    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Khukuri are generally allowed through customs with minimal restrictions, if any. I've imported several from Nepal.

    Ok so here is an old curved skinner. My mother in law died recently and when we were cleaning out the house I came across it, rusted and forgotten, amongst my father-in-law's tools. I figure it could easily be 50 years old, or more. So I cleaned it up and it took a pretty good edge. And then I got HGD to do this superbly beautiful custom leather sheath. It looks gorgeous in the photo but it's even better in real life. The green against the red stitching is really very beautiful. And it fits like a glove, of course. So cheers Hamish you have done me proud! My father-in-law was a great one for looking after his gear (he flew a Mosquito in the war, maybe it came from that) and I'm sure he'd be happy to see his knife cleaned up and in such a beautiful sheath.Name: IMG_1318.jpg Views: 721 Size: 366.9 KBName: IMG_1320.jpg Views: 645 Size: 360.8 KB

    Yeah I don't really know. There's no maker's mark of any kind on the blade.

    Added another Strider to the small but now growing collection.

    This one's a fairly rare Arctic grey scale with the double gunner grip texture on the Ti and G10 side, blade is PD#1.
