to me all the time, especially when carrying something heavy. I just lost a mini grip about a week ago and was pretty bummed about it. I had sanded the clip side of the handle smooth so it would not rip my pockets…  😛

                        The Vulcan's will solve that problem!

                            Have any of you "knifenuts" heard (or NOT heard) of these Ray Laconico knives and folders. Last night I was surfing the web like the USS Enterprise and found out about him. I must say that aesthetically those really catch my eye.

                            I guess he don't mind me linking these pictures from bladeforums since he's in the business of making and selling them:

                              Does anyone here know what the safest way is to send a butterfly knife over from the States to Belgium?.. It's been years since I had one, but now I can't seem to find one here in Europe… Well, not without meeting in an alley with a guy named Gregorov... Still looking around... Want a very thin and light one, preferable with a clip... Max price of say 150-200 $...

                              Last'un's 225 $ though… Not sure whether I wanna spend that much... But I don't want crap either... USA made preferably...

                                Seul, I know where to find these but I'm not sure if you can have them shipped overseas since they're illegal
                                here. They won't go through customs. That's here in LA though, not sure about the rules in other states as
                                they vary, I'll see what I can find out for you. 😉

                                  It's VERY risky to ship them outside of the US…I would not recommend this, especially with a high dollar knife

                                    How about through using a military PB?.. They're not scanned by customs right?.. Or it's at least legal to send weapons to them?..

                                          I meant the special mailboxes army personnel uses - even internationally… It's exempt from normal custom regulations and import restrictions, I thougt...
