<p style="text-align: center;">It was a GREAT mail day for me yesterday.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Two knives .. a full color JANTZ catalog ..&.. a gift certificate good for ANYTHING & EVERYTHING in said catalog.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">WOWZA .. did I have a good day !!!</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Blade steel is not that great .. spring is weak .. more on that later.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The small OTF .. was purchased for the frame & mechanism. The blade steel ..well.. a std (cheap ..so, perhaps.. sub-std) needle file readily gouges any blade surface to which it is applied. Need I say more ? It was purchased for the parts.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The full color JANTZ catalog.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Visualize .. proverbial kid in candy store.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I would submit .. in house for under 24 hrs ..&.. note the frayed edges & corners.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It didn't arrive that way.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">And .. full color .. that's just plain cheating !!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It seems, I'm stuck in the blade blanks section .. go figure.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">D2 tempered to a 60 +/- 1 HRC is looking pretty interesting !!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I'll see you in the "<a rel="nofollow" href="http://iknifecollector.com/group/kniferepairrestorationupgradegroup" target="_self">Repair & Mod</a>" group.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">.</p>
