I got a choice - CF ( about $80 ) which I
understand is highly heat resistant & more
"artsy" and -
almite ( about $54 ) which I had originally
back in 95'. Is this stuff really scratch
resistant? ( I never had my almite Cricket
long enough to find out <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>)
I'm shooting for PE as I'd call this my "badge" ( not to be confused with
the song by Cream - from their last
album ) and it'll become my new EDC.
My SE will see service on & off, but
will be "retired" for the most part.
What say the augurers?

The Cool -
See, I'm looking for more of a "for show"
( the SE FRN's days of work are over, as it
just stays clipped to the pocket ; people
are IMPRESSED by it, but I'd like to show'em
a classier version <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>) The Ying/Yang cricket's still offered as well by Mr. Hasegawa, but I'd like to stay within the
two choices ( CF -or- almite ) BTW - what's
the weight ( in ounces ) of the CF model
( I can't read Japanese! <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>)

Got any idea of it's weight vs. FRN?
Gang -
Here's a tech/trivia question : weight of
the almite, and weight of the CF.
FRN is 1.25oz -or- 36g
I'd like to get as close to that as possible.

Its thickness is just right too.Not as think as the FRN or almite but thicker than the SS.

rorschach & J Smith -
Looks like CF ( until all the votes are in )
BTW rorschach - what'd ya' think of Bernie
Schaeffer's portfolio? Everyone it seems took a big "hit" when that "bubble" broke!
Bernie's insight ( and my friend's judiciousness this time around <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>) bought
his portfolio up $2,500 this past Friday!
While not an investor, I like that "contrarian" approach to investing.
Now, where to get $100K to do the investing?

Keep an eye on it.It doesn't look like it is going to sell and I bet he relists it.At the end of another 7 days would get you close to the 3rd.

Check THAT ONE OUT!
FLA residents pay 7% TAX! Lemme guess, the
seller's in good ol' FLA?
Might be worth a trade for a Matriarch
( as I don't carry the **** thing! ) -or-
an SOG X-Ray Vision ( the Pentagon Elite's
my favorite ) The thread goes on -

Hi Allen,
An interesting read, but I'm more of a traditionalist when investing, also a "tortoise" as opposed to a hare. I don't play commodities or futures, I leave my gambling for Vegas. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
My stuff is coming back, albeit slowly. I'm a "buy and hold" kinda guy. 2004 has been good so far, I'm almost even from my bubble losses.

So's my buddy Jim. He'll "short" every now &
again <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> and is just about even since the "bubble". It can't be all that bad though : Look what happened to Jesse Livermore!

Here's a "quotable American" -
"640K ought to be enough for anybody."
Bill Gates of MicroSoft
Warren Buffet he's NOT!
OBTW - Have you read this year's "Stock Trader's Almanac ( 2004 )"? I got Jim a
copy for letting me stay at the Marshall
ranch until I find suitable "digs".

How's this for an idea -
I was just on One Stop's site and gandered
at the SS Cricket - how about a CF slab on
one side ( as the <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>benza lock prohibits
any handle material )?
BTW - BestKnives.com has the grey Calypso jr. for $43.95 under "out of production &
special interest" on their <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> portion of
their website. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Allen, you could put material on both sides of the SS Cricket. Instead of a frame lock you would have a liner lock.
About your first question, get the Alu Cricket. It's a classic, and it makes a real 'cricket' sound when opening. And you can take it apart for cleaning. IIRC you can't take the CF apart.
