[JohnnyD]

wife surprised me on our tenth anniversary with a benchmade north fork. I never knew deploying a blade could be this smooth. also surprised by how light the knife is. truly impressed.

Looks like a great blade. I've got some old Gerber Buck knives that are holding up so well I haven't purchased any of the new offerings. I bet you'll have great luck & longevity with the new gift.

I like the old Gerber blades. have a few of the fixed but with pocket knives I usually go cheap. have enjoyed crkt and others but always end up misplacing them. will keep a close eye on this one and thank you.

Love those grips! Should get some vz grips for the 938 to match!

 

[JohnnyD]

now that is a good idea. love to accessorize lol. I do love the vz operators I have on one of my 1911s dont think I've ever thought to look for them for the 938. have just seen the hogue.

 

[StacattoP]

I had seen a pair of gators on there pretty close to match

 

[JohnnyD]

just found apair of cool hand starburst pattern g10 grip that would look great. never heard of them before. see all black vz but half the material and more expensive then the ones on my 1911.

Post a link would be cool to see!

would have matched great with the grips on my defender if my buddy hadn't talked me out of it.

Man that's a sweet defender! What a good friend! Dude nice grips are they in cart?

 

[JohnnyD]

loved the defender but never seemed to carry it over the sig or my colt commander. yup thinking some new grips are in order. been carrying the sig for years. she deserves some love.

What!!!!! You're in a prison state no autos! That's just wrong! it should be a crime that they make it a crime! So only single shot spring assisted pistols to huh?

Idaho looks better and better every year. funny here in vancouver I carry a pistol but not a fixed blade knife. makes sense right?

 

[StacattoP]

Run away! Idaho has some great laws! And herd property was cheap! In Oregon I carry my fixed blade 7.5 inches and a non concealed auto! God bless Oregon but we are getting close!

 

[JohnnyD]

we have a plant in pocatello owned by my work. if I could talk the wife into it I'd seriously consider it. whole west coast is going to hell. feel bad for the folks east of the cascades having to deal with our crap.

 

[StacattoP]

Were all Americans! We just need to make room! Hope you can get out of there soon!

unlikely with the wife and kids but somebody has to stay and fight the good fight.
