You are welcome.
But I must inform you on one possible flaw, often times one a black knife if it is used a lot the black scrapes off a bit and looks more warn down then a silver colored blade, but that should only be a problem if you worry about looks. I personally try and go with silver colored blades but thats because I like the look of knives a lot because I'm a collecter.

Its not a big deal, and it takes a while.

Why would that matter to a collector anyway, wouldn't they have separate knives that are for use?

@Warrior: It depends on the knife, really.
@Grave: Yes, but looks are still a big #1.

folding knives, schmolding knives. they can be convenient, but i like my fixed-blades. i'm a big fan of the good old fashioned boot knife.
warrior - spring-loaded blades are illegal, so if you get one, be ******** careful around whom you display it. i've got my dad's old stiletto, but i almost never take it out of the house because of our nanny-state government watching over us to make sure we don't hurt ourselves... scream

My gf carries a knife in her bra. 'Tis quite sexy. And to settle this, I'll just go ahead and mention the fact that my father owns a Tokarev. Win. wink

@ Mega: Spring loaded knives are illegal, but assisted aren't. Its very confusing but somehow it passes the law...I prefer fixed blades as well but here in MA you can only carry a knife with a 3" blade, everything else is illegal.
@ Grave: I do, but I still hate when my knives get scratches, similar to how I hate when my CD's get scratches.

MegaTherion777 folding knives, schmolding knives. they can be convenient, but i like my fixed-blades. i'm a big fan of the good old fashioned boot knife. warrior - spring-loaded blades are illegal, so if you get one, be ******** careful around whom you display it. i've got my dad's old stiletto, but i almost never take it out of the house because of our nanny-state government watching over us to make sure we don't hurt ourselves... scream There is a huge distinction between spring assisted opening knives, and switch blades. Spring assisted are COMPLETELY legal because you have to use your own force to open them, the spring just assists in the process. They are opened by applying pressure on the back of the blade to push it to a certain threshold where the spring takes affect. Your own force. Switch blades are operated by a button, which is illegal. Also, stilettos are illegal because they are not opened by your own force and because they hide the blades. Same as butterfly knives, but I found a loophole and had a legal one. It was a different design, same concept, but not specifically outlawed. But trust me, if spring assisted knives were illegal I couldn't buy one in wal-mart. And you don't even have to be 18 to get it.

i thought you said spring-loaded, not spring-assisted. my bad.
also, butterfly knives are only illegal in some states - CA, MA, NY and a few others. but they are not illegal in all states - yet. i have no doubts that our nanny state will probably take them away at some point as well. scream
this reminds me, i need to look up concealed weapons laws in the state of maine. i wonder if i'd need a permit to carry a bootknife, or if it's the same as if i had a pocket knife on me... prolly need a damned permit.
