Absolute craziness. We have to work very hard to stop all of this. Politics at its worst.

Gayle Bradley question

The Gayle Bradley looks like an extraordinary knife and I'm close to purchasing one, especially since my large hands favor a 4-1/2-inch handle. My question is, are the extended liners even the slightest bit uncomfortable? Are they somewhat rounded--or at sharp 90-degree angles?

The lock-up? The blade locks open solid as a railroad spike. The liners are both solid and not skeletonized.

Meeting Mr. Centafonte at ECCKS

On Friday, I went to the opening day of the 18th annual East Coast Custom Knife Show in New York City. I made a point of stopping at the table of Frank Centafonte. Mr. Centafonte greeted me very warmly and told me all about the knives he was offering for sale. They were beauties--no surprise. They w...

Centafonte III

I bought a Centafonte III this week, and I am so happy with it. I researched this forum extensively and got the feeling the C3 would be exactly what I long had been looking for--something between the Delica and the Endura that would afford my rather large hand four-finger grip with a three-or-so-inc...

ZDP Delica 4

I went to one of my favorite knife outlets today in Levittown, NY, hoping to find a VG-10 Delica 4. I did even better. I went home with a ZDP-189 Delica ($75), my very first Delica. On the blade next to the Spydie logo is 010V. I really like the blue/grey handle and the metal liners. I never thought...

Trust me, you didn't miss out on them yet. Call around to some of the many trustworthy knife dealers and see if they're in stock. If that's a bust or too much of a pain, check out eBay. They're all over eBay. A bunch of them are currently listed over a wide range of prices. Good luck! It would neve...

Jess Horn Micarta

Today I bought a NIB Jess Horn micarta C34P at a flea market for $125. On the blade is: 010. Is this serial number 10 of X? By the way, I hope two get at least two of the burgundy-handled ZDP Jess Horn sprint run this summer. The sprinter looks fantastic.

The Happy Return of the Native

I used to own a C78PBK, and I loved it but unfortunately I lost it. Today, many months later, I bought a C41PBK at a local gun shop--for some $20 more than Wal-Mart is selling it for, because the Wal-Marts near me on Long Island don't carry the Native. Anyway, my point is that I am knocked out by th...

My EDC since 2002

The term EDC gets used alot. I just got to thinking, and I realized this beauty has been in my pocket every day since 2002. The C38 Jess Horn PE lightweight. How about a sprint run in a colorful handle?
