Here you go Mike.       http://www.truenorthknives.com/vcom/product_info.php?cPath=347_415_416&products_id=4408&osCsid=a103e4be1767b02bf02105fb16b20f85

I don't know what your talking about.  The victorinox was only 20 bucks...  :taunt:

    My gun is a tool.   Weapon is defined as "a tool used with malicious intent."  If the intent isn't malicious, its just a tool. 

Here Mike. Take your mind off of it.

I wonder what he thinks of this Mayo large Covert in my pocket.  Stellite 6K blade too. 

    Nah.  No nerve struck.  Was just trying to point out the absurdity of your statement.  Spots offered to give the man a knife but even that is valued at well over 100 dollars.  The thing is, craftsman charge for the time they put into something.  And they should be compensated.  In the case of these folders, around that 100 dollar price point is where things tend to jump in not just quality but materials as well.  You move from steel handled knives to exotic composites and titanium.  Blade steels improve.  Quality control improves.  Manufacture moves from China back to the USA.  And collectibility becomes a factor.  You can buy the knife, use it for a while, decide to upgrade and get most of your back if not all.  I have two knives on me right now that are worth more than MSRP and they are used.  

  Anything wrong with a used HiPoint for around $100?   I don't understand these $500 glocks....then again, we are just being absurd here about someone else's money.

    You act as though one knife is the solution... Knives are like guns and potato chips...

    That's a plus right? 

Zt 350 is a favorite in that range. What are you doing with the old spyderco?

I think you are all missing the point.  Chuck likes to sword fight...

Chuck is off somewhere giving him a tug.

My mechanic is at Christian Brothers on Summer at Whitten.  A little higher priced than other places but I trust them like no other.  

Mike beat me to it.  If you go with the worksharp, get the Ken Onion version.  And then go ahead and plan on getting all of the attachments.  One of the attachments will allow it to take a leather belt for stropping.  And stropping is all you need 9 times out of 10 anyways.  

    My springer service grade came from CMP and you would be silly not to order one.  Great rifle! 

Its why I generally don't try to turn off others from either company.  I try to let them make their own choices about companies.  And CRK and RHK certainly make nice products.  

Personally, I'm not a fan of CR. Just personal opinion but I watched CR treat people poorly over the past few years and it turned me off from him. Same with Hinderer. There are way too many good guys out there for me to be supporting the jerks. RJ is one of the good guys. And speaking of, Willis, I know you are big fan of RJ. Have you bought one of his son's pens yet? Matt Martin.

I don't know if yall know this or not, but TN is a great state for knifemakers.  We have some serious top tier guys churning out knives in this great state.     Jeremy Horton JB Stout (Jason) JB Blount (Brad) Jon Graham Andy Fitz     There aren't many other states in this country as stacked as this place.  I'm still working on getting a couple but I intend to have at least one folder and one fixed from each of the guys above.      

Ohhh a hollow handle. I've been obsessed with them since I was a kid and saw Rambo the first time. I bought a bunch of crap ones through the years. Would love a well made one.

Congrats.  Kirby is awesome! 

Awesome.  You will love it.  I was in Nashville this weekend and Got to handle that Magnus Minor.  Its an awesome piece as well.  I just haven't played with a Laconico that I didn't like.  

I appreciate it.  I've got a couple of orders due soon so funds are tight for a little while.  I'll definitely be in touch though.      And can't wait on the pics 

I want to get a Q36 at some point.  If I could get one custom made for me, it would be elmax blade steel with zirc bolster and micarta handle.  Can't wait to see your pics. 

Good deal.  He just added a new model to the lineup.  His largest knife yet and a smaller version.  They are thumbstud knives without flipper called the Magnus (over 4 inches) and the Magnus Minor (3.5").  I hope to add a Magnus to my collection next year.   Here is a video my buddy made of his Magnus Minor.     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNPvu4oU0tQ       And when you are talking to Ray, I think you can get a sense of how humble he is.  Very down to Earth guy.  

    Looking forward to the update.  I want to get mine done as well.
