The 'power' of a celebrity name.....

Here's one to chew on, at the Blade magazine show, the Hall of Fame Knife was the last one made by the great Bill Moran, it went for $37,000.00. So most of the rest are a bargin.

That I can understand due to Bill's fame but $700 for this knife is nuts you can buy a Helle knife for $50 which will be just as good as this one. I guess it's due to Wilkinson going out of business. I think the maker is still around and he can make you a new one for less than $700.

Odd, I would had thought that having rivets on the handle would be detrimental for a utility knife like this, as the metal would eventually rub against your hand causing blisters?

The rivets are flush so there would be no rubbing.

I would think for a near-priceless ($17 million dollar) amulet, you could get better than parcel post - I mean why not even just throw in the overnight express?

hilarious

PS: does it protect you from scammers?

Ariel

You owe me a new keyboard

thank goodness I didn't hurt myself when I fell off the chair

That thing is not even old and it looks like a sling or something?

I keep my promises

It is not a sling, you ignorant non-believer! It is a magical mini-bikini!

Gentlemen, I don't think you should jest about things you don't understand....

I own a wardrobe of clothes.... and discovered they must pocess mystical properties.....since wearing them I have not suffered bullet wounds, stabbings, motar attacks, nuclear strikes, biological attacks....not even a missile attack.
I will gladly sell them to you, my friends, for a 'cut down' price......T-shirts a mere $1000000 each........roll up.. roll up for the sale of the century...first come , first served.......

Have you cut yourself or nicked yourself shaving lately?

Lew

katana · 25th October 2006, 03:38 PM

Lew....yes I have........but I wasn't wearing my 'wardrobe' clothes.....I think that proves the point

Next time I shave I'll be wearing a 'protective' T-shirt , and use one of my Tulwars as a blade

Battara · 26th October 2006, 12:58 AM

Life is sometimes a freak show, isn't it?

By the way, I have some swamp land in Florida to sell if anyone is interested..

Shaved today, wearing a nice, clean white 'protective' T-shirt......well to CUT a long story short.....I've decided to reduce the price to $20.....because of the slight RED staining.
