dunno, Lupa. try e-mailing patti or trash can, have them ask dan what he thinks. I think it's a kind offer, and if it's kosher I'm all for it. thank you.

That sounds like a good idea, I may be interested.

Lupa - that is a very generous offer you extended to us! However, when one of our fellow forumites offered to get dealer type pricing on other brands of knives, Dan shot it down. You could try and ask him, but don't be surprised if he replies negatively. Wonderful thought though!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Tom

i quite like mine
but it is inappropriate to offer to sell stuff here. many of us have already tried <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I must have been a half-second quicker posting Scrappy! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Lupa, a request to you could be done by private messages, just not an "open" posting. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for the update guys.
I figured the rules went along that path, but I didnt want anyone to think I wouldnt be willing to make the offer. Had to ask. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Back to our regularly scheduled forum talk. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I'm glad to hear the blastmatch is back.....now I just have to find one at a reasonable price.....up here in the north.

Well, you’re welcome to post the info at the BKE. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Then maybe if someone references something they’re looking for that you can get, you could just reply something like “Check BKE”, then you could post your offer there. Hopefully one of the other 100+ members there might also be interested, and they could help you out by giving you their business, and you could help them by providing them a “Yard discount”. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I am considering the whole kit that Vance posted. Looks like it could be a nice kit to carry while I am bow hunting.

Check out BKE.

Too bad this offer is not still available. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Everybody always downs the Blastmatch because the ABS housing might break. So what? Even if it does, you still have a mack-daddy fero rod that will throw a HUGE amount of hot sparks when you scrape it with almost any type of blade. Since everyone I know always has a couple of blades, I don't consider that possible weakness to be any problem.
If anything, the color of the housing bothers me more. Black blends in too well if it's dropped in the bush. I've ran thin yellow line through all of mine to make them stand out more. I saw some orange ones a while back on ebay, but just couldn't stand to pay the prices asked.
All mine came from the killer deals that the NRA had a couple of years ago. 15 bucks for the Survival Inc. kit containing the Blastmatch, Jet Scream whistle, fire starting tabs, & signal mirror all contained in the waterproof, almost crushproof container mentioned in another post. They made GREAT Xmas gifts for my buddies & I kept two or three for myself.
Anyway, it's a GREAT firestarter that always works. Period
