Two more I picked up around Blade 2010, thanks to a proxy friend.

The SJTAC that gave up it's snakeskin handles came back looking like this.

That then inspired me to strip my Gladius.

And then the matching BOSS Jack.

The Gladius is no lightweight.

WOW Tim, you have some great equipment there! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> Did you rob a bank? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

No, I shop very carefully and buy used when I can to save a ton. Some things get sold along the way to fund other things too. The big thing is if a person can get themself out of debt, the money you make in payments can be saved and applied to other things. Cash is still king, especially when working out a deal with someone. It isn't easy, but it sure is worth it in the end. If you are going to take on a payment, try to get 0% interest, pay early and pay often until you are done. AVOID credit cards and other high interest debt traps like the plague. I learned the hard way and started over.

Hey Tom, remember this show?

AG Russell 2010 was my first Busse attended knife show. I met Garth and Woz, as well as Private Klink and several others.

There were a lot of goodies for such a small show. It was a lot of fun.

I don't think this many AK47's have been at one show since...

Choices, choices...
