So sorry to hear this. Prayers coming your way...

I've ordered with them several times and have never had anything but good service. With that said, I've never ordered anything that had to be shipped to an FFL. Good luck with it.

Woo hoo, we're making progress. As of yesterday my package is now 200 miles south of me rather than 550 miles north of me. So, this package is going to end up traveling at least 1050 miles and take a minimum of 6 days to make it's original 450 mile trip. If I didn't mention it before, screw the Post Office.

Rant on. I paid $20 to have a package delivered- priority mail, insured, signature confirmation from Northern Ohio to East Tennessee. Total distance about 450 miles. The package shipped on the 23rd. As of the 25th the package had made it a grand total of 100 miles- in the wrong direction. My package is now further away than it was when it started. How many freaking extra services do I have to buy to guarantee that they do their job correctly? Rant off.

Congrats Ben. I really like that Ranmandu too.

ORSA (Oak Ridge Sportsman Association) is a private range that only costs $120 a year. It has multiple ranges and is well worth the cost of membership. Google them to see more details...

Really nice one. I haven't handled a Chris Reeve that wasn't top quality. Where did you pick this one up?

Welcome Ben, enjoy the addiction. We'll have you on Ash-1s soon, then Fusion Battle Mistresses and MOABS. Surrender your checking account and enjoy...

Here are a few of mine. I use 550 cord, usually gutted. I learned a lot of my knots from TIAT's page on YouTube. Also, the Ashley Book of Knots is a great resource.

That's funny Steve, I had copied the exact same link to post here. The service at Knifeart can't be beaten. The last time I ordered from them I had a shipping confirmation 15 minutes later and had the knife in hand two days later.

Very nice. I've been carrying mine for a few months now and love it. Congrats.

That's a beauty. I love those scales!

They're at Blade every year. They do the Hog induction ceremony at their Saturday night dinner. I can send you info if you're interested.

Niiice! Skunk is really quick with the shipping isn't he? Glad you like it.

Beauty Steve, love the translucent green. Did you request S35VN or has Rick switched over for all of his blades?

Man, I've seen you work Bill's Outpost into about a half a dozen posts here in the last few minutes. Did you get a job there, lol?

Love that color combo Steve. You're gonna love the knife!

You should see the one that showed up today...

What he said, although I personally prefer the 350 over the 200. Better steel IMO and I like the spring assisted opening.

Finally got mine from Chestnut Ridge today, it's a really well made knife, but just not for me. I've got a Zero Tolerance that already fits the same role really nicely. The HEST will probably be on the classifieds soon.

I've bought a few red dots from Primary Arms and have had nothing but good dealings with them. Good people, good company.

Looks like a fine knife, but that word China on it is a deal breaker for me. They own enough of our crap already, I'm not going to give them a penny more than I have to.

Nice one Gary. I carry a 350 daily and love it.

What Knoxville gun store could you possibly be talking about? I will not even step foot in their store, even though they're less than 5 miles from my house.

In a word, yes. Fusion is run by Bob Serva, who used to be the president of Dan Wesson. His kits and guns are very highly regarded. As a disclaimer, I don't own one. I base my opinion on my research and the opinions of other 1911 owners. They have a whole subforum on one of the 1911 forums. Check them out.
