Excellent.....and I'm sure it will be used properly in your hands after all you didn't pay retail for them, also I do hope the gentleman included care,and storage instructions for a high carbon blade along with then.

.......and there it is....

Yeah as much as your heart may be in the right place, your letter does not fare much better for the community to a discerning eye . So maybe a re write might be wise?

No debate....Even if I could afford it, I find it impractical to purchase a knife or gun just to display it. I'm sure others will point out that Damascus steel blades are used every day in kitchens all over the world but a cleaver by it's very nature is designed to take massive abuses in it's lifespan. Abuse I'm not sure anyone owning such a beautiful hand crafted blade would abide.

They are beautiful handcrafted pieces and while $250.00 may seem a lot, consider that a basic stamped steel Japanese Global cleaver retails for $200.00. I beat my cleavers up hammering through bones and such so a pretty Damascus would be nothing more than a display item and all my knives have to work for a living.

Alrighty then......Guess I'm looking at TV standing up..... ...this is going to hurt...

Please...I get the science....but there has got to be modifications made to the gun.....lighter return spring,weighted slide,trimmed rails , hell Sexwax perhaps . I have a heavy ass CZ and a G19 and no amount of Ninja'ing is going to rack their slides in that manner.

OK, I've watched it 3 times. How? Do tell Sensei.

No worries.... Obviously I would think twice before strapping on any one of my larger knives before hitting the PATH but ironically that is exactly what I do when I visit my family...In our small town as in most, a knife on the hip is no different from a Letterman tool.

Sig p250 compact 9mm. A gun you either loved or hated. The least expensive of the Sig line at the time,with a long DA trigger that even after 500 rounds refused to "smooth out". temperamental with some ammo,mags,and caliber change kits were rare and expensive. I exchanged it for a S&W .357 and never looked back.

I've owned the original Weber performer stainless for 16 years now and just rebuilt it last summer with a new bowl,cover,heavy gauge grill with cast iron insert and thermometer all for less than the cost of a new One touch. Still get it's 5lb propane bottle filled at U Haul and having the convenience of a gas start but cooking with charcoal is priceless. The new Performer is no longer made with a stainless tray and now use camp gas bottles to ignite the charcoal but it's still an excellent grill,

I have no experience with Kimbers,never fired one or held one so for all I know they could be excellent firearms ....but when I see a 30% off sale on anything I immediately think someone is attempting to dump either old discontinued stock,a sales dog, a not as advertized item or just plain bad merchandise. Now the next obvious question is at a 30% discounted price....just how over priced were these firearms without the discount and how pissed I would be if I saw a Kimber I just purchased at full mark up in Palmetto's sales inventory.

Thank you for your eloquent and comprehensive answer and please know I agree with you. I've carried a knife since I was 8 years old {we get our first around that age, Norwegian fishing folk tradition} and not for some vague notion of utilizing it for self defense but strictly as a everyday tool and like you have practiced a logical and non defensive answer if accosted by Law Enforcement. I now rotate my EDC between some inexpensive assisted Kershaws and a nice little Bench Mark fixed blade in a kydex sheath.{I tend to misplace my knives so expensive ones are out of the question} My question for Mr Fudd was more of a statutory nature as in.... is it written anywhere of a specific length of blade that is again of "legal length limits" in either NJ or NY because I could not find such a spec myself. I gather from your and Mr Fudd's subsequent posts that there isn't.......I am no longer confused.

Christie may not talk much about it, if at all but He'll veto it . The next Governor is who we must be concerned with because as sure as day if Democratic we will be reduced to much more than just 10 round mags.

...mine don't offer extensions at all unless you have documentation that you have a firearm payed for and on back order.......

Now I'm confused.......what are the specs on "legal length limits"?

East Brunswick,Monroe is where I moved to after JC.Commuting by bus is approximately 40 minutes to an hour under the best of circumstances and I regularly make it into Chinatown in less if I'm driving in. School system are good with lots of accredited Montessori and faith based schools to choose from.... taxes however are high.

+1 This........

I think we all held scant hope that they would hear the case but man lives in eternal hope plus it gave us an opportunity to dream.....

My wife's favorite is a Taurus 605 with a 3 inch barrel which I also installed a Wolff spring kit but what she really likes is my S&W model 27-2. My next purchase for both of us will probably be a S&W 686 with a 3 inch barrel where I'll swap out the grips for a Hogue rubber just for range days. a option you should investigate also as my wife has small hands too and loves this setup.

Nicky is it?.... Son,if you had bothered in your haste to access the archives on this forum you would have found that the OP has many years military experience,written extensively on the Beretta 92 and most probably can teach you and I a few things on that particular firearm. But please let me apologize for basically "setting you up" , I as most of us on this forum take it for granted you've done your homework before calling someone out but so be it..... Cheers.

The OP's avatar is a Beretta logo embroidered yamaka..........I rather believe he is aware of that little fact and taken it into account before choosing a particular Beretta for a HD firearm.

...and that Friend is why a revolver is my primary bedside firearm...

For me in that most unlikely of scenarios would be a Glock 26 or a CZ 2075 Rami....both 9mm guns, both small enough and reliable.

Sold out....
