Thanks! I enjoy looking at all the knife pictures, I have new ideas spinning in my head. Currently I am working on a Balisong for customer Spencer. This place looks like a really cool place for like minded individuals. I like it!

knife state. I like collecting automatic's of all price ranges.
Also WWII memorobilia. I go back to the early 40's.
So. hello from Arizona--I come from Massachusets----
Hey JJ - well hunting season is over( 2 Does) and I am back in town. Thought I would drop a line to you and see how things are going. Thanks for all the cool and informative E-mails you have sent to me. I see you have bought a few more knives - looking good
Hi J.J.
Regarding paracord... Yes, I like the monkey fist quite a lot as well. They are useful and fun. One of my friends bought a boat last year. I recently presented him with a monkey fist for throwing line to dock. A lot of people don't realise that is what they are originally for.
I have been making a lot of them lately. Some people put nothing inside them. I always put something inside. For light duty, a wooden or plastic ball. For more heft, a ball bearing. Sometimes I make bigger ones with rope instead of para cord and a golf ball or a tennis ball core. Once I made one for a guy that wanted a large heavy one. So I put a slit in a tennis ball and filled it with BB's. That was a really HEAVY-DUTY monkey fist!
