The Random offered in TACTICAL KNIVES, after
a phone call to Cheasapeake Knife & Tool is
STILL availible for the sale price ; as to
print the ad in the May 2004 issue would be
"mis-leading advertising" ( the FTC would get their @$$ for that!!! <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>)

If ya' go with a Boa, the best bet for you
( geograpically speaking ) is Mike @ BestKnives www.BestKnives.com ( he's in Florida ; good prices! )

Or- Josh @ Pioneer Valley / Knifezilla :

www.PVK.com

New Graham's another good choice, he's limited to the stock he has on hand though.

I also have a Chive and I'm very pleased of it. Jur told us quite a story about his Chive, indeed is a special one as it comes directly from Ken Onion. I was also pleasantly surprised by Kershaw's customer service. Some time ago, the spring of my Chive broke off (after a few thousand openings and closings) <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> and I asked Kershaw to send me a spare spring. Not only they sent me a few torsion bars, but they added there a spare pocket clip, just in case. All free of charge. Ken Onion has a personal style and a lot of fine designs.
Has anyone seen the Steven Segal model yet? I think I've recognized Ken's hand there too (despite Steven Segall's signature) <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

J Smith -

PVK.com has the BLUR for $54 + $6 shipping

DiALEX -

AGREED! Steven Segal's autograph should appear on 8x10 glossies! ( Keep'em off
a knife's blade! ) A factoid : My first
"Onion" was a Chive ; a friend who does
painting now has it.

That CE Random Leek's lookin' better all
the time!

OK ... I wasn't gonna wax and wane about Kershaws on the Spydie board, but ... forget individual skill here ..., but you might be hard pressed to find a faster knife from a closed position than a Ken Onion Kershaw with Speedsafe ... IMHO...

They open fast indeed, but that's not necessarily an advantage.

I had an original Random task at 1 time and it developed lock issues(noticable blade play when locked open) and instead of sending it back to Kershaw I informed the fellow I was swapping with and he took care of it.
I still have a BT coated S60V Avalanche and I like it altho it never see's any carry time.
Quick opener, but in a rush I'd miss that lil stud for sure. Ron

Allen: Looks like you have really started something here! Several years ago, I had a chance to buy a Model 1050 Folding Field from a local sporting goods store for $50 but at the time it was too much money. They are about $100 now. I guess that I like Spyderco's too much now to want one.

i've got a chive i've had for several years. i used it heavily to cut down boxes etc. and it was a GREAT little knife.

i've got a mini random task with a warncliffe blade on it's way. i'm hoping it's all i imagine it to be.
