Happy Birthday buddy!

I have 10 Spyderco’s I have had many many more. At a local gun shop I can buy like new Sig 9mm police trade ins for $249. “ Guns or knives Butch “ when knife prices and gun prices are nearly the same I’ll buy a gun.



I find that when I open a box with a 9mm, folks don't appreciate the noise ...

Those scales really POP ! Buddy Dan
