Thanks for the info.

Here is a closeup of the ELMAX blade after making 100 slicing cuts through 5/8" manila rope and cutting a bunch of cardboard. It was still very sharp after all the cutting, sharp enough to cut paper easy.

Jim,

Very nice work, sir ...

I'd be in for a 2011 Forum Para 2 or Manix 2.....a Forum Military with an exotic steel would be awesome as well.

I'm guilty as well!! At least now I know that I'm normal!!

Wonderful collection......but I think you are missing a Lum Tanto folder.

I've heard of people taking the standoffs out of the delrin and using those. It makes the knife completely open and really easy to clean. I'm tempted to do it to my CF S90V millie. I believe the ti models have an aluminium backspacer.

I just checked my Ti-M4 Millie....you are correct about the ...

Great scores man.....I myself am on the lookout for a 440V Military. They are next to impossible to find NIB.

That's a great looking Millie there Mr Blonde....CONGRATS!! Sal and crew are definitely awesome people. I'm definitely going to pick on up as soon as I save enough money....time are kinda tight right now.

Take care,
-Michael

I think he's plain ol' ignorant!! I have a notion to offer him 15 cents for it!!

Thanks for the pics BBQ........I'm definitely going to have to get a G. Bradley. I love the fact that it's beefy and has some heft to it. The M4 blade steel is the icing on the cake though....I love my M4 Mules.

I'm glad I ordered two of these. I think the CPMS35VN Mules are going to be the best in the series.

BTW....does anyone have a ZDP Mule they would like to sell? I missed out on those and the 9Cr18Mo Mules.....

90 left as of 12:34am EST, 13 January 2010......I'm ordering mine right now!!

I'm preparing myself for a deployment "over there". Help me decide which knife to take with me. I'm taking a Cold Steel Recon Tanto Fixed blade as my big fixed blade. I'm leaning towards a combo edge folder because while I plan to take my sharpmaker, I don't anticipate having a lot of free time to ...

Wow, what a gal. Looks like she has some Hapkido videos too.

Jim

She's definitely hot!! Check out her channel....she's a Black Belt in Hapkido!! That's one Fillipina I would not want to piss off!!! My girl studies Silat, so I know better not to piss her off!!!

Xolette, congrats on earning ...

First off......This guy needs to go back to school to learn the English language. Second.....If he is a knife maker and this Mariner is one of his "fixer up-ers", I'd really hate to see his "custom" work!! What a freakin' joke!!

I love how he throws his business card in for the last pic!!! Now we ...

Thanks for the scoop Kristi......the Warrior looks amazing. I can't wait to get my hands on this one!! My only "wish" on this knife would be Black Micarta handle scales.

Thanks Kristi.....I've been looking forward to this one.

Ah, yes, Styx... how soon we forget. I also noted Dire Straits mentioned earlier... again, how soon we forget.

I don't recall Heart or Olivia Newton-John being mentioned in the listings above. Both classics!

This was back in the days when MTV was fun to watch and we stayed up late on a Saturday ...

Prayers sent....and my heart goes out to your family. I'll run an extra mile for her in the next "stop breast cancer" marathon as well.

Nice.....thanks for sharing. I love Tom's work.
