These Pakal Knives are something else....The more I train with them the more in awe of them I am....I have become comfortable with them.... enough to speed up my drills,, so fast all you see in the mirror is the flash of steel trailing in air. As you can tell the Novocaine has yet to wear off....Doc :D

Doc I so know what you mean......coming to terms with the effectiveness of the blade design. Awwww inspiring to say the least.......its just different. So simple yet so dynamic.......Doc, did you ever think going backwards would move you forward?haha :p
Mark sent me a updated drawing today -- We are getting close !!!!!!
I get this Kwi Kwa Ju and there may be some Ronins etc. for sale soon -- :eek: :D :D

I know bro...I'm not selling my Ronins as of yet....but I do look at it sitting there in the draw all lonesome....I can't help to look at it and say awwwww......I will probably use it for outer coat pocket carry this winter....but the Kwi Kwa Ju has knocked it out of the box and the Ronin won't find any more time in the edc rotation, at least around the waist....Sad but true...It feels like an old friend has died....but I also feel like a new one has been born....Doc :D
Glad you are making progress with Mark!....It is worth the time and energy you are putting in....Doc :)
"Always Judge a man by the way he treats someone who could be of no possible use to him"
That's what it looks like...then that's what I'd call it.... Very nice...they come through better looking than Mark's photographic skills will permit.... I think your gonna love the look and colors of that G-10...Doc :D
