Deals, Bargains & sales
I thought we should have a place to share deals we find. Like my $15 A.G. Russell Deer hunter. Also let others know about sales on knives and gear or ask for help finding a knife we want.See More

Lisa Mari Sloan said… - Thanks for your comments about my dad's knives. I wish I had more to post but I can't find the flash drive that has them on it. I'll start working on that as soon as I have time. Kind of cool you are a musician. I've been a singer all of my life. I've won a few competions and I know a few musicians in Branson. What's your genre.

Randy Lobb said… - Alec,
Thanks for the good ideas. I was looking at the cold steel lineup. How does their pocket catch compare to Emerson's wave? It looks like it might not be as reliable, but Ive never actually had one in hand.
Right now I'm carrying a CRKT M-16 which is working OK until I can fork out the cash for an Emerson again. I think I'm going to go with the fighting bowie this time, I just love that blade shape.
Thanks again,
-Randy

- Hi Scott,
I do have an old toenail. There was a nice old CASE BROS toenail up on ebay last week. I have a couple of really rare knives. I have a "Johnny Woodcarver" and I have two different push knives. I also have lost of case memorabilia. Some old bills and all the catalogs and a print block from one of the old catalogs.
Do you think people would be interested in photos online of all of this?
Oh, and thanks for the welcome.
