    Hi David,

    I haven't had a lot of time for forums here lately...so haven't been on many of them. Just popped in tonight to look around and saw the discussion on the Taylor made Schrades and thought I'd chime in :)

    Well now Dead , I could of course send that knife to you but then Greg Holmes would have to sell his boat because he would be unable to afford to put fuel in it and I would feel terribly bad .

    Also as I believe Jan is giving away the same knife at the end of the month , so to send you the knife would be unethical cos it would ruin her plans .

    And thirdly these knives are as cheap as chips in the US whereas over here in poverty stricken Blighty they are as near as we get to luxury . So if I was to send you this knife I would be depriving the people of the UK of a National Treasure and would likely end my days in the Tower Of London .

    So as you can see as much as I wish to send you this knife I do feel it would be unwise !!

    can you open that knife?? I bet you can open it no problemo! you can still get the knife I'm sure, but zt has officially discontinued it. like I said haveing a bladestop as the only means of deploying the knife, is just wierd.  it's almost like the knife was made for experts and not just your regular knife fan.
