Think As You Like But Behave Like Others

If you make a show of going against the times, flaunting your unconventional ideas and unorthodox ways, people will think that you only want attention and that you look down upon them. They will find a way to punish you for making them feel inferior. It is far safer to blend in and nurture the common touch. Share your originality only with tolerant friends and those who are sure to appreciate your uniqueness.

    Trent: I see by your Profile that you are also into Western Knives . Do you by any chance have any Western Brand Boot Knives that you would part with. W75 and W77 are the ones I am looking for.

    Trent...don't shoot me, but I'm behind, again, on the survey results :) But I haven't forgotten.

    You really have a wide range of knives in your collection, don't you? (no, I'm not trying to change the subject, I am just noticing your pics)....

    You know the tactical toenail thing going on in the toenail group is all your fault..LOL. Yeah, when you posted the camo pic, you got my mind going off in the tactical direction, when I think the question posed was supposed to be serious....now you got me off designing RAT, ZT or Strider a new knife :) Actually, while I do think it has legs, it's pretty funny.

    The mini covert is pretty cool. It's mostly the coolness factor though, there is some blade play, and it is surprisingly difficult to sharpen, but if you have a good sharpener it shouldn't be a problem. but the assisted opening is perfect, its very nice and intimidating. I would definitely get one for the collection.

    Radio Trent- cool! As bad as I hate to admit it, I must be too old, cause I didn't recognized any of the songs.
    Hey the reason I dropped by was to give you this....in light of our conversation (couldn't attach it to the last PM I sent), so wanted you to have it.

    Well....my new strider is supposed to be here tomorrow :) I think it's the first knife I've bought off a forum from a complete stranger...the USN.
    I'm considering doing the music player on my page too....but thinking about using it differently....mulling it over, but you gave me an iKC idea:)
    Have a great day!

    You like the that idea?! Reading a couple of "online community management books" (y'all didn't know I have to work at being the mayor here, did ya?) last night that's where I got the idea after seeing yours. One thought develops from another.....
    I can do the recording in GarageBand (and edit it cleanly), then I guess it is a simple upload from there, eh? Now I just need to think about something folks here would actually want to listen to? Ideas?
    Oh yeah, I didn't know what Yanni is/was, but listening to it now, Pretty good- http://www.yanni.com/
    Keep the ideas coming. I love them.

    Hi Trent, Thanks for extending the friendship. You've got family in my neck of the woods, and I've got family in yours, Lancaster and Lake Hughes. No brick and mortar store for me, all sales online, my site, ebay, etc. You're close to Solvang, have you ever made it over to to the Nordic Knives store and show? Been meaning to make that show for years but just hasn't worked out. Mike

    Hi Trent, Spyderco will make a limited run of a "old knife design" Some new designs IE Differant steel used, differant scales used etc. Its a varient model

    Here is from the Spyderco wiki:


    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spyderco#Sprint_Runs

    Sprint Runs
    Spyderco often produces limited edition models, referred to as sprint runs. These limited runs are generally versions of discontinued models with different blade and handle materials, though some are completely new models, such as the Kopa; a "dress knife" with several variants, each with a different handle material such as micarta, evrina, and tiger coral.

    And also from Spyderco's website. The max is 1500 pieces, but some are released with as little as 500.



    http://www.spyderco.com/search/index.php#glossary



    Sprint Run

    A limited, one time only, production of a knife design/model. Production numbers are less than 1500 pieces.

    Hope that helps, Glenn

    Trent, Sorry for the delay in responding. Well the case referance has 60 years on the Spyderco. Find me in 2070 and we can compair notes , Please keep in mind I will be 97 years old ! LOL. OK all kidding aside people collect what they like, At the moment Spyderco's have my attention. The sprint run models will in the long run be worth more then a tradtional released just based on limited volume. Another side of this is , The sprint run releases offer differant blade styles, scales etc. So it makes available options not had before. As to the direct question what will gain value faster, beauty in the eye of the beholder , and desire will forcast given values. , Collect on. Glenn
