Very good choice. :)

I love HK firearms. My brother in law has an HK .45 and it rocks.

Nice snag.

Nice job Dr. :)

I have never owned a CS knife but I've been thinking about it just to see what they are like.

I actually traded a knife for my Para. I didn't even know it had a black blade because the dude never said so. When it arrived I was so surprised and I loved it. I loved it so much that I decided to just keep it. It was just a question I forgot to ask and the guy forgot to tell me. I like both the b...

I've had 4 Calypso Jr's that all recentered the blade with clip removal. I don't worry about it now as they don't touch the sides. I don't think I would worry about the dust/lint/dirt thing with the screw holes. I say this because I think a simple washing of the knife and/or blowing out the holes wi...

I don't care how the wood sticks up off the handle. I also don't like the finger dimple in the blade.

Nice knife, just not my bag. ;)

I'm sure most of you know by now that I'm a little OCD. I'm OCD about being clean. I don't wash my hands 50 times or anything but I am really anal clean and always have to have a clean room, clean desk, etc. I also get very anxious easily. I sometimes have to step back and tell myself to "relax...

:spyder: Well I got my Paramilitary today. I love it. It locks up perfectly and is nice and tight. I've wanted one of these for so long that I'm now glad I got one. I love the black blade way more than I thought I would and the G10 handles rule. I know this may be old hat to most of you but I wanted...

It is a very cool lighter. I am glad to see you use it too. I like to use mine but I quit smoking about 8 years ago so I've not used any since. It looks like in the bottom photo that the hinge is slightly bent or that the lid of the lighter is open slightly. Let us know of the outcome as I'd be curi...

I think it's a legit Zippo. I'm just surprised to see it so scratched up and used for a 2006 model. That thing looks like it's 5 years old already. Is that how it came? Was it supposed to be new? Did you scratch it up like that? I can't see the lines you're talking about in the picture but someone w...

Hmmm....

So did this just start happening when you switched the clip around? Was it fine before you moved the clip?

What is "Tri Flow" and what did you use to "clean up" the light oil from the factory?

When I get home I'll post some links for you to peruse.

I need to get a Swedish firesteel too. I think it's the kind of thing you're talking about JD. They are like $15 at Thinkgeek.com.
