Daryl Sawatzky replied to Scott King's discussion Who's got the iPad? in the group iKC Mac Users Group"No.
Just 3 MacBooks (2 are Pros), several G3 iMacs, a PPC6100 and a Macintosh SE30. Several iPod touches, many iPod classics, shuffles, Nanos... but no iPhones or iPads yet. I guess because I'd rather put my $$$ into camera equipment, and I…"

Daryl Sawatzky replied to Freddy Ramos's discussion Buck Knives made in China in the group Buck 110 Group"It sounds like you were looking at fake Chinese bucks, and they probably were made in Pakistan. As I said before... The Chinese made Bucks I've bought through official Buck channels were of excellent quality. Better than [some] US made bucks.
I…"
Daryl Sawatzky replied to Freddy Ramos's discussion Buck Knives made in China in the group Buck 110 Group"My comments were certainly not directed towards you, the original poster of the question.
It was a more general comment about how every discussion I've been a part of here has come back to the quality or craftmanship of US knoves compared with…"
Daryl Sawatzky replied to Freddy Ramos's discussion Buck Knives made in China in the group Buck 110 Group"I had the opposite experience with Buck Knives made in China. I bought two knives at the same store... a rubber handled American made Buck, and a Chinese made 'Whittaker' Buck. The precision and blade grind was vastly superior on the…"
Daryl Sawatzky replied to Scott King's discussion So what's the big deal not buying American-made knives?"Oh, you mean oldest surviving Canadian Knife company. They're younger than you are (and only 5 years older than me). Grohmann has one knife that I would consider. I almost bought the R380S Drop-Point Lockblade Hunter with Rosewood Handle a…"

Thanks for the birthday greetings.
I'm vacationing in the Canadian Rockies. I figured for a vacation souvenir I'd buy something for around a hundred bucks. I found a folding Buck knife with red/orange aluminum scales with engraved flames. on sale for $94. It was so cool. I must have stared at it for an hour, but I finally walked away. It was too big for a pocket knife and too small for a serious belt knife. I just couldn't justify it. So I bought a Celestron waterproof roof-prism 10x42 binocs instead. Did I make a mistake? I don't know. I still have time on my vacation to find a nice knife...
