coin - 2015

#1

Post by sal »

A while back there was a discussion about our Challenge coin that we make for Military application. Because they are not readily available, we had discussed making a coin that would be readily available.

We are pleased to announce that we now have a coin that will be available in a few weeks. It is our first coin for the general market. It's somewhat unique and it's dated 2015. If it is received well, we'll try to make a new one next year.

Kristi will provide more info and Mike is shooting some pics.

Sounds awesome, I'm in for one.

Not to derail, but I would also love to see a more traditional pattern for the bandanas....maybe replace the little paisley eyedrop things in the middle of this with bugs and leave the rest traditional style?

In red of course, this was just the only good pic I could find of the pattern I was thinking about.

That's a great idea Sal. Looking forward to the pics. Once I get mine I'll have to find someone to challenge with it. That will be tough as I don't know any other knife nuts like myself.

Thank you Roman. I was gone for about 7 years due to some extremely hard times. I'm really glad to be back now! ;)

It is sad and good to have you back.
I still remember your exquisite CF/PE Civilians on blue background.
