I couldn't take it any longer . . .

Post by sumner4991 »

Long story, but, I took a sneak peek at my "birthday present" today . . .my birthday isn't until March. Don't anyone tell my wife I took a sneak peek! :wink:

Thanks DaGriz :D

DaGriz isn't kidding about not taking the best of photos . . .here is the picture he took . . .

The good looks isn't the best thing about the knife. The feel and the balance of the blade is perfect. When I pick it up, I can tell by the weight there is a good amount of quality metal in there. I can hold it in my hand and it feels like it belongs there. When I open my hand and shake it a little, the knife stays put.


I finally have a darn nice knife . . .well, if I live to be 50. :shock: Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh . . . .
I'd rather wear out than rust out.

That is a beautiful knife, your wife may be the first one to use it if she finds out you have been playing with it before your birthday though, :lol:
DaGriz does make some great looking knives. I was looking at them here the other day on Wyverns Crossbows site. He has several on there listed for sale. Shure is tempting. :D

Scott, you're bad! I see that curiosity got the better of you. Have you never heard the saying: "Curiosity killed the cat." ?

Oh well now, even if you don't get see 50, you will have at least seen the knife. :lol:

I'm going to keep a keen eye out for those Ravens! They like shinny things. :evil:

I hope to have the knife with me next trip up there. :wink:
