Relax Monkey Man. Luxuriate in the ownership of that new Barrage. It's a fine knife to soften the landing of the fall from grace. :mrgreen:

A Barrage 581, Benchmade offered mix and match scales and blade steel for awhile. Sucked me right in, they did.

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

At least for me, that's "brief periods of remission". ::dang::

Monk, I am not a doctor, but I am pretty sure that going two years without a new knife is dangerous to a man's well being. I sure do not plan to try it, anyway!

That Barrage certainly is a beauty.
