Sorry to hear of your injury. I needed to have a surgeon re-connect the nerve in my palm when I severed it, otherwise I would have lost partial sensation in my finger. If you are concerned about permanent loss of feeling you might want to get another opinion about whether it will heal on its own, as...

Don't know about your usual diet, but I was able to lose 15 lbs by just cutting back on sugars and simple carbs, and substituting complex carbs. For example brown rice instead of white, low carb whole wheat breads, no fruit juices, whole wheat pasta instead of regular, no candy bars, and limited bak...

Nice to see that you didn't let the W&C bullies keep you out of action. You've been missed by many forumites.

Not ugly at all. I think that Akimbo would be a winner as long as its kept thin, with a rounded choil for comfort. How about an optional deep carry pocket clip?

Sal,

If things are stil being bandied about, I'd like to advocate for a deeper pocket clip.

On thicker cigars I often perform a V-cut. A sharp knife works like a charm.

I resolve not to cut myself this year.

The only two I felt I had a positive ID on (besides the Harpy of course) was the Kabar on the far left and a Gerber Trident on the far right.

That show has definately got me hooked.

Thanks for sharing. Sounds like an effective guard. Does anyone know the brand name of the guards that Mike J. uses for MBC arm guards?

I lived for two years in Argyllshire, Scotland back when the U.S. Navy had a base at Holy Loch. Great country.

Personally I find it odd that a person with a zero feedback rating would start out on eBay by posting a $6000 auction.

Michael Janich, the designer of the Yojimbo is a fan of the movie. In this thread http://www.spyderco.com/forum/Topic.asp?topic_id=2141&forum_id=9&Topic_Title=Yojimbo&forum_title=MBC he explained that "The name means 'bodyguard' and I thought had a nice sound to it." Best regar...

I had the same reaction, but in the bottom of one post Druid said he was dyslexic. If true, maybe he ought to put that in his signature line so people will give him the benefit of the doubt when trying to make sense of his posts.

Mr. Janich is a world-class instructor. I flew from California to Golden to learn from him. Well worth the money.
