I will be very grateful, and good karma will come to you <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

My Carbon Fiber Dragonfly is still my favorite Spydie of all.

you guys have no sense of humor <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

not bashing Benchmade at all. In fact, I probably own just as many BM models as I do Spyderco. I merely said that the Ascent/Eclipse model, IMHO, sucked -- especially when compared to the quality one would find in the Endura, a comparably priced knife.

BTTT...

Just got my Gunting and drone in the mail from Linda today. For those of you who haven't done business with her, I highly recommend!!!!!

Better go buy some bandaids... Gotta practice the kinetic opening on my thigh <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Buy an Endura instead. Approximately the same price with a 10x increase in quality.

Ascent was the first BM knife I bought, and it was flimsy crap.

Does anyone know of a place which has a deal for buying both the Gunting trainer and live blade at the same time?

Dijos,

A Master At Arms is a term you would be more likely to find in the Western schools of weaponry and combat. Much like a Sifu, Sensei, Sahbumnim, Guro, etc.

You may find it interesting to learn that in the UK, a Boy Scout can get his Master At Arms Merit badge (http://www.scoutbase.org.uk ...

Bram,

I don't think anyone here is disputing that. But Sometimes, you have to take the law, and the enforcement of said laws into mind. If they say 2+ inches is a deadly weapon, it doesn't matter what people with crippled hands think. <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Of course ...

Sal,
Any updates on the status of the CRIMPT?

Thanks,

Liko,

You gotta play smart. That's for sure. Despite the fact that the Gunting is a good knife for utility, there will always be people and legislators who think that any knife is a bad knife. Plus you have the "in the know" factor playing: the cops who own Guntings know that its a MBC knife.

Mickey,

Just out of curiousity, how did you modify your Endura? Any chance of seeing a pic?

Great article Mr. Janich.

Sjamboks in the umbrella stand make for good "ready" weapons when placed by the door.

I tend to subscribe to the keeping weapons around the house as well, after visiting a martial arts master who kept a few expandable batons on bookshelves, nice knives in the kitchen ...

Here in Ohio, it tends to get cold enough in the winter that one tends to re-evaluate their clothing options. Big coats, gloves, etc.



I have realized that the usual blade clipped to the pocket isn't as accessible when you've got gloves and a 3/4 length coat on. Gloves are necessary for me (I walk ...

yea!!! me too!<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

i'm still in shock. it's amazing how even when you've never met someone in person how much it affects you when they're suddenly taken away.

James was the true epitome of a gentleman. I will miss him greatly.
