Hi I'd like to ask opinions on how you approach a child's interest in knives or wether you encourage interest and learning. The uk where I am has a different culture to the USA on knives and guns but I believe its education and example. We in the uk have fairly tight laws despite this there have be...

Aloha dude!

Yup...perfect timing too, awaiting that model in smurph blue! :rolleyes:

take care my caffeine addicted bro!

Teaching to shoot for self defense: 18 years old. I pick 18 because it's a normal age for the child to leave home. At that point the parents can't protect the individual. So, I guess I'm saying a parent should not teach any child to shoot for that reason. I didn't. But, my son didn't grow up needin...

First and foremost, thanks everyone for the replies. Chad, longtime no see buddy, glad your back but sorry for the BS you are going thru right now. I can almost picture your daughter showing her boyfriend how to handle that gun, it had to be amusing for you two. I agree that it depends on the matur...

Chad! Seems like a millennium ago since we last saw you here. Good to “see” you, guy! What’ve you been up to lately? Any new knife designs in the works? (On a side note, I am truly sorry to hear about the separation/divorce. :( My prayers will certainly be with you and your family). Nevertheless, i...

I actually still have that BB gun its a Crossman 760 OM...I had the Pumpmaster too! LOL! You ain't that old are you Tank? The Crosman's I HAD (and wish i still had them) when I first started were an Uzi with folding stock that ran off CO2 shot only bb's, one that looked kinda like a mauser pistol, ...

I owned a Lava for less than a month, and it was stolen from my workshop by a "customer"...( he bought nothing...) An Smurf FRN sounds like the perfect replacement... Oh well that sucks bro...Hopefully the Smurph Blue G10 Lava will happen and I think it'd make a great replacement...I know...

Aloha and welcome!

THAT depends solely on how well it does at the "shows" I think...I pray it does well.

Aloha ALL, Hey not just thanks to Sal, but to EVERYONE who made the -rebirth of the Lava model possible. It took ALL of you, and thankfully Sal is a "listener", not just a one who "hears"... Now let's just pray the "smurph blue Lava" will be well received at all it's sh...
