I remember saying that same thing and then I decided to buy land and build a house that would justify owning a knife that big. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Not sure I have enough posts to count as a "dog" per se, love the knives anyway. I both registered too late and sat this one out intentionally. An epic blade indeed, but your best knife is the one you have on you and regrettably I rarely can carry a shortsword on my person. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Does that help with your informal survey of sorts, or was it simply unwelcome?
