Guys - I think there has been a little misunderstanding here. Messer 454 had good intentions of trying to help fellow Junk Yard Dogs get their numbers, by PAYING for them himself at the Blade Show and then re-selling them to the JYD's concerned. I know this because I talked with him at Blade; his concern really was to help fellow Junk Yard Dogs. A few of us bought extra knives with the intention of helping fellow "Dogs" - keep in mind that we pay for these up front and incur the interest on our credit cards. This is over and above what we may have been pre-paid to proxy for others.

I can tell you straight out that Messer 454 is one top-notch guy, and I hope I might alleviate any concerns about his intentions. We are fortunate to have him in our pack! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Tom
