When the people fear their government, that is tyranny. When government fears the people, that is freedom.

Very nice!


I am beginning to very seriously consider the Gator from Silver Stag. I've been looking for a mid-sized sheepsfoot-blade one-hand open non-serrated knife; and in ergonomics, steel, and price; it checks most of the boxes (OK, $133 is a lot but these are higher quality than most production brands).

The problem is I can't decide between cocobolo and stag. I've seen knives in both handle materials that have lived hard lives, and they still seem fine.

They don't give very many details, or even have an about/history page; but apparently, they've been in business for "over 20 years" and started out as one guy making knives out of his garage as a hobby.

I bought a Silver Stag bowie awhile back from a flea market and it appears to be a very nice knife. A little on the large side to use or carry every day but I still like it.

There are, and have been, so many NRA knives that it could be a collectors focus all in its own right. I have them by Schrade, Buck Knives, and Case (all USA made) some recent, some old. There are also Chinese, Japanese (I have a Lakota), and Taiwan made NRA branded knives out there. I wish there was a guide to them all. OH

I paid $60 for it a couple years ago.
