If you want to have something made, Dwayne Puckett is a great guy to work with and very reasonably priced. He'll make you exactly what you want. http://www.armoralleather.com/

What he said:)

Okay, I'll go ahead and close this for signups. I've got Daniel's info and will get the knife out to him on Friday. Thanks everyone!

As if I needed another reason to never spend another minute or dollar in Chicago...

You're taking me out of context. I brought up Bill of Rights because the comparison was made between 2nd Amendment and gay marriage. As I said before, "Right to Happiness" is not in the Constitution nor does it outweigh the law. The law in TN says gay marriage is not legal. It doesn't matter how much you or anyone else wants gay marriage to be a right, it isn't. As I stated before, I don't particularly give a damn who gets married. I just don't want your beliefs shoved down my throat anymore than you want mine.

No, you didn't. But you did compare it to the Second Amendment, which is in the Bill of Rights. The two are not related. Gay marriage is not a right, especially in a state where it is not even legal according to the State Constitution. The "Pursuit of Happiness" is not valid if it isn't in conjunction with the law. You can't marry a goat just because it makes you happy. To clarify, I'm not looking at this from a Biblical perspective. My personal opinion is that I couldn't care less who gets married to who. Just don't push it down my throat and don't make it an issue if I don't jump up and down and celebrate a lifestyle that I don't share.

I find your post ironic. Unlike gun owner's rights, the "right" to gay marriage shows up nowhere in the Bill of Rights. In fact, taking rights out of it all together, gay marriage is not even legal in Tennessee. Also not quite sure how his beliefs "infringe" on anyone else's rights. He doesn't refuse to serve gays, doesn't refuse to hire them, doesn't refuse them anything. Apparently in the liberal gay community, anything short of boisterous support for their lifestyle is categorized as intolerance and bigotry.

Sounds great guys. I'll leave this open for another 24 hours and if we don't have 10 by then I'll close it. Daniel, if you can PM me your shipping info I'll try to get this out to you on Friday.

I'm going to start a passaround for my user Busse BWM. I'll send the knife and a kydex sheath with a Tec-Lok to the first person on the list. The rules are as follows: 1) Post here that you want in. 2) Have at least 150 posts at TGO. 3) Use the knife. Chop wood. Baton wood. Make fire sticks. Use it to cut your steak. Have fun. 4) After you have used the knife- package it and mail it (Priority Mail insured for $500) to the next person on the list. Keep the knife for no more than one week. Current user and next user info will be maintained here. 5) Post a review of your experience with the knife. Pictures are expected and appreciated. I'm going to limit this to 10 people as I do use my knife and would like to have it back before winter time. Last recipient will ship the knife back to me. Knife is currently slightly more "used" than the picture shows but is still shaving sharp. 1. Metalhead 2. Broomhead 3. MacGyver 4. LumberJack 5. gjohnsoniv 6. willis68

Have him contact me and I'll take the defective Hinderers off of his hands. Knives are much worse than guns as far as I'm concerned. Absolutely addictive.

I'm carrying a Chris Reeve Startac Umnumzaan, probably the one above your Starbenza in the picture above. Absolutely love this knife.

I think your Cryo and your 0560 would get a lot more attention if you didn't photograph them with that ridiculously sexy anodized XM-18. Seriously though, nice group. I like my 0560 a lot. Never handled a Cryo but it looks like usual Kershaw quality. Congrats!

"Institute for Economics and Peace". Sounds like an unbiased organization.

I tried to negotiate a cash price on a CZ452 they had in Turkey Creek not too long ago. Guy behind the counter told me they didn't negotiate prices because they were the biggest gun store in the country and they didn't have to. Fair enough- they will never have to worry about negotiating a price with me.

Nice scores. ESEE makes a great knife and stands behind it with a great warranty. I've found the 3 and the 5 to be my favorites and I keep an Izula in my truck-bag.

Are you a fixed-blade or a folder guy? Both Fallkniven and ZT/Hinderer make really nice quality knives. Are you looking for a safe queen or something to carry and use? On a day to day basis folding knives make a lot more sense for me. On an emotional basis I love a fixed blade. Thus, my safe is filled with fixed blades and my pocket is filled with a folder. It looks like the value of the Fallkniven would put you into a ZT 0560/0561 with a little bit of cash left over. In that price range I might also look at Chris Reeve knives. I've got an Umnumzaan that has turned into my every day knife.

I would go with a CZ452 rather than the 455 but I'd go with the 455 over the Savage or the Ruger. Nothing wrong with either of the other two, CZ just makes a better rifle (IMHO). I have 3 of the 452's, a pimped out Ruger 10/22 and a Savage 93r17 with the accutrigger. All three brands are nice but if I could only keep one it would be the CZ.

That's sweet. I've never heard of a pellet grill. I cook on a Big Green Egg and wouldn't switch back to gas for anything.

Damned animals. No value whatsoever for human life. There's an old-school fix for that sort of behavior.

Glad you're the one who said it.

Disregard, found them at Bass Pro. As hard as these things are to find they must be made of unobtanium.

Thanks David, Will you let me know the shipped price to Knoxville when you figure out if you have the #10 also? Thanks.

The Becker BK-2 is hard to beat but it's a little bit larger than you stated (5.5" blade). I've also got an ESEE 3 that I think is just about perfect. If you haven't been to SMKW before plan to spend a couple of hours there.

This is apparently a pretty emotional subject for some people. Very simple for me. Gunbuster sign = no cash from me.

Ha, listening to stupid people is funny.
