Momma told me that I shouldn't say anything if I can't say something nice.......

.....That looks like a very secure pocket clip ;)
Warhammer 40000 is- basically- Lord Of The Rings on a cocktail of every drug known to man and genuine lunar dust, stuck in a blender with Alien, Mechwarrior, Dune, Starship Troopers, Fahrenheit 451 and Star Wars, bathed in blood, turned up to eleventy billion, set on fire, and catapulted off into space screaming "WAAAGH!" and waving a chainsaw sword- without the happy ending.

:D only if they increase the blade length by 2mm....That's a major improvement, yeah? :rolleyes:

I'll wait until they make a counterfeit version for half price. I'm not some "steel snob" that needs rainbow super steel. Regular rainbow steel is good enough.

I have to agree, Tac Force knives aren't as bad as people make them out to be. They're great for first time collectors. I brought a Tac Force knife years ago and it's still going strong. I still have my eyes on a spyderco knife eventually :)

That’s one fancy shiv. Looks like something you might get mugged with at a gay pride parade.
