Did you see that 'short sword' Mike posted? I do not have any swords and for the life of me can't see any need for one. But, damn, that looked nice!! Just might be my first.

Edit: Simultaneous post with TBG. Yes, you need to check out BRK&T sword.

Got a Dagger on order from Scott Cook and just ordered a damascus Lochsa. Couple of the Keys from David would be nice. I have several knives on order from Corbet Sigmon, who you guys have probably never heard of. Matt Cucchiara sure does nice work. I need to get one on order or pick one up somewhere. Jim Burke's knives seem to be very well received too.........

One of the biggest lies we all tell ourselves as men

That and "That's never happened to me before, I swear!!!!"

I have a Jones Bros Responder to arrive in any time, an Eddie Bacca Warnie soon and an Anso Revolution somewhere this year.

I'd like to get a Davidson Wyrm and another Ferret.

If I get really lucky, maybe a Carson 21 or Obbie Model 3

I saw the sword, nice. I don't need one but just want one. I got a Mad Dog Panther which has a 10 inch blade and it just feels good and fast in my hand. He makes a 18 in. Saxon for aroung $3500 but thats too much for me. Might change my mind if I could hold one. The 10in. Panther was only 3 inches more than the one I already had but twice as much. When I got it I could see why, one bad piece of steel. Kevin also made some bad axes at one time but like most of his stuff I just can't find them.

Since I can't get on his list for a custom, I will get the same three you have selected and one of the folders. Who am I kidding? I will get all three of the folders.
