Re: Probation period

Hi i am no spammer or bot. If you're on BladeForums, you probably know me from there. My posting frequency is maybe 3-6 posts per week. I was also all over CPF (2000+ posts) before i got more interested in knives than in flashlights. i still use several flashlights everyday.

Re: Favorite movie fight scenes

I like the IP Man movie series quite a bit! All of their fighting scenes are my favorites. Or how about the final fighting scene in Cobrai Kai Season 2 last episode? :D

Re: is this delica 4 real hopefully

it's fake. 100%.
doesn't even pass the optical FRN test.
