That aside, what are your plans for celebrating...? :)

Recently I had the chance to watch another episode of the current season of Dual Survival, & again got to see Grady Powell using the Camillus CK9. Somewhere I saw someone online stating that Grady Powell designed the knife, but I have not yet been able to confirm or deny this. Camillus has very little detail on the CK9 on its website, & of course TOPS doesn't have anything public about this on its website because it's not technically a TOPS knife.

Okay, this is an interesting story. I don't know what to think of it. I'm a big fan of TOPS Knives, but this story is too important to not post something about it.

I notice there's not a group for throwers, hm...

KnifeMakerChris Mounce said… That knife is actually for a good friend of mine. He wanted something unique and one of a kind but not to flashy. He loved it and wants a Bk-9 done next so I think he might be getting the Ka-bar bug too! Gotta love it! Really glad that I found you guy's...most people get bored with all my knife talk. Lol
