Knife with an axe handle. Cool.
Well, you Axed for it like the 1950’s TV show.
Microtech automatic OTF knives are da ‘bomb. But they are pricey, they usually run from about $350 to $500 depending on the model. Except the Chinese are copying them down to the box and accompanying paperwork. These “clones” are available online for about $100. Don’t get caught with one in your pocket; in many states, possession may be a felony.
I made a partial check of the company. They started in Florida then moved out of state, If they stayed in Florida, no problem ordering the auto. I’m not allowed buy auto knives from out of state. Last 2 were A benchmade made Infidel OTF and the limited edition Benchmade/H&K side auto opener. Bought them at the Palm Beach County gun show years ago. I probaly could get away from ordering out of state through commercial carriers. I should check to see if Florida dealers sell the Microtech line.
First deployment in 2004, our supply guy had to spend all the remaining budget, to get the same or more amount in the next iteration. Standards…
So, he found the toy catalog, and ordered just about every make of auto-knife the US Army offered. The 64 of us in the Security Company, received up to 7 knives of various makes. I kept 3 of the Benchmarks, and traded for 5 extra Buck 110A’s, and brought home 8 of them 🙂
CRKT CEO is kinda slick.
For an intractable alcoholic, Churchill was a VERY smart guy.
I’m proud to say that I got control of my drinking and am now a tractable alcoholic.
How large is your tractable engine? Can it plow 40 acres?
Give me 40 acres and I’ll turn this rig around, its the easiest way I know how. Sounds like a gear jammers song.
I drank gin, once. That was at least 50 years ago. It will never happen again!
I have to scan my drivers license to buy beer so yeah
I’m trackable by the state.
Dollar General is like that, at least in Texas.
So you’l just have to grin and Beer it Beans
